So far for this project I have researched many artists using the internet as my main resource along with several books. I have also used artists who are not necessarily new media artists but who have inspired me through their use of art and installtions. Janet Orselli is a favourite of mine and I have looked at her work for this project as inspiration for mine. My film however was based on the idea of natural and manmade, but has also evolved as my knowledge of how film can be used, has grown.

For example I looked at the way two completely different pieces of footage could be edited to give an impression of something to the viewer, that woulod make the viewer realise something without my needing to spell it out. This is a very important part of the film making process and subtlety can work well but can also be largely lost.

I know exactly what I want the film to do and what I want in it. Actually creating the desired effect is proving tricky, especially when you throw all the technical difficulties in with it!!
