This compilation i created of found machinima was designed to depict the stength and overpowering experience over human kind through the exagerated display of destruction due to explosion and porosity. The aim was also to effectiviely depict the environment and point to the scale of destruction and generate the experience of breadth of the event and to emphasise human vulnerability in association with such a case. The inferiority of humankind was illustrated with the careful choice of scenes depicting a mirage of an individual running towards an enormous blast with determination and genuine interest in defeating the opposing force but is rather struck and brought down.

Final custom machinima:

This custom machinima compilation gives a rather contrasting view through an entirely opposite approach of explosions and porosity. It explores how human knowledge and wealth of experience provides a defence mechanism that may possibly protect humankind or rather defeat the forces associated within a blast or explosion. I was able to incorporate quick cut scenes to create a sense of chaos whilst the long held scene conveyed the sense of emptiness and loss.

Hypothesis

The arrangement of spaces and forms of objects determines the extremety of the aftermath associated with explosions and thier destruction on the surrounding environments.
Yet visual aspects play a vital role in depicting the scenes by altering views in accordance with camera angles,associated colours, cinematography and film/documentary editing techniques.

Custom machinima: What documentary mode is it?

I chose to work with the observational mode of documentary, with the intention to act as a third person with no influential value on the topic at hand. Rather than conveying a strong firm view to pursuade my audience, i addressed the issue of explosions and thier inevitable consequences on humankind with the depiction of images which are able to display motive behind the exploration of the issue. The real life scenario of explosions and thier associated danger are depicted to create a sense of immediacy, awareness and awakening of the topic which would otherwise be left unexplored. The scene structure was carefully thought out with the intention of complimenting the text and forming a visual component to the dillema and question put forward.

i found these machinima on youtube and thought they were quite interesting and engaging as they both pay carefull consideration to the audio aspect which plays a vital role in keeping the audience in sync with the machinima. They also effectively explore various camera angles and perspectives and filmediting techniques to convey thier message.
