My work explores the dimensions of collaborating thriller/horror films with comedic effects. The tension and anxiety that is built up in the genres of thriller/horror I want to be able to reduce the uneasy feeling through the medias of music, animation and paint.
To produce this work, I remake a film scene through animation and incorporate comedic effects to them. For example, within ‘Deceiving Love’ an iconic cinematic scene from Vertigo, I have added the woman smoking a carrot into the scene with fluorescent colours switching throughout the scene. Another example would be through the classical scene of ‘Psycho’ where the woman begins screaming in the shower. The way I have brought light to this scene is through the weapon being a rubber duck. It is confusing and comedic making the audience question “What is she screaming for?”
The audience I intend for this project to see is movie lovers, but also anyone. The suspension that surrounds these horror genres, I want to propel to the audience that throughout films or even life, this apprehensive feeling that lingers through anxious situations can be decreased and substituted to make light from it.
