Week 5 Independant Study

DOCUMENTARY TYPE

The mode of documentary I have decided to implement to my final machinma video is Expository. With my final video intended do be short and precisely on point, I felt that a direct approach was needed. This mode allows me to grasp the viewer's attention and leave them with a lasting impression and a question to linger on after the machinma finishes.

ABOUT THE MACHINMA (The Concept)

Peace, like war, is not everlasting. There will always be conflict in the world no matter how perfect the everything around us may seem. We all know it, and have our own predictable thoughts and reactions (whether it be instinctive or implanted) if that conflict were to ever approach our paradise.

But what if that threat was something else entirely? Something beyond what we currently know. For as long we've existed, we've always wondered if there is life beyond earth. Even in the present we still try to unravel the mystery, filmmakers give us a glimpse on what it would be like if an alien species were to suddenly arrive. But would it be the same in reality? The lingering question my machinma asks is that if something so foreign, alien, and different arrived at your front step, would you welcome it with open arms? Just like our nations, even though we may bond over the ages, there will always be a gap of doubt between us and them, a secret war. But would you rather it be with a familiar enemy, or an unknown one?

CONCEPTUAL LINK BETWEEN PACHUBE OUTPUTS AND THE IDEA OF PURE WAR!

The outputs by the space weather center record solar wind and magnetic fields. My idea of aliens derive from outerspace, and the mystery of it much like the mystery of what happens outside our Earth to cmoonpeople, beyond what we see in everyday life in the media.

MACHINMA DRAFT PRODUCT - THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

The above is a draft edit of machinma video. It currently has no background score, music, or any other sounds. It does however, include draft captions and is titled The Devil You Know in relation to the familiar quote meaning you are better off facing something familiar and known rather than something new and unpredictable.

In regards to the captions, I decided to cut it down and rather than try to question how people would react to a sudden arrival, but more boldingly assumed that the foreign race was hostile and assumingly here to invade rather than form diplomatic relations.
