You must answer me these questions three.




Even though I have a rough idea of what I could do for my piece, I still feel like the idea hasn't been fully considered. I'm unsure as to how I could transfer my idea to three screens. To get an idea of how I could use the three screens effectively, I looked at some film triptych's online.

The one above was something I found on vimeo, and I thought it was really interesting as it uses symmetry between the screens for effect, yet also doesn't use them all at once at times, flashing them on and off. I like this because it shows how I can use the three screens to interact with each other in a subtle way, and also how to use them not necessarily in time with one another.



This next one is more of an example of how a triptych can be used to show multiple perspectives of the same thing, in this sense it is for more of a commercial aspect. However, the placement of the screens is also interesting, it gives an idea of levels and it helps us gain further perspective of what we are trying to view; cars in this case. The triptych also at points gives a sense of rhythm and acknowledging the fact that this is on three screens. This then creates a more aesthetic appeal. It shows the audience that the company are using as much of the space as they have in as much of an effective way as possible.



This video art triptych shows different aspects of a supermarket. The music and the sound scape creates a sense of the day to day, and the fast paced atmosphere of these places. Using different speeds at points further emphasizes this and showing multiple repeating scenes as well as sounds does this also. 

Overall it seems rhythm and timing is very important when using three screens. It feels to me as if acknowledging that you are using three screens in some form to use them to full effect.
