For the project ‘Clarify’ I wasn’t completely sure where I was going to take it, however I was certain I wanted to do something that pushed me. So I am planning on making something that I have not really done before but I felt that I wanted to try new direction and push myself to my limits and out of my comfort zone. To build my confidence and try an aspect of my life that I have always fantasised about. So I am going to be looking at fame and all that surrounds it.
I got this idea because I thought about how quickly an average person, like myself, can be formed into a “celebrity” in such a short space of time. With new technology, tv talent shows and video internet sites it’s seems that you don’t even have to be talented to be famous. Even with current singers at this time you can be dubbed and auto-tuned to sound like a true star. Is it really this easy?
From creating an alter-ego for myself and using my own talent, I will then be documenting myself trying to prove how easy it really is to be famous or even recognised in today’s world. Using different medias from posters to video blogs and hopefully live appearances.
After making this I’m hoping to achieve some goals throughout for example; a certain number of views on my blog site, being recognised by a member of the public and maybe creating an event or performance where I have fans that I have gained from promoting myself as a product. I also want to prove how people, who look at media are so easily influence by everything that they see and hear, if I tell them I’m going to be/am famous with sufficient ‘evidence’ will they believe me, treat me differently or both?
I have started my blog where I shall be posting research and my own videos and diary of my progress and I have already been in talk with an acoustic guitarist to help with singing along with a team of friends who are willing to put in all their artistic skills to help me along the way.
