Treatment

In a group of 3, we plan to create a 5 minute video piece of unsettling, chilling,and possibly disturbing video art.
After researching into interesting locations on Secret Leeds and Flickr for inspiration, we came across a closed down mental asylum called High Royds in Menston. We researched this further and came across some chilling photographs others had taken in the building, and decided this may be an ideal location for filming. Therefore we plan to visit the location prior to filming to ensure it is suitable.
We also discovered that a security guard from Liberty Park (our halls) had worked at High Royds for 12 years, patrolling, looking after patients and such. We spent time talking to John about his time there and decided that it would be interesting to have a voice over our video, either him or even a small child talking about incidents and happenings that he had witnessed. We also intend to have a piece of music playing over the footage, a piece that isn't well known so it doesn't become some kind of "music video" , but music that may be distressing to the audience, that may show contrast to the visuals.

We plan to do further research into music videos, artists etc for inspiration before visiting the location and creating a story board.
