My focus group was a class of year 7 students. This was the notes I made from their reactions.
In the 1950s, experiments were performed to find out how people react to isolation. It proved to take it's toll in the strangest of ways.
The experiment was supposed to take place for a month, though none of the patients lasted 4 days. Any who had not quit within the 2 or 3 days had become totally insane; many never recovered. In the experiment, the patients were placed in a room without contact to the outside world. They could not hear, they could not move, they could not touch and the could not see. This resulted in extreme hallucinations; anything from hearing running water to seeing imaginary missiles being fired at the patient from an imaginary rocket ship. This reaction was caused by a mix of an over-active imagination and a traumatised mind, tainted by dread. In my trailer, I want my "Wandering-guard" character's paranoia to take over, There are many types of night vision I could use for my cameras. Most images taken by them have a palette of green, white and black. The white is usually the light, the green is what the camera can see and the black is usually the far background or the shadows as they have nothing physical that light can hit. Other cameras are similar, though many are more of a pale green or a brown or even grey rather than a bright green. Then, of course you can have thermal cameras which pick up heat waves, colour coding by what heat they pick up on. Usually, hot colours are yellow, red and orange whilst cold to warm are purple, blue or green.
I will most likely use the most common, which is the pale green or grey colour as they are used more for CCTV, though I will play with the effects and see what I like best. |
