Projection

My project is a short video set in a playground environment where a child is explored and observed through the use of a handheld flashlight. I chose to use a flashlight because it allows the light to actively follow and respond to the subject’s movements, turning light into a storytelling tool rather than just illumination. As the child thinks, jumps, sits, climbs, and slides, the shape and focus of the light shifts to match each action, highlighting specific moments and guiding the viewer’s attention. The light not only reveals the space but also creates a playful and dynamic atmosphere that reflects natural childhood behavior, including small imperfections like slipping or sliding back while climbing. By recording these moments, the project captures a simple and familiar experience, while demonstrating how light can shape perception, emphasize action, and transform an ordinary environment into an engaging and immersive story.
