After some careful consideration, I’m thinking that perhaps slasher films aren’t the best approach. At this point in time, they feel somewhat restrictive, and not really expressing the ideas I feel I want to with this project.
I’m also re-evaluating whether wood is the correct materiality for this project. Obviously budget considerations are never the best way to deal with a project, but unfortunately wood appears to be a very expensive and very time consuming medium to get correct. Ideally, I would love to use some very large and thick pieces of pine wood, however these would be at least $99 per piece, if not more, putting it a bit out of my price range for this project.
Currently, I’m considering use video art. I still want to look at horror films and have a few options I’m thinking about and researching, and looking at films and cinema, using video art seems like a natural material form.
