Test model

I made my first test model first using paper to get the outline of how I wanted the box the sits around the light to look. I decided to use black card to create this light and I have decided to use LED torch which has a brighter light. I also made slides with patterns and cellophane on it... the box I created I but slits into to have the slides, slide through, however these slits interrupt the continuos light from the torch so takes away from the final pattern..... to overcome this I will either have blutak or velcro and make it so the pattern/colour gobo can attach to the bottom and the light will shine down straight on to the pattern rather than 'leaking' out the sides.... I also discovered that although the pattern can be seen in light it is more effective when it is darker... I think to overcome this I will make a half box thing that eliminates some of the light and helps the image to shine better and add to the metaphor and message I am trying to communicate....
SO that means next I will be making a similar box that has a circle at the top and circle at the bottom the circle at the top fits around the torch, at the bottom there will be velcro or blutak to help stick the slides.... I will still use the black card however...... I will also make a half box type creation using black card...this achieved by tuesday of next week..... In terms of the 200-300 words I will first look at creating the pseudo code which I will create by the end of the weekend..... I will include a written, plain english explanation with this to make it clear which I hope to achieve by next thursday at the latest..... the rest of the time I will spend making sure everything is clear....
