Idea Post -- Contextualizing Location -- 3.10
One thing that was mentioned in my critique that I really grasped onto was what can be said for the amount of creature that cannot be seen outside of the frame. In a comment on my critique blog post Sarah Hauser commented that perhaps I should contextualize the location in order to show where the prop is coming from. For example, in the tentacle image, perhaps have the model in a pool or bathtub. In the image with the chicken foot, maybe have a table next to the model with the foot extending from that. While I don't think this is necessarily a bad suggestion, I think it would take something away from the mystery that stems from not knowing where the object is coming from or why. I think it is much more eerie and unsettling to have a kind of phantom limb coming at you from an unidentified place.
