Deep Effect
Climactic scenes from Hollywood action films are reproduced from screenplay text and film score. The visual elements from these scenes have been left out in order to deconstruct the cinematic environment, thus altering the “viewer’s” sense of space and time within an abstracted narrative structure. Without an image to fill in the gaps, the culmination of the events described in text is left unresolved. This creates a state of alienation where the cathartic result of action has been withheld. The audio is inserted in order to provide a purpose for the otherwise homogenous scenes of chaos. It therefore acts as a tool to return the “viewer” to a more familiar environment. The film score serves to relieve anxiety by inserting a secondary form of media to reconstruct the fragmented cinematic moment.
