FORGET ME NOT

Ella Turner is currently developing her experimental documentary, Forget Me Not, which captures the ever changing family dynamic over the years, before and after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and the effect on three generations.

After receiving backing from the Immersive Arts Fund to explore the project, Ella is using this opportunity to dedicate time to the hours of footage she has gathered and to pull out possible story arcs and avenues the immersive film could explore.

By sitting with the archive, then trialling sequences using immersive sound and vision, we will test how intimate videos and moments, those of which are normally only seen by family members (if watched at all), transfer to a 360 experience shared with strangers.

We are hoping to gain an understanding of how to build the story in a different way than for standard cinema screens and how the immersive technology impacts on the audience reaction.
