My Thoughts

· Writing down my thoughts seems to be the most difficult part for me. Although I would like to know what it is about this sinister theme that intrigues me, I don’t know if it’s that simple.


· What is it about certain things that make people fear them? Even though I don’t like feeling scared, like at movies, I don’t have any real phobias. Trying to figure out what it is that makes people feel fear could also be interesting.


· I enjoy the concept of taking everyday objects, things that seem safe, and then making them a little more sinister. Not many fears are easy to incorporate though. I can’t wait to get some of the actual concept art done as well. This is because I’ve got some interesting reactions from people about my project, and I really want to see people’s reactions to the actual concept art itself.


· I’m still struggling writing down my thoughts a little bit. I hoping this project will start to help with this though because I would really like to make my thoughts part of this project as well. I think I might be figuring out what it is that intrigues me about this sinister concept though. At least more than when I started. Although I’m not positive I think it has something to do with the aspect of fear.


· I noticed more and more that a lot of my movies fit this sinister theme. So, obviously it goes beyond just thoughts and images.


· I got scared for the first time in a while the other day. Although I don’t like the feeling it kind of felt good to be scared, one’s got to enjoy the Halloween spirit. It also made me start thinking again, or more I guess, on what it is that makes people feel fear. Like what triggers it, and why people are afraid of certain things.


· The longer I work on this project the more interested I have continued to get in this idea of fear. It seems to me that I would get bored of the subject after a while but that isn’t the case at all. It doesn’t matter what it is that I’m doing either, whether it be collecting images, making the everyday objects look more sinister, and even just things that I see everyday, it still holds my attention and even makes me feel a little excited and anxious.


· After working on this project I finally feel like I understand as to what it is that interests me so much in this SINISTER theme. I don’t necessarily think it has to do with feeling scared as much as it is the objects that are involved with fear or that trigger people’s fears.
