Billy Glew
Billy is researching through practice how dreams, and in particular the
unconscious, are presented in film. The theoretical element of his research
includes analysing pre-existing filmic dream sequences from the silent to modern
era and also investigating how the different dream theories of Freud, Jung,
Revonsuo and Hobson relate to the construction of film-based dream sequences.
In the practical part of Billy’s research he aims to combine his theoretical findings
with a variety of film-making techniques to produce dream sequences which
focus specifically on how to present the unconscious elements of dreaming on
screen. The finished films will be presented using different formats including 2D,
installation-based and virtual-reality 360 to examine how altering the method of
presentation affects the audience’s experience.
Techniques used to produce the raw material for the dream sequences include the
use of automatic drawing, using computer randomisation to select images and
reconstructions of dream reports.
