By doing my previous proposal on the “text” Inception, a science fiction thriller by Christopher Nolan, I was able to delve deeper into the actual proposal. Inception argues how the mind can be influenced and changed with the smallest thing. The film as a whole is based on the idea of ​​invading dreams and the mind, hence the name Inception. The text argues that implanting an idea in someone's mind is the greatest power, as they will believe they generated the idea themselves and will act accordingly. This happens both in reality and in the dreams of the person the "initial" group wishes to invade. A charcoal drawing was created to try to represent and argue the idea of ​​Inception. Inception explores dreams as something that can be changed at will, whether by the will of the owner or someone else. A scene takes place in Cobb's (the main character) mind. He is training a recruit, Ariadne, as "The Architect", so that she can become the one who will make a dream come true for the victim, Fisher. The invader must create a realistic world based on what the victim normally does every day in order to allow him to think that everything is not a dream. This scene mainly appeals to our emotions and is incorporated more into my project. Arianna begins to playfully change the scenery in Cobb's mind. The setting is originally a small cafe in a bustling urban city. It distorts reality and twists streets on themselves until a layer of buildings is folded and stacked on top of each other from roof to roof. Cobb and Ariadne can now walk on “walls” that are actually the ground, but “walls” at the same time. The visual effects of this scene made the text really engaging and was one of the aspects I liked most about the...... mid-card project. It might seem repetitive, but everything that went into this project was done specifically to create a look of reality and fantasy, which is why charcoal was used. I think charcoal was a very successful medium to portray what I wanted. I say this because I tried other mediums (watercolor, colored pencils) in a smaller scale experiment and they didn't hold up as well as charcoal did. The charcoal gives the final product a more enigmatic feel (although I might have gone a step too far and given it a more horror-like theme). All in all, I think this project made the main points about Inception that I wanted it to make. Dreams and reality can look and feel the same as each other. The mind may keep secrets locked away, but (at least in the setting Inception is set in) it can easily be invaded and succumb to external pressures..
