Right. Here we are onto project 3, the biggest and last project for creative coding. The coding function that I intend to take and form a metaphor out of is the 'if/else' function.
The if/else function is basically categorized into making decisions in the application based on information given to it. It's a conditional. It relies on other variables to function.
Essentially, the if/else function is like a metaphor for decision making or something along the lines of choosing your path. A crossroads in a way. However, the if/else function or metaphor isn't only related to a 2 pronged decision - "Should I do this or should I do that?" Instead, it is able to present itself with many different courses of action, much like real life situations where decisions are required.
Possible project ideas. Visual metaphors.
Idea 1
Poster series trying to highlight how different decisions will lead to different outcomes and scenarios for the same person.
So have person standing there in the same pose, looking over their shoulder maybe? But the location/scenario in every poster is different, however the person in each poster in always performing the exact same pose, so there is a sense of continuity.
Idea 2
Short movie clip. First person clip. Attach a camera to an individual's head, and track progress throughout the day or something like that. But then replay, and maybe animate it like a video game so that each decision making moment, list options or buttons appear showing all the different possibilities that this protagonist could take and then 'pressing' the desired chosen option.

Idea 3
An interactive idea of idea 2 maybe? Where users are offered the opportunity to select choices and the clip re-enacts those options that are chosen... So almost like a visual interactive piece.
