The exploration of evoking emotion in a gallery space has extended into my Final Media Arts project. This projected aimed to achieve this through creative story telling. ‘Smoking Gun’ was a multiscreen installation telling the stories of several counts of domestic abuse. The varying abuse stories were told through several characters, joined together through their knowing each other as friends. This makes for a connected story and gives it a greater feeling of depth. The types of abuse that are shown are physical, sexual, psychological and financial abuse. Although these are different types of abuse, they all hold similarities within each other, these are all shown on screen. Abuse such as verbal abuse and varying kinds of physical abuse, some more severe than others. Verbal abuse is a strong theme throughout, because that is where all abuse starts, through disrespect and that disrespect is verbalised.
