Velasquez Pope Innocent X
Francis Bacon Pope

Mind-mapping & notes
My initial idea is to communicate the drama, pain, franetic passion and anguish that embodies Bacon's work using a rapid editing technique - but this proved difficult because of the languidness of both Bacon and David Sylvester...
FIRST ATTEMPT
As a result of this experiment I feel that this approach is unsuitable for this piece of audio. The languidness of the audio is too disparate from the visual style I think essentially represents Bacon's creative process... I think too that the incorporation of type on-screen is unnecessary and is not only a distraction but a hindrance. On reflection I think a remix of the audio is needed with the addition of a dramatic score, to which the visuals can be edited. So, sound first, then picture. The other visual theme that I'm mindful of is that of a crime scene - flash images in the dark exposing unimaginable horror, degradation and promiscuity. The only contextual reference I can think of is the title sequence of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - see it here.
