In the group, I was assigned to prepare the projections to use on the shoot as we decided to create our own projections as existing texts wouldn't fit with the mise-en-scene of the video, bright flashing colourful images against the stark contrast of the black set. 
I then began collecting stock images from art and photo blog sites such as deviantart and tumblr and search sites such as Google. They provide more creative and obscure images to use than run of the mill Google images and would be more stylistic. After collecting these stock images and editing them on Photoshop as a group we took our own photos of eyes moving, blinking and looking panicked using shutter bursts. This meant we ended up with about 50 images per movement so that when put together in a sequence it created a jerky film look. I also created an animation of an abstract sequence of red and black flashing shapes for the abstract projection. After again editing these I put them into a sequence using Final Cut Pro to create small test sequences. All the images were given a tinge of red for continuity and to contrast the planned blue light to show the characters in the narrative.
