Script

My site specific project is based upon witch craft and how they used to be tortured. The site chosen was around Pendle hill, a place famous for witchcraft. I wanted to demonstrate how that the way the witches were tortured still goes onto today in a modern society.

I will create 5 different short films. Each of these are based on the 5 points of the pentagram. These are water, air, fire, earth and spirit.

Each of these film will be projected onto 5 different locations of Pendle hill. The 5 projections will be projected onto elements that relate to the pentagram. All of the locations are accessible via the route running through Pendleton to newchurch where on of the Pendle witches is buried.

The first location will be at the bottom of Pendle hill in Pendleton. The film is a water torture scene that is projected onto the stream.

The second location will be projected form the very top of Pendle hill. It will be projected into the air or possibly onto cloud. It can be scene from the road driving via the route described before. The type of torture that can seen on this clip is hanging which relates to the element of air.

The third projection location will be on the nick of Pendle. A bonfire or smoke screen will be set up at this location and the film will be projected onto smoke. The torture scene of this will be of burnt alive highlight the element of fire.

The forth film will be located again at the nick of Pendle. It will be projected onto a rock face showing someone getting stone to death. This will highlight the element of earth.

The final film will be located in newchurch in the grave yard of where on of the pendle witches (alice nutter) was buried. The film will be projected onto her grave showing torture of someone being buried alive. This will highlight the element of spirit.
