Ben Manning: Experimental Film - Relative Work (Poppy)

I have been looking into things that a lot of people can agree is physiologically 'creepy' and see the effects it has on people and see how they react when watching something of this calibre. There is a popular girl who is internet famous for standing out for odd reasons by the name of Poppy. Her videos consist of her just explaining random things she is doing but uses very uncomfortable angles, getting very close to the camera at times whilst talking in a soft but sinister voice. There have been lots of speculation with poppy's videos regarding if there is a hidden meaning behind all of them, if she is really as strange as her character portrays or if she is just a hired actress and the whole this is just a scheme to creep people out. I knew what my opinion of Poppy was but I decided to look further into if other people see her how I do and if so, how they felt about her videos. I found a video of a series of children watching her videos and reacting to them and as I expected, even children find her awkwardly disturbing which wasn't really a surprise. I really like the production of her videos though, how she is always just in a blank room and everything about Poppy is very light and pure; She has white hair, pale skin, light coloured clothes, along with a white background. The background is exactly what I want in my film but I may have to settle for something a little less production-wise.
