Week ten

Starting on the project

I started thinking about how I could make this project come to life. I haven't done a lot of mixed media animations before but I also wanted to try it for a different class so I took a simple video and painted over it frame by frame, then scanned it and put the frames together again. It ended up having an almost old-fashioned movie look which was exactly what I wanted to achieve.

Furthermore, I found different sources for archives of the university so I knew that it is definitely possible to use those and combine them with new footage whether these are videos or photos I take of the university myself or already existing ones. I also want to incorporate the university's social media since this is so important nowadays.

Week Eight and nine

Starting the LIVE Project

Today we got introduced to the LIVE Project. None of the proposed project briefs really caught my eye so I decided that I want to come up with my own project. Since the main theme is 185 Years of Westminster I came up with the idea of combining old and new connecting the past, present and future using mixed media, from old to new. I want to use old video footage and articles about Westminster and combine them with new things and new technology editing.

Week seven

Getting introduced to WeNetwork

We learned how important it is to connect not only with people from our studies but also with graduates and alumni from all the different courses. I signed up for the Newsletter they have and linked my LinkedIn which I also realized has a lot of improvement to be done.
