At the moment we are ...

At the moment we have started the storyboards and finished the planning work, now we are going to film, edit and evaluate. There is still quite a lot to do but I think we will be able to finish it.

We have found a documentary on TV which is now on BBC player which is in the similar style that we are looking at but a slightly different story:

It is a story based on fatherhood using archive footage and images.

rough structual ideas for filming

Start with old footage. Start telling stories of him of when he was younger then go into interview with maybe a few pictures of his old home. All of what we are going to do has been wrote up into a storyboard format. We are also going to do a voice over of Biyan's voice to narrate peices of her dad's stories.

Interview

We are starting to plan out who we are going to interview and what the interview will include. Here are some rough questions that we might use in our interview:
  • What is your perception of the word 'home'?
  • Who are in your memories when you were younger?
  • Where are your favourite memories held?
  • What memories come to mind when you say the word home?
  • How has the area been reflective on the careers you've had?
  • Do these memories of your past career appear when you say home or do you try not to picture them?
  • Why did you choose Cornwall as your home or why did you stay in Cornwall?
  • Can you tell us a shortened version about the Bosnian girl you gave a home?

Targets I set for today

Here are the targets I set for myself:

  • I need to start working out question for what we could ask graham.
  • Also maybe start putting a storyboard together.

Places

Here are the places that we would like to find footage and imagery of:
  • Marazion / long rock beach
  • Zennon cliff path
  • Morab road
  • Queens street
  • Penzance town







We have linked this picture to google maps so we can show you a clearer image and get a better perspective of what we are trying to show or where we are trying to show in the perspective of what we are trying to talk about.

Tate St.Ives

We went to the Tate St.Ives on Tuesday. We found out all sorts of information like the listed below:
1) The Tate St.Ives are the only national museum in a rural context in the UK

2)Their definition of the Wider community they work with is the whole of Cornwall.

3)Most visitors go to Tate St.Ives in the spring and summer.

4) The department of for culture funds the Tate.

5) There are 4 Tates.

The storage site for Tate St.Ives are held in North London.

7) The Barbara hetworth museum was set up on 1979

8) The current Tate building was built in 1993

9) Patrick Heron made the stained glass window which is permanently exhibited in the Tate

10) There are 3 exhibitions held at the Tate every year

11) The Tate is shut 2 weeks between each exhibition to put all the new exhibition objects up. This is called the 'going dark' period.

12) the aim of Tate St.Ives is to bring international art to Cornwall.

13) The building was designed like it is to reflect on the town of st.Ives.

14) They create a new What's On Guide every exhibition they held.

15) They plan two years in advance for their exhibitions they hold.

16) There are 4 activities going on at the same time on Super Sundays.
I found it quite interesting. I think the woman did talk to long and I felt she didn't tell us the information we wanted to know. For example she didn't say much about what work is being exhibited or cultures of the work or the actual Tate Gallery itself.
