The Growth of my Digital Media Idea

As you may of noticed from a post or two ago that i wanted to work on Lincoln Castle, i wanted to create a series of photographs and record sounds around the area of the castle, as a example i created my idea around Newark Castle. On the day that we talked about how out ideas developed i was told that Newark would be more interesting to do a project on, that confused me at first because i never heard anyone telling me that Newark is interesting but however i understood the point, Many students do work on projects around Lincoln and also i liked the idea of being different. That week i went and visited the castle again to take another selection of photographs, different shots and angles. The idea of recreating the castle to what i think it looked like 900 years ago before William the conqueror destroyed it. I am in between that fine line of struggling what to add and knowing what to do. What i am planning on doing next is trying to make the castle bricks slightly more lighter, just to say and imagine that it's a new castle, also i would like to try and add parts of the castle in the windows, for example i want to look through the windows and see the other side. Also i plan on adding a gate along side the Trent and on the field that i was standing on, i am sure back in the day they would need a bit of extra space to add a few weapons. This is what i have came up within the workshop, notice that the top, trees, small bridge and colour of the wall has changed

Due to the white sky it's already a blank canvas, i could remove the little sign and the steps that lead into the river and maybe add a few trees behind the castle, i am sure back in the day there was a lot more greenery than there is now.

Due to my Grandad passing away on Wednesday afternoon, it may take a day or two for me to continue with this project, but i will try and get everything up to speed before and on the day of the 29th. That's if the funeral isn't planned on the day. 

Thoughts on the short film "The Lift"

At first I didn't really know what to think about it, I didn't know how someone could make a Documentary about a lift somewhat interesting but I did get on the wrong end of the stick with this. It's apparently it's about people taking the lift and noting down how many times they use that lift everyday, some people use it once others use it more than three times a day and something along those lines. I really have to hand it to the production team who pulled this off, this is something I couldn't do, I personally don't like taking the lift it's small, cramped and can break down at any minute I just don't like them at all. But what I found interesting was what the people had to say, some was sad, some was funny and others where strange though what i found amusing in the documentary was the lady and the drunk man in the lift he left and she turned to the camera and pull quite a funny face as she was about to say "That man was weird!" Quite a interesting documentary, something I wasn't really expecting!

My Idea For Digital Media

What I would like to do for the Digital Media project is take a series of photographs of historical architecture and also record a bit of audio of the surrounding area of the historical building, I have created a example of what I would like to do but for the main project I think searching around Lincoln would be a lot more better than adventuring around Newark just for the basic fact that Lincoln has a lot more to offer in historical value and the castle still looks like a..castle. So to demonstrate my point  here is a quick example of what I would like to do for the project.

What triggered this idea was from the last project where we all went to the Arboretum, I liked what I did but i really want to step up another level
