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.
