Test 1

What I need to Include ?

I am creating video out of stills and audio using the process of a memory from the photograph to the finished watercolour.

Below i have a list of what i think should be included in my piece:

Stills

• The Photograph
• The first image of the blank canvas
• water added 
• template 
• the outline 
• starting add paint
• more paint 
• nearly finished 
• Finished 
• Mounted 
• Displayed 

Audio 

• Why have you chosen photograph ?
• What do you remember about this place (Hollingworth Lake)?
• Do you like painting ?
• What do you think about your painting?

here is my first video edit i think the audio needs improving as there is some background noise of patients and visitors. I think having a sound recorder will produce a better quality sound with less background noise distracting the flow of the piece. I think the images used a appropriate and fit with the piece and give a visual aid to what is being said. But the photograph That is the stimulus for the painting is the best quality so i might re photography the place to the quality level the same. Also i think adding a summary of what the technique is at the beginning narrated by my grandma would help the audience understand better what is going on. 

Here is My first video edit.

Feedback:

After feedback the video i created was more of step by step guide of what the technique is it does show the process of memory from a photographic form to a painting form which is what i set out to create. However it doesn't explain and show does this technique aid memory recognition ?. after peer and tutor feedback i have decided to interview my grandma who teaches this technique to these patients to get her understanding an take on does the is technique help aid memory.

I think now my piece has changed slightly from a dementia patient point of view to a teacher's prospective. Also this video could be used to promote the late john Whyman MBE technique for other activity organiser to use to help the terminal ill. The Alzheimer'Society and The Dementia Institute i think could be interested in this technique as it is proven that a creative approach can help Dementia Patient reconnect. Also this Piece is also not showing the process of memory from a photographic form to a watercolour form it is also preserving and showcasing the late John Whyman's Memory therefore this piece is showing to types of memory which are the memory for the cretor and the process of a single memory.



i have created questions for her to answer that are linked to the core subject of the process of memory. I wanted this to be conversational interview rather than formal interview.

Here are the questions :

what do you do with these indviduals and why ?

how do you see the John Whyman technique can aid memories ?

why using a photograph important ? 
how is painting helping to recall memories 

does this process help the patient remember the photograph?

ask question  relating to the template and the use of watercolour



I am still keeping the stills but i need to add in a few more to show the process of the technique. Here is the images i am putting into my piece and have also added a title page to my piece created from from templates used in to make the watercolour and the final watercolour painting. the title font is brush print font to complete the painting in the video.

Here are the stills i am using to accompany my audio narration. 


Storyboard of stills
