Digital Video Skills: Outcome 1.

What research did you do:
I searched Google for information on the Regimental Museum. I couldn't find anything useful initially, however I managed to find information on the Argyll & Sutherland Rangers through the Stirling Council website. We also watched some Documentaries and read a few things about making documentaries.

Documentary makers that we researched:
Anthony Q Artis - Website. The author of "The Shut up and Shoot Documentary Guide." We read parts of this.
Morgan Spurlock - The man behind 'Super Size Me.' Wrote, directed, produced and starred in the film. Link.

Give 3 examples of display and/or storage methods for Digital Video:
Display:

• Monitor
• Television
• Projector

Storage:

• Tape
• Memory Card
• Disk

Describe the process for creation and use of digital video sequences by three artist/designers:
These people have a vision for a final output. They have to plan out what they are going to do and how they are going to achieve their objectives. Their work will eventually be shown to an audience via a selected medium.

Describe, step by step, the process that you went through to produce your Digital Video clip and how it is to be displayed/stored.
We have to research our topic. Then storyboard/plan how the film will be made. When it comes to making the film, whose job is it to do what. Perform the tasks that you set out. Edit everything together, output the finished result and evaluate. My 'group' film will be edited into the final class film and this will be put onto a DVD disk.

April overview.

Throughout the month of April, we:

• Started Monoprint in the Art & Design class on Mondays.

• In Brian's class, we did some research on Stirling Castle, took some photos that were on the drive and made a slideshow.

• Thursday's class consisted of finishing off our non-fiction tv show and prepared for our Stirling Castle trip. (Scripts etc.)
• 
  
• We had a two-week holiday.
  

Script.

The Regimental Museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders details their eventful history from 1794 to the present.

Its wonderful artefacts, ranging from:

• the magnificent regimental silverware to
• flasks bearing bullet-holes,
• from medals for heroism
• to poignant letters home,

bear eloquent testimony to the Argylls' glorious history, and show why the regiment evokes such pride in the town.

Their connection with Stirling is as alive today as it has ever been.

Since 1881, Stirling Castle has been the "home" of the legendary Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a regiment with an illustrious history of heroism and selfless dedication from the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

The regiment is fiercely proud of its links with Stirling, as the town is of its own regiment. Many of the almost 7,000 officers and men who laid down their lives for their country in the Great War were "Sons of the Rock".

Since the Second World War the regiment has seen more active service than any other Scottish regiment, further enhancing its unsurpassed reputation for professionalism, whether in combat or in support of a civil power.

Project 4

Project 4 is a documentary about the historic Stirling Castle.

We will be making a video showcasing the historic beauty of the castle, with most of the class planning to do a bit of presenting.

My job is to present a segment about the castle museum, more specifically the regimental museum.

I will be writing a script for a 2-3 minute piece that I will use on the day of filming.

We are scheduled to visit the castle on Thursday 29th April, and we need to get all filming done on that day, and everything else can be done afterwords.
