The New Idea

Right, so time to put onto paper what I kinda have in mind now, just to help illustrate where I'm thinking of heading with it.

I'm basically taking the extra idea I had of a tablet revealing Sheffield how it USED to look years and years ago, and making it into some sort of narrative video. At this point, I'm not quite sure how it will run shot for shot exactly, but here's a few illustrations to help explain it so far...

So the idea would be for an app or tablet of some kind, named after the event itself...

The video I would make would show the app in action, at key locations around Sheffield...


We would follow our user around as they checked out the life and times of years past through the tablet lense itself...

And the novelty of the whole idea would be the crossfaded images of the old Sheffield sights transitioning with the new, via the tablet...

Now the whole idea kinda hangs on just what resources I can find exactly, ie: which photos and images from the past I can come across, hence why the storyboard is brief at this point, as it's these old images I must take my visual cue from. I could have the best idea in the world about filming in one certain location, but if I can't find the old photographic resources for it, then it simply can't be done.

The next step then is to start assembling a strong selection of possible photographs, then I can start looking at just where I want to film, and hopefully get some strong ideas about what I want to achieve in my video.
