Our group had so many ideas for our three minute piece, as we had so much inspiration from the reading and the previous workshops. It came to a point where we realised that we were over complicating the task, we wanted to include so much and it was getting out of hand. When we new that we needed to simplify the situation we came up with basic ideas about the sites. We decided we wanted to show what happens in a day in the high streets of Lincoln. This was a simple idea and allowed for adaption and improvements.

We wanted to experiment with the different forms of technology we could use so we came up with the idea of speeding the film up, this shows our technical skills and it became symbolic of the point we were making. The streets and the people are so busy and rushed that speeding up the filming emphasised how daily life on the high street is so chaotic. We wanted different angles and points of the high street so we shot many different sections and sped them up.

Our thoughts then turned to audio, how could we use sound to make the message come across even more. We decided that we wanted the background sounds to completely contrast to the visuals. So the music that would be playing is calm, relaxing and absolutely incongruous. After this we decided that it still needed something more, so we found a poem on the internet about Lincolnshire and made a recording of me reciting it and putting it as the background music for the ruching crowds of the high street.

The poem we chose fit our concept very well, it describes the land of Lincoln and its history it talk about a time before consumerism and technology. It is a way of showing the contrast of the city today and what it used to be like. Hopefully our piece shows that we have showed a certain amount of imagination and  technical prowess.
