To begin our research project of the arts by the sea festival we did a very general background information study finding out the theme, the event size and the kind of performances as well as the general aim of the festival.
This allowed us to understand what the arts by the sea festival was about and how we could capture our event experience.
We decided to base our research project around a particular act in which we were all curious in spectating. this happened to be the Dick Danger show – ‘Dick Danger attempts the impossible as he steers his way through a health and safety nightmare. watch a man diving from a very high pole head first into a bucket of water.’ In order to capture the our Arts Festival experience we decided to film ourselves around the event as well as the act itself, this enabled us to pick up on the atmosphere and the energy of the event. As demonstrated in the video you can see that the event was very lively with a very happy crowd with one of our group members actually participating within the show.
After knuckling our heads together we decided to make a short video that concluded every aspect of what we were trying to show. Yaz was the designated editor and he put the video together very well and we all agreed on trying to make the video fun and enjoyable to express our experience how it was. During this project we all got to know each other very well and it has brought us together which overall was the main aim of the introduction project.
