1 minute video

This is a bit better video that I made to show my idea:

'Sorry for the pixels' from Valda Repcyte on Vimeo.

Second Idea

This is a really rough video that I made to capture my idea:

The main idea is to show how The Bournville Village changed, to be exact, how it didn't change. Bournville has a really straight rules of what to do, build, open and even more rules of what is strictly forbidden. For example, George Cadbury's idea about not having any pubs in Bourville still exists. Even after almost 200 years  Bournville Trust tries to maintain the village as G. Cadbury imagined it to be. 

What I would like to show in the video:

• A really old picture of Bournville ( preferably black and white) whit some people and cars in it.
• Erase the cars and people clothing.
• Redraw them into 2013 cars and clothes; make the redrawn things in colour.

Research

It seems that I have done an unbelievable thing in nowadays world. I started my research by bringing home two books from our new Birmingham Central Library instead of using the Internet. One of the books has everything that you need to get to know The Bournville. It was written by Margaret A. Broomfield in 1995 and is called 'A Bournville Assortment'.

You can understand from the given contents at the beginning of the book that you will get not only the historical facts (which are very important), but some of the insight from the writers perspective too.  

The other book is by the same author - M. A. Broomfield ( and Janette Denley) and I did not found it as useful as the first one. 

The main thing written in this book is a meeting of Bournville citizens (the ones that moved away and the local ones as well) in 2001. They brought some pictures and written material from their past with them and some people wanted to have all of it in one place. That is why this book was created. Apart from containing some photographs that I could use I have not found anything else in this book.

I wont have the first book available for me all the time, that is why I made this list about where I can find the main information online:

1. The main points of Bournville History, Demography, Education, Transport, Religion.
2. George Cadbury
3. Cadbury World History
4. A bit more personal view to Cadbury's and Bournville (BBC article)
5. Cadbury's and the Quakers' vision of Utopia that built a British institution (article)
6. Bournville Village Trust
7. Bournville Ward Attractions

The Brief

Our role on this module is to negotiate a specific site, to find things that awaken our curiosity, and maintain our interest. We need to negotiate strategies for communicating our findings in a responsive way. 

The Site

Given site is the Bournville in Birmingham. We must identify what is interesting to us about this site and allow ourselves to sink into it and to share this interest through the production of new work. We will work collaboratively where it is needed and support each other by offering technical assistance and critical appraisal. Consider these broad questions as starting point:

• What is Bournville?
• What is its use?
• What is beneath its surface?
• Is it important?
• Why is it important?

For assessment we need to produce:

1. A video response to the question (2 min)
2. A printed response to the question
3. An edited blog that documents our research material 

We needs to show evidence of Extended knowledge, developed skills and critical understanding.
