I have been sent this today for our camcorder club but as there are a lot of talented people on this forum I wondered if any of you would find this of any use when we have the meeting with them you would be welcome to come along to the club on that night. Dear Alan Taylor, Dover Camcorder Club
I am writing to you to introduce you to a project running over the next few months called Dovertime: A story made up of snapshots of your day.
Dovertime is a experimental film project run by artist Lucy Steggals (in collaboration with Dover District Council, Kent County Council and the BBC). Local people are being invited to donate photographs relating to what they do at particular times of the day.
These photographs will relate to questions such as 'What are your daily habits and rituals?' 'What do you do first thing in the morning?' 'What do you have for dinner on Fridays?' 'What time of the day/ week is most important to you?'
These will be used as inspiration to create a narrative following the day in the life of a fictional character, and may appear as stills in the film. Our aim is to involve as many people across Dover as possible to create a story in 16 short episodes, each relating to an hour of the day 7am to 11pm.
The project launches in April and will culminate in an event in the market square in September 2011 when the film will be screened on the 'Live Site' Big Screen.
We are writing to ask if your group would be interested in taking part. We are looking for groups and individuals who would like to get involved. We are also offering to attend one of your regular meetings and run a one- off creative workshop where we will be constructing images using montage and collage with donated and archive photographs that will become part of the film.
We would really love to have you involved.
