Guildhall Commission | Development ~ PP

Two of the commission projects that were suggested to us were for the Guildhall Museum, and I was quite interested in both of these projects.

These projects are:

• "100 Objects that made Medway" - creative/arty/surrealist
• Historial documentary on Museum - factual/researching

"100 Objects that made Kent"

This project will be artistic and creative, and what they want is someone to film certain objects and bring them to life through sound and through the editing of the video.

This will be targeted at children and will explore the creative side of the museum.

I am quite interested in this project because I like to think I'm quite creative. It would be fun to see the objects they want filmed and come up with a fun and entertaining way to make the objects come to life. 

Historial Documentary on Museum

This project will be more factual and research based, and they want someone to document the history of the museum itself. 

I think this will also be targeted at children but it will give an insight to the history of how the Guildhall became the Guildhall.

I am also quite interested in this project as I quite like the idea of a children targeted documentary. I can experiment with voice overs and potentially having someone as a presenter, but also I can experiment with different ways in which to show the history of the museum.

An idea was mentioned very briefly to me about merging the two ideas together. This would mean that the objects and the history would all be in the same video, and this is interesting as I would be able to think outside of the box and come up with a way to tell two stories at once. 

I will be doing a Guildhall Museum commission, and when I am in contact with the person who will be guiding me through this project, we will talk about different ways to merge the two together.
