  Project, imagination, and documentation.    
 

Research Methodology

The research methodology as been created,
written, and proposed, around three key -
physical production spaces.

The kitche, the lab, and the library.

These physical space will offer opportunities for
investigation and exploration, at different
points in the project.

The description centre around the physical,
practical aspects of production, and space, to
explore research, techniques, investigation,
and enquiry into motion graphics processes -
including interviews, conversation, the digital,
physical and analogue, visual research,
and the use of libraries and archives.

The text is below, the full details, with notes
and drawings, can be found on the project
website here -

Production Space 1 - The Kitchen

Exploring the use of the kitchen as a production space.

Using, exploring, the shared activity - a shared activity of baking, as a method of
communication, sharing, and creative exchange. Creating dialogue around cooking
and food.

Exploring the culture of recipes, exchanging recipes, cultural rebirth - recipes as
rebirth, generational rebirth, and exchange.

Can these activities lead to shared experiences, dialogue, and cultural exchange?
Motion graphics and drawing as documentation, instructional, investigative and
observational drawing.

Documentation of the moment, the experience, the shared activity. Outcomes that
arise, including collaborative drawings, diagrams, maps and exchange - drawn
communication and instruction. A genuine exchange and engagement across
cultures and generations.

Kitchen objects as production tools. Exploring the visual language of baking - as a
theme, context, visual reference and research for film production and documentation.
Experiential factors - mood, feel, tone, experience of food, emotion - ways to
capture, and re-create this in time, using motion and production.


Production Space 2 - The Lab (After Vertov)

The Laboratory.

A physical, and digital workspace.
Exploring techniques and approaches to

- creative workspace.

Motion graphics production.

This part of the process is about exploring motion graphics, drawn and digital
production, and approaches to film making.

Research techniques - include experiments in motion graphics and TV production,
film-making, documentation and archiving.

The use of television as a production, and storytelling tool. * - See - Context.

Exploring the area of production where animation, narrative, and storytelling,
meets digital production. This includes the use of TV production, editing and
fast-turnaround production techniques, contemporary motion graphics material,
the use of text, typography and image making on screen.

The use of audio and sound, drawing - rhythm and pace in motion graphics, motion
graphics as drawing, production processes, kits of parts, stings, idents, and the
language of television.

For example, the use of wipes as a production editing, and storytelling tool.


Production Space 3 - The Library

Critical reflection and examination.
Academic, theoretical.

Approaches to – documentation, documenting and publishing work. Public output,
reflection and understanding.

Presenting research critically, mainstream audience (TV) outputs, publishing and
exhibition.

Final outputs.
See deliverables list for outcomes.

Reflection on themes for review, public engagement, academic community,
exhibition, submission and publication.

Reflection on outcomes, approaches, and production. Techniques, and final articles.
Observations and analysis.

In writing, motion, and visual material.
