Digbeth Concept and Idea

Okay, so coming up with ideas for the Digbeth project. Well after going out there I came up with a number of ideas for what we could do, some good and some not so good. One idea I came up with was to show two sides of Digbeth. This idea was inspired by a few of the pictures we took. 

The concept was to show Digbeth in two different ways. The gritty, rough side of Digbeth and the new vibrant and lively side of Digbeth. What I wanted to highlight was the two contrast views of Digbeth being an old rundown district against it being a lively media hub.

I discussed this idea further with my group,and we worked on it to make it better and came up with a few more ideas, such as showing how Digbeth life is at night and day. Although we thought the best path to go with this idea was to explore the contrasting architecture in Digbeth, the old Victorian architecture in contrast to modern and contemporary architecture.

Brief Plan
 
As we progressed with this idea we now started to discuss how we would structure this it. We had an idea what we wanted to be in our film such as graphics information and narrative.

How we would attempt to do this would be like a journey, first starting outside Digbeth we would travel into Digbeth  stopping at key landmarks and reviewing them with graphics and information about the place, a narrative would be guiding the viewer through. The old historic buildings would be shown drawn sketchy Oppose to the more new modern buildings which would be done with ones and zeros  symbolising  the growth in technology or tron like with lights and effects ( however we had not yet decided). What we hope to achieve from this film, is to have highlighted the different architecture in Digbeth giving the viewer some information about the place and how it makes it unique.
