Brief description:
The application will be a map-based historical interactive tour of the area, which provides small videos about the buildings and their history. The content that will consist of this will be film clips, archive photographs, and further information about each place.
The application will include the historical tour of four buildings in the Lace Market. These are The Broadway, St. Mary’s Church, the Galleries of Justice and the Adams Building. Each of these four places of interest will have a 2-minute clip telling the user about the place e.g. History, architecture etc. These will also be an option to browse through images of the past from that place with other archive material to support it. All clips will be shot in a DV format. Alongside these four videos will be a 4-minute inital video clip giving the user a brief overview of the Lace Market without going into too much detail. All of these video will be backed by a voiceover. We already have in place a series of voiceovers for our chosen places of interest and we will use these only if permission is gained from the owner. If permission is not granted, we will write the voice-overs ourselves. So far, I have done research on the history of the Lace Market and have dug up some useful documents and information from the local studies library of Nottingham. As this material cannot be taken out on loan from the library, getting all the information can be time-consuming as it needs to be photocopied. I still have some archive material to collect. I will get it from the Nottingham Archives, some images from a website called www.picturethepast.org.uk, and I may also use the Nottingham Evening Post.
The Lace Market Today:

On completion of the application, it will be available for people to view online.
The proposal and treatment has been written for this project, and I am now in the process of editing my voice-over clips to be played over my videos. Another student Abdul Seedat is working with me, and we have defined roles. I will complete two videos and he will complete two. The 4-minute initial video will be done together. I visited the Lace Market several times over the Christmas holidays to gain a structure and formation of different shots for the treatment that I wrote up.
