The further I got into my project I realised that I had began to digress from my main subject of choice, 3D, and had started to focus on fashion. As I did not want my project to be fashion based, I felt that my project needed something to make it more appealing and interesting. As I had started looking at Mods and Rockers and Hippies and their fashion styles, I found events that had occurred in the 1960s based on these social groups. One being the Mods and Rockers beach war of 1964 and the other being the Summer of Love in 1967. After I looked more closely into these events, I started researching other events that had taken place that had caused big social and political change. Other occurrences I researched were the assignations of JFK, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, the building of the Berlin Wall and the Vietnam War.
I then began brainstorming ways on how I could present the idea of incorporating world happenings into my final piece. I thought about positioning the figurines in my project to make them appear to be fighting like the Mods and Rockers War or protesting like the Summer of Love, however, as these events have already taken place, I didn't feel like it would fully be my own ideas and work if I portrayed them in my own way. So I carried on with the idea of creating my original ideas of a beach scene, but create a projection to go behind it of old news reels and documentaries of each event I researched.
To create this projection I used YouTube converter to download each clip I had found on the events, then using iMovie to edit them all together. This is the first edit I made of the projection. I like each of the clips and the order they go in, however, the full video is too long and needs editing further to shorten each clip.
