PROJECT TITLE: Real False Memory

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This is a writing project designed for groups of three. It looks at how information can be overlaid upon images to change your perspective on them. It compares our own personal stories for places as well as those that are created through history.

1. The first part of this project is to work together to choose a place in your area that has a significance for one of you, a place that you have a memory attached to.

2. Together, go and document this place. This can mean taking some photographs of the area, making some sketches of it or even collecting some objects that represent it, such as a newspaper clipping, or using pictures from the internet. You can keep gathering more images from different perspectives throughout the project.

3. The person who chose this place, must then write down the story that relates to it. This is the 'anecdotal' memory of the picture. You should try to write around 400 to 800 words.

4. The second part of your project is to find the real history of this image. So, one person must go and find out a piece of general knowledge about the place. It can be a simple piece of information, or something more complex. For example, if your picture shows a shop you could go into the shop and ask the people there to tell you about when it first opened, who owns it, or any piece of information you can gather. If the picture shows a park, you might be able to find out when that was planned and opened. If the picture shows something general like a post box or a bin, maybe you could find out something about these objects. Write a short passage (400 to 800 words) describing the real history of the place.

5. The next part of the project is to make a fictional story for the picture. This is to be done by the last project member. They must make up a short story (400 to 800 words) to fit the image, completely from imagination, and write this down.

6. As a group, record these three pieces of writing on an audio recorder. You can read them yourselves or ask someone else to voice them.

If a recorder is not available, make up the texts you have written using a word processing or design software.

7. Now take the images you gathered of the place you chose.

You can either present these images as an exhibition or slideshow with your texts accompanying them. Or, using simple video editing software you can assemble these images into a short stop motion video. Place the soundfiles over this video.

8. Post the final movie on Youtube, and link it to the NOISE website!
