AF 105: Time Based Media

The Brief:
'...For this assignment you will be producing a TV trailer for a new series of radio programmes on Radio 4 called 'Moments in Time - Speeches', about a selection of great speeches of the 20th Century.'

The list of speeches to choose from are as follows:
  • Franklin D Roosevelt: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
  • Winston Churchill: We shall fight them on the beaches
  • Harold Macmillan: The wind of change
  • Nelson Mandela: An ideal for which I'm prepared to die
  • Jawahharal Nahru: A tryst with destiny
  • John F Kennedy: Ask not what your country can do for you
  • Martin Luther King: I have a dream
  • Margaret Thatcher: The lady's not for turning 
  • Earl Spencer: The most hunted person of the modern age
Requirements:
  • Combination of film footage, images, text and graphics.
  • Minimum of 1 minute long and maximum of 2 minutes.
  • Use text elements to emphasize important words in the speech.

So far I'm very exited to start this project because I really enjoy working with moving images and doing things like kinetic type is something I've wanted to learn for ages. I'm also very happy Churchill's speech was included in the brief as its one of my favourite speeches I've heard.
