Documentary and Archive

Documentaries and archive materials are not just from and about the ancient past. We are creating and participating in documentaries and archives all the time and perhaps never more so than in the digital age with the pervasive nature of sound and image recording and playback devices. How are we to make sense of this world and navigate this sea of information? - Jane Dickson

Asking the Questions

One of the earliest questions asked by children is ‘why?’ And this is the very question that we need to ask about moving image texts. Why is a particular camera angle chosen? Why are particular objects placed within a frame? And why are they placed where they are? Why is the camera placed in a certain position? Why does a particular character wear what they are wearing? - Ian Wall
