See Me, Here Me - Fusing London Identities

See Me, Here Me brings together students from Brent and Southwark boroughs to create their own individual multimedia portraits. The projects challenges students to depict their cultural identities in either a visual or audio form.

Students will be encouraged to investigate their local environments, exploring colour shape form and sound. Looking at the importance of a 'Home' as a unique space and identity, students will be asked different questions. "How do I describe my home", "What is my home" and "Where is my home".

The notion of home will be stretched. Moving away from the physical space of home within a flat or a house and towards the idea of the living environment be it the roads around their flat or house, a specific area of London, London itself, England, the United Kingdom or even an area outside the UK.

The Students will be asked to depict their identities in short snapshots in either audio or visual form. The students from Southwark will produce content using Digital Video Camera. The students from Brent will produce Audio content. The two pieces will be married together to produce one identity of London.

The combined piece will be approximately 25 minutes long. The students will meet each other at the beginning of the project, but will not see each others work until the finale screening at the end of the project.

Project Structure

The film will be split into five parts. Both the audio and visual group will look at the same parts. The audio and visual from each part will be married together to produce the final film. Each part will be no longer than 5 minutes.
