*FINAL COURSEWORK BRIEF* - REVISED !

*FINAL COURSEWORK BRIEF*
This is the format your coursework will take:
Brief:
You have been asked to submit a Multimedia based proposal to the Derry City Council outlining possible redevelopment of the Fort George site (in preparation for London 2012).
Your proposal must be innovative and creative, and address the following key considerations:-

• Economically Sustainable (the development must generate revenue / help the local economy)
• Be Environmentally Friendly (use Green Energy where possible etc)
• Promote local culture
• Have 21st Century transportation links

Part 1) New Urban Transport System (N.U.T.S !?!)
*GROUP PROJECT*
In groups of 3/4, you must work with others in the class to:-
Research Urban Transport systems from around the world-- LUAS, Subway, Metro, T Line, Chicago suspended train?, Japanese Skinkansen, Eurotunnel etc-

Agree on an appropriate form of 21st Century Urban transportation for Derry (cross border links)
Compile a possible route map with possible stops / stations etc (2D Graphic)
Design & Create a prototype 3D Model of the transportation 'carriage' ie. what would people sit in? (3D Model)
Demonstrate a series of screenshots showing various aspects of the carriage / station. (2D Graphics)
Produce a 2-3 minute movie on DVD demonstrating all these aspects (Group Project)

You must show evidence of communication and contribution to the group.

Part 2) INDIVIDUAL LAND REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

You must create 2D storyboard designs for your Fort George Redevelopment idea.

You must produce a 2 - 3 minute Movie using iMovie:
The movie should showcase your idea and explain how this would fulfil each of the Key Considerations identified in the original project brief (above)

- Animated Video Walkthrough of your 3D Building(s)--> so you have to create your 3D model, then make a video showcasing it.
- 2D Graphics / Slides--> Showing your 3D model superimposed on the actual current landscape.
- Edited audio including music and voice narration.

Each group will produce 1 DVD with all their group's work on it e.g.

Our DVD Main Menu
- Student 1 Movie
- Student 2 Movie
- Student 3 Movie
- Student 4 Movie
- Group Movie (Transportation System)

Your DVD has an intended audience of Derry City Councillors, so should be presented as professionally as possible.

A panel of parents, students and local business figures will judge the DVDs at an evening Exhibition (Date To Be Confirmed) with awards being made for the best work produced.

*Your A3 Portfolio Folder will show evidence and explanations of how you used Multimedia software to satisfy the Project Brief*.

Thank Crunchie it's Friday!

You must use this class to update your blog.
You should:

• describe the work you have completed this week.
• evaluate the work you did over Halloween.
• write about how you intend managing your time to get this Coursework completed by Christmas.

HW: Continue updating the Mod10WriteupTemplate.doc document on the datapool.

You better not be wasting your time!

The lack of blog posts made by you yesterday indicates to me a lack of effort.
You are expected to use your time today PRODUCTIVELY to catch up on the work due up to this point (read recent posts).
Remember - this whole project must be completed by Christmas, which does not leave a great deal of time.
Now WORK !

Today you will...

In Class:

You SHOULD have completed 3 prototype designs for your Final 3D Model of the Fort George Redevelopment using the template provided over Halloween.
You must now take a screenshot or scan in each of these sketches and upload as individual posts to your blog.
You should accompany each of these with 200 word explanation on how the idea would fulfil the criteria identified in your project brief:
http://scc-appliedict.blogspot.com/2007/09/final-coursework-brief.html

Homework:
Using a source OTHER THAN THE INTERNET (hint: Library, 'Living' supplements from newspapers etc), you must collect 3 examples of innovative building structures that you could use as inspiration for your own Fort George Redevelopment.
These could be images of buildings highlighting the construction materials used, concrete, glass etc.
One of these should highlight the use of 'green energy' in some way.
You must collect these examples for your portfolio, so photocopy them in the library / scan in etc
