From my original proposal I had said:

I would research and explore how industrial resistance is represented.
Within that role of culture, women, is creativity a solitary process?
Additionally - What is history and what is memory?

Site of production:
47 & its relevance today. With a collective or more traditional

New media
Ability to research some information online
How is New Media being used and not being used?
How can it and has it helped and hindered?
Does it democratise through its potential or is that on a level playing field?
Do interviews at a more costly method - Transcribe.
Begin to share information on 47 Facebook, Rooftop Collective, At events, With people

Research - What Am I researching the method I am using? Film and photography and way I am using it? And or the content of the practical project which is a method of looking, examining and considering this work.
Method - film - Audio Visual, distribution key issue and personal challenge.
Why Film? Will new media allow for wider audiences? E.gs of happening but also limited, e.g.
Within Classes - Editing & Montage Plus
What audience and how will an audience be engaged?

Previous proposal suggested:
public and content analysis, social institution, media fx knowlege = experimental?
All four combined time consuming but are in some ways in process with this project.
Previous opinions, content of past archives and mainstream knowledge, fx - ? If I tell you something new or ask you a question how does that develop or engage you?

What - Representing Resistance: Performing Resistance (second part added via DR)
Industrial - This has now changed and developed to wider to encompass political. Why, not just industrial struggles, industrial struggles come from political choices and ideas.

Who I want to involve?
Women - Female co-director/producer
Interviewees: Cathy, Karen, Tina, Felecity (plus Tony A & Harry S)

Who has done this type of work before and currently:

• Cinema action? woman who made work beaver?
  
• Black filmakers collective - John A - also did recent work on memory but also made key work Handsworth songs.
• Past womens cultural resistance - do I need to identify this. Woolfe, Plath, Kollanti? Dialectical approach to ideas - economic and feelings (proposal pg 7)
  

Interview them or find secondary data on these?

REAL WORLD CONTEXT Wider political:
My involvements BECTU, UNITe, NSSN, student... influencing factors to what information I hold and have access to but also

SELF dircted learning:
Requested and attended modules - skills and theory
DSA - Bad to work alone and be a reading based MA, learning about self
Learning through use of blogs, read back, hold info, share possibility,
Meetings - James and V
Tutorials

I learn by doing so what have I learnt so far:
To ask,
To explore
To be open
To use you words that now don't just hurt me mentally they have a physical pain.. and rsi creeps back onto the platform and effects centre stage.

Am I researching the project or the methods and theories around tghe product?
