Fast Forwarding Video Preservation and Digital Engagement

该项目的目的是利用东安格利亚电影资料馆（EAFA）在我们之前的收藏能力拨款（AH/V011952/1）中获得的视频数字化套件，积极吸引新观众，特别是年轻观众参与基于收藏的研究和数字参与。这些活动将利用和保护我们的藏品中有价值的、研究不足的和处于危险中的部分，这些部分对当地、国家和国际都有重要意义。我们将通过与BBC的合作伙伴关系来实现参与战略，BBC将在内容选择和数字输出方面进行合作，并将生成的数字内容用于其“BBC百年庆典”（2022年）。EAFA收藏了从19世纪90年代至今的大量电影、视频和原生数字内容，是各学科学者和教育工作者的宝贵资源。EAFA是一个蓬勃发展的研究中心，在一系列资助的研究项目和教育活动上进行合作。这些项目反映了我们在业余电影制作和地区电视（BBC East / ITV-Anglia）方面的优势，也反映了EAFA尖端的数字专业知识和基础设施。2020年，EAFA成功地从收藏能力获得了7个视频数字化工具包的资金。这包括：- 7 x FSI DM240（专业的“参考”视频监视器，具有波形显示，合法电平和矢量镜）- 7 x HP EliteDesk PC的新设备，结合Leitch时基校正器，Vrecord（开源视频数字化软件）和Blackmagic视频采集卡组成了七个视频数字化工作站，可以数字化各种格式，并能够由学生志愿者操作（以下是一个简短的培训计划）。英国广播公司的藏品包括一些“危险”的视频格式和电影名称。EAFA的建议是，档案馆将把一系列BBC的视频和电影与EAFA其他有价值的藏品一起数字化，以满足研究和参与战略的目标。这笔拨款将资助大约550多个小时的视频和电影内容的数字化。其中一些工作将由EAFA的技术团队承担，但我们也将培训一小群东英吉利大学的学生：将BBC和其他EAFA磁带数字化；整理资料；协助为EAFA每年举办的“Mash up”电影制作比赛挑选素材；并在网上策划精选的BBC内容，并在现场活动中编排。这些材料也将在BBC的旗舰在线平台“我们的故事”上被公众观看和互动，作为BBC成立100周年的一部分。在项目结束时，与档案志愿者和Mash Up竞赛参赛者一起进行的定性和定量研究将用于制作一份开放获取的报告，该报告针对我们咨询的主要利益相关者组织（BBC， BFI，国家彩票遗产基金，INTO电影）和更广泛的遗产/屏幕教育部门。这将满足他们了解数字化培训、在线策展和创意再利用项目的价值和影响的愿望，以吸引青年受众并培养他们的未来技能。

The aim of this project is to utilise the video digitisation suites that the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) acquired in our previous Capability for Collections grant (AH/V011952/1) to actively engage new and, particularly, youth audiences in collections-based research and digital engagement. These activities will make use of and preserve valuable, under-studied and at-risk parts of our collections that are of local, national and international significance. We will achieve the engagement strategies through partnership with the BBC who will collaborate on the selection of content and the digital outputs, and make use of the generated digital content for their 'BBC at 100' celebrations (2022). EAFA's extensive collections of film, video and born-digital content, covering the 1890s to the present, are a valuable resource for academics and educators working across a range of disciplines. EAFA is a thriving research centre, collaborating on a range of funded research projects and educational initiatives. These projects reflect the strengths of our collections in amateur filmmaking and regional television (BBC East / ITV-Anglia), but also EAFA's cutting-edge digital expertise and infrastructure. In 2020, EAFA was successful in securing funding for seven video digitisation kits from Capability for Collections. This consisted of: - 7 x FSI DM240 (professional 'reference' video monitor with waveform displays, legal levels and vectorscopes)- 7 x HP EliteDesk PC'sThe new equipment, in combination with Leitch Timebase Correctors, Vrecord (open source video digitisation software) and Blackmagic video capture cards make up seven video digitisation workstations that can digitise a wide range of formats and are able to be operated by student volunteers (following a short training programme). The BBC collection includes a number of 'at-risk' video formats as well as film titles. EAFA's proposal is that the archive will digitise a range of BBC videos and films alongside selections from other valuable EAFA collections to meet the objectives of the research and engagement strategies. This grant will fund digitisation of approximately 550+ hours of video and film content. Some of this will be undertaken by the technical team in EAFA but we will also train a small group of UEA students to: digitise BBC and other EAFA tapes; to catalogue the material; to assist in selecting material for EAFA's annual Mash up filmmaking competition; and curating a selection of BBC content online and programmed at a live event. The material will also be viewed and interacted with by the public as part of the BBC's 100th Anniversary, within their flagship 'Story of Us' online platform. The qualitative and quantitative research undertaken at the end of the project with the archive volunteers and Mash Up competition entrants will be used to produce an open-access report aimed at key stakeholder organisations we consulted (BBC, BFI, National Lottery Heritage Fund, INTO Film) and the wider heritage / screen education sectors. This will address their desires to understand the values and impacts of digitisation training, online curation and creative reuse projects for engaging youth audiences and developing their future skills.
