Fast Forwarding Video Preservation and Digital Engagement

该项目的目的是利用东盎格鲁电影档案馆(EAFA)在我们以前的收藏能力赠款(AH/V011952/1)中获得的视频数字化套件，积极吸引新观众，特别是青年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存我们的藏品中具有地方、国家和国际意义的有价值的、研究不足的和处于危险中的部分。我们将通过与BBC合作实现参与战略，BBC将在内容和数字输出的选择方面进行合作，并将生成的数字内容用于他们的‘BBC at 100’庆祝活动(2022年)。EAFA涵盖19世纪90年代至今的大量电影、视频和出生数字内容，对于从事一系列学科工作的学者和教育工作者来说是一个宝贵的资源。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倡议上进行合作。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的尖端数字专业知识和基础设施。2020年，EAFA成功地从Capability for Collection获得了7个视频数字化工具包的资金。这包括：-7 x FSI DM240(带有波形显示、法律水准仪和矢量镜的专业“参考”视频监视器)-7 x HP EliteDesk PC新设备，再加上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，这些工作站可以数字化各种格式，并且能够由学生志愿者操作(遵循一个简短的培训计划)。英国广播公司的节目集包括一些“面临风险”的视频格式以及电影片名。EAFA的建议是，档案馆将把一系列BBC视频和电影数字化，以及从其他有价值的EAFA收藏中精选，以满足研究和参与战略的目标。这笔赠款将为大约550小时以上的视频和电影内容的数字化提供资金。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UEA学生：将BBC和其他EAFA磁带数字化；对材料进行分类；协助为EAFA年度Mash Up电影制作比赛挑选材料；以及策划精选的BBC在线内容和现场节目。这些素材还将作为BBC成立100周年的一部分，在其旗舰在线平台《我们的故事》中供公众观看和互动。在项目结束时与档案馆志愿者和Mash Up竞赛参赛者进行的定性和定量研究将被用于制作一份开放获取报告，目标是我们咨询的主要利益相关组织(BBC、BFI、国家彩票遗产基金、INTO电影)和更广泛的遗产/银幕教育部门。这将满足他们了解数字化培训、在线管理和创造性再利用项目的价值和影响的愿望，以吸引青年受众并发展他们未来的技能。

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.
