Fast Forwarding Video Preservation and Digital Engagement

该项目的目的是利用东安格利亚电影档案馆（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，积极吸引新的，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收藏中具有地方、国家和国际意义的宝贵、未得到充分研究和面临风险的部分。我们将通过与BBC合作实现参与战略，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 100”庆祝活动（2022年）。EAFA的电影，视频和数字内容的广泛收藏，涵盖了19世纪90年代到现在，是学者和教育工作者在一系列学科的宝贵资源。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计划合作。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。于2020年，EAFA成功从CapabilityforCollections获得七个视频数码化套件的资助。这包括：- 7 x FSI DM240（专业'参考'视频监视器与波形显示，法律的水平和矢量示波器）- 7 x HP EliteDesk PC's新设备，结合利奇时基校正器，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，可以对各种格式进行数字化，并能够由学生志愿者操作（经过短期培训）。英国广播公司的收藏包括一些“有风险”的视频格式以及电影片名。EAFA的建议是，该档案馆将数字化一系列BBC视频和电影，以及其他有价值的EAFA收藏的选择，以满足研究和参与战略的目标。这笔赠款将资助大约550+小时的视频和电影内容的数字化。其中一些将由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;对材料进行编目;协助选择EAFA年度混搭电影制作比赛的材料;并在现场活动中策划BBC内容的选择。这些材料也将被公众观看和互动，作为BBC成立100周年的一部分，在他们的旗舰“我们的故事”在线平台上。在项目结束时与档案志愿者和混搭比赛参赛者进行的定性和定量研究将用于制作一份开放获取报告，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。这将满足他们的愿望，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，以吸引青年观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.
