A step closer
Standing in the Oxford street HMV store yesterday i began to think of putting together a soundtrack for my movie project. But first things first......about the movie....
For the past week i've been brainstorming idea's about my movie project. I have decided on the layout of it. It will be split into 3 sections, much like a feature film. Beginning, middle and end. In this case the beginning shall be of the past of E&C. I'm not sure how far back i will go...possibly to the 16th century when it was recorded that Katherine of Aragon landed in the area to be married to King Henry 8th's older brother. Her coat of arms carried an elephant and a castle....one possible reason for the name of the area today, the other that E&C was named after a pub - but where would a public house get that name? So i shall just take it for granted that the area is named after a spanish princess....which gives it a slight romantic, renaissance feel. After a visit to HMV i came out with among other things the soundtrack to the film 'Kill Bill Vol 2' which includes a lot of spanish/latin music so i may indeed use a track off there.
From the 16th century i shall move forward to the Georgian era. There is a lot of regency buildings in the back streets of E&C. I visited the place where my parents live 2 weekends ago and spent the day in Cheltenham. A town which had its heyday and major expansion during the regency era due to it's spa waters (which have now dried up!). Wandering around reminded me of some of the architecture that is hidden away in E&C. I have some old drawings of the area from this same time period so these may well be included.
Most of the Victorian architecture has gone but there may be a few gems hidden around. But i may dispence with the victorian architecture altogether if i'm going to keep with a romatic theme.
I will include photographs of the 20th century, especially the war era's.
The present will be photographs i've taken. Not sure whether i will keep a romantic feel for that due to having lived here i can't help but noticed that the area is run down and general opinion being that E&C needs a lot of money and work poured into it.
Future - will include plans/sketches for the regeneration. No idea what music will overlap that yet.
