OF TIME AND THE CITY

Of Time And The City is a documentary that 'paints a picture' of Liverpool's history using home footage, news footage and general found footage. The images used create a brilliant sense of the place in a way that flows like poetry. As we were aiming to create a poetic piece, I took a lot of inspiration from this film. Terence Davies didn't plan the shots he used, he selected them from what was available (a lot). I wanted to take a similar approach, so I decided that we would use copyright-free archive footage along side own footage. I decided that I would shoot lots of footage when in Liverpool, mostly un-planned, so that during the editing stage, Amy, Nyle and Hannah would have lots to choose from like Terence Davies did.
