Gathering my thoughts on the use of video

As it stands, I could create the following videos:

1. Defining multimodality, where I include images of different modes as well as appropriate sound. This would be interspersed with short quotes from the literature and linked to together by my own take on this, in the form of captions. This video will take a critical approach to defining multimodal, not purely descriptive. It will appear either in the Literature Review or in the Introduction.
   
2. University crest, where I explore how multimodality has been a part of the academy. This will use stills, sound and text in the form of captions. It will include reference to Land, but also to other literature. The plan will be to show that there's a long standing tradition of multimodality, however the book has been privileged, but this now needs to be rethought and thus perhaps so should the university crest. This will be short, punchy, highly visual and end in a thought provoking way. Not sure about how to use sound in this - maybe fragments of mediaeval music (can I create this) which then adapts into digital form. Could include the sound of writing, printing press, reading. If any other the key voices - Land for instance, can be heard on podcast or recorded lecture, I could use samples of this, perhaps overlying relevant era or ambient sound. This would be within the Literature Review.
3. Multimodal campus exploration (as discussed elsewhere in detail). My current thinking is that this would be included with the literature review.
4. Summary of themes, as it suggests would collect the key conclusions drawn from the dissertation and present them in the style of my manifesto video. This would include images, sound and my own text (in succinct captions). Perhaps I would also draw key quotes from the data to sit alongside my own captions. This would be within the conclusion. 

Another possible idea - interesting and but not essential and definitely extra work - rather than listing the different technologies used in the dissertation (within the Acknowledgement), this could be in the form of a video where I have very short clips of the different technologies/spaces being used for the purpose of composition. Actually, I really quite like this and will come back to it. Rather than screen shots which aren't always that effective, it could HD video of me (well, my hands) using the stuff. There's room for a bit of humour here - maybe I also have some written or sketched note. Yes, I'll look forward to revisiting this when time allows.

Distribution: what I've proposed above would see the inclusion of video in the Literature Review, the Conclusion and the Acknowledgements sections.
