GO AWAY.
BA APPLIED MEDIA TRURO COLLEGE
SUMMER EXHIBITION 2015
BA Applied Media Degree Show Catalogue 2015 Adam Hay
Trywru
Trywru, meaning ‘Three Rivers’ is one of several variations of the name given to the present day ‘Truro’ by early settlers, due to the three rivers which run through it. Now only the larger two, Allen and Kenwyn, rivers remain visible. Once confined to the triangular boundaries created by the two main rivers, Truro has grown over the centuries with each generation developing it further, and leaving its mark. This series of work follows the Allen and Kenwyn rivers from their sources to their convergence point at the tidal Truro River. The project serves not only as a topographical reference, but as an exploration of the very heart of Truro, reflecting the demands of contemporary society on a journey through rural idyll to port city.

BA Applied Media Degree Show Catalogue 2015Thomas James Baker
During a particularly stressful day at college, Geena Flolight accidentally causes trouble for a loathsome classmate, using the power of her mind alone. Realising she may possess the supernatural ability of psychokinesis, Geena becomes inspired to perfect her mental skills, using nothing but a far-fetched internet guide and a selection of junk found around her house.
As the final short film produced for his education at Truro College, ‘Geena Flolight’ is a very different effort to Thomas James Baker’s previous work. Having produced several dramas and documentary shorts, Thomas opted to create something more fantastical and humorous for his Specialist Production to diversify his range as a filmmaker. With this, he settled on a science-fiction comedy with psychokinesis and the interest people have in pseudoscience as the central theme. The subject matter also allowed Thomas to expand upon his special effects skills, using wires and other equipment to “levitate” objects, which were later digitally erased in Adobe After Effects.

Tribute
In Cornish mining, tribute is system of payment
in which groups of miners bid against each
other for contracts to work sections of the mine
for a percentage of the value of the ore raised
from that area. Graham has chosen Tribute
as an appropriate title for his educational
presentation regarding the history of Cornish
mining.
Combining still and moving images Graham has
organized five activity sessions for two classes
of Archbishop Benson school year 2 pupils to
augment their curriculum-based appreciation
of the changing local landscape.The images
exhibited are from an activity where pupils
have to match early photographs with their
present day views.

This project is going to focus on ‘Being a Girl’.
Not a woman, or female, a girl. When looking
at the word ‘girl’ it has many connotations,
denotations and stereotypes that come along
with it. But for me it’s that vulnerable in-
between stage, the transition of girl to women
that I'm interested in. I guess for me being a
girl is about that unity of the female species.
We are all similar but all so different. With
girls there are many layers and that makes us
a mystery to the other sex. Girls are complex;
they can go through so many feelings and
thoughts a day. We have crazy hormones and
mood swings especially around ‘ the time
of the month’.The best thing about being a
girl is being a girl around other girls being
girls. You feel empowered and proud. Girls
spend hours, days, months and even years
worrying about looks and how they are not
perfect. But its the imperfections that are
beautiful and that’s what I want to capture.
Girls have so many rules and regulations to
follow. Which can be frustrating. we have to
change our bodies to fit into society. I want to
capture these feelings of what its like to be a
girl today.

Human Nature
I have three passions in life; one is life itself and the environment,
two is photography, and three is from doing this degree which has
helped me realise that I love to be creative with my photography. My
exhibition last year comprised of images of multiple exposures. The
theme was paths in the woods and was done by taking ten exposures
and layering them into one image. This years exhibition is about
people and the environment-mainly wooded areas and how we feel
and think about it. I have made images of peoples head and shoulders
then layered an image of a wooded area on top, then rubbed out
around the the head and shoulders to leave a plain background. In
the plain area there will be a verse of a poem which has been written
by Claire Martin. Each verse will be added to each image. This will
consist of a set of six images, with a verse on each [email protected]

Elemental Elucidation: An exploration of language within the landscape
Who has not stood at the top of a cliff and marvelled at the raw pulling power of the wind? Who has not stood in the crisp cool
sea and felt the urgent tug of the tide between their toes? If you have not experienced this then you are to be frank missing
out a little bit on life. The exhilaration and sense explosion that can be experienced when a fragile human interacts with the
majestic supremacy of the elements is one that is not to be missed. We as a race are obsessed with curtailing the full impact
of the elements. But, what if one was to embrace those elements and run with them? Claire Martin is an artist and poet who
under her pen name Lowenna Loves has exhibited a variety of works in galleries throughout Cornwall. Her latest work Elemental
Elucidation plays with the world between literature and life.
The piece is formed by transient elements, moving, changing, oscillating between states of being. The artist as creator and
witness is the only validation for the existence of the piece, the elements creating then destroying the fragmentary lexicon.
The viewer is invited into a private audience with the artefact via a projection installation; prints of the poems are available via
direct contact with the artist, details of which can be found below.

Real Women - Bare as You Dare
Working with the concept of body realism, and in response to media
expectations on women in 2015, this project showcases that human
beauty is not a ‘one size fits all’ equation.
Women were invited into the studio to model for a series of portraits
to provide positive body inspiration to other women. The instruction
that the women were given was that the shoot was inspired by
historical classical paintings and sculptures and would showcase the
diversity of shapes, sizes and natural bodies of women without any
body enhancing image manipulation, and was as bare as they dared.

‘Keep out’ is the familiar hand made sign taped to my daughter’s bedroom doors, occasionally with
the discretionary ‘no boys allowed’.
Often referred to as the tween years, children between 9–13 years of age are straddling the fence
between childhood and choice. On the one hand, they are beginning to branch out in their lives,
looking to new horizons, taking on new responsibilities. Yet, as children, they still look to their
parents to guide them about what is right and what is wrong; they still longingly seek for approval
and support from the adults who surround them.
The awareness comes early to a tween that her room is her sacred place, a domain to be protected
by no one but herself. The room is the first territory that the girl creates for herself. The stages of her
development can be seen in the elements of bedroom design. Some girls are industrious in making
their rooms an extension of their personalities. Posters are tacked up and collages of quotes and
friends photographs are collaged. Others keep bare walls – or do they have a choice?
The attachment to the security of youth is still present in the form of stuffed animals and toys. But
lipsticks, electronic devices, make up and numerous mirrors are present in abundance.
As they look in the mirror they ask, ‘who am I?’ and ‘what will I become?’. Tweens are facing life’s
first great crossroad: the decisions they make today will last a lifetime.

Living Legacies
This project explores culture’s relationship with architecture, and how
architecture itself has shaped our culture. By photographing historical
buildings throughout Cornwall, Bath and London, it becomes apparent
that we utilise our history to fit our needs. Depicting abandoned structures
that at some point became of ‘no use’ and are allowed to deteriorate over
time, leaving them to become sad symbols of our past. Some buildings
continue to serve their original purpose, whereas others create a seat
of learning, merging cultures and histories that never met at their time
of creation. The integrity of these buildings are often built upon in order
to move with the growing demands that they must endure. Modern
features are becoming more and more apparent, developing grand, often
classical structures, into something much more, or attempting to replicate
a building’s original appearance. This photographic series demonstrates
how old and new merge into one, from the subtle to the audacious. This
makes us question why we, as a society, keep renovating and changing,
and why we cannot keep things the way they are. Are we so obsessed
with keeping up with the times that we forget about the heritage and
history we could be destroying in the process? Are we living up to the
hopes of these Living Legacies?

Unseen Cornwall represents an alternative
view of Cornwall, focusing on aspects of
the environment we tend not to associate
with the county. The photographs were
created within walking distance of popular
tourist destinations, showcasing the reality
of human presence upon living landscapes.

BA Applied Media Degree Show Catalogue 2015Josh Foley
Throughout his final year of the BA Hons
Applied Media degree, Josh has worked
on his portfolio of business-aimed
promotional material for social media.
Working with local and national companies
such as the National Trust, The Outdoor
Hub, The Cornwall Channel, Wingz Bird and
Animal Sanctuary, Hub Radio and more,
he has focused his media skills on creating
content for promoting businesses/events
and showcasing what they offer.
Josh was contacted by Imperial College
London to produce a promotional video for
their newly-formed Olympic-Weightlifting
Society. Flying up for a film shoot and back
and having to edit and produce the video in
a 24 hour period was a surreal experience
for Josh but he managed to sustain a high-
level of professional content for his client.
Something which he prides himself upon.
Josh Foley always looks for oppotunities to
work with new and existing clients and if
any wish to do so they shouldnt hesitate in
contacting him.

Asa Samuel - Spring at Trengwainton
Spring is one of the most exciting times of year and where better to see it than Trengwainton Gardens. With exotic plants
and trees that have been nurtured on 25 acres of land for generations, there is so much to see around the gardens during
the spring months. At Trengwainton spring starts early with magnolias flowering first, and rhododendrons and large waxy
foliage appearing next; there is plenty to see at all times of year, but spring is possibly the best. Thinking of springtime
conjures up many different memories for different people, but the themes are usually the same; getting back out into
nature with your family after the long winter. Spring at Trengwainton is a documentary which shows the exciting experience
on offer at the garden to get people out into the countryside in Cornwall.
Asa is an up-and-coming natural history documentary film maker who has already produced work for the National Trust as
part of his education at Truro College. As the final project for his course, Asa has chosen to continue on part of a series of
work documenting National Trust properties in Cornwall, and as Trengwainton is one of the best places to be in Spring it
was a natural choice for his next film.

Interested in the development of screenwriting, specifically the writing process for television, I try to
create productions with strong dramatical elements, accompanied with comical aspects for humourous
relief, just like some of my favourite television series. My previous productions can all be regarded
under the Sci/Fi genre, which is something that I have thoroughly enjoyed doing. However, for my most
recent project, ‘The Deal’, I have decided to experiment with a new genre.
The Deal is a story that follows the methods of two brothers that have found themselves producing
their very own homemade drug that soon becomes a highly sought-after product due to it’s substantial
quality. This soon results in a kingpin from the local drug community wanting to form a partnership
with the brothers. I have depicted the creation and distribution of the drug through montage, which
has been a new experience for me.

In 2008 Capcom released the video game ‘Street Fighter IV’
and revitalised the fighting game genre. Now that competitive
gaming tournaments give away millions of dollars in prizes,
and have hundreds of thousands of people watching live,
esports are beginning to be considered legitimate sports
and the pro players are beginning to be seen as professional
athletes. Warzone is the story of competitive fighting games in
Cornwall. Rural areas like Cornwall generally have little going on
in terms of competition when compared to larger urban areas.
James is an animator and aspiring screenwriter, whilst pursing scholarly interests in literature, media and culture. His
creative output focuses on particular questions, regarding the influence of technology and the media, on the way we
perceive, construct and negotiate with society. The stop-motion animation Shifty Ways was developed from a short poem,
building on and extending it’s symbolism. Film-poetry, in contrast to the filming of a poetry reading, seeks to use the visual
medium to add meaning to the textual interpretation, exploiting the form to make it integral to the work rather than
simply a means of dissemination. He is currently developing an original screenplay based upon the character of O’Brien
from Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. The short-film sees the Ministry of Love interrogator nearing the end of his life having
fled to California after the collapse of European Stalinist Socialism.

The Helston Skatepark Project was inspired by the lack of extreme sports facilities, and the poor conditioned of the ones we
do have in Cornwall. V3ast is a movement promoting healthy living and active lifestyles with a passion to empower youth and
engage them to build social capital. Every child deserves the right to play, and every child deserves the right to be safe. We
want to bring those two statements together. V3ast is building on the expansion we have seen in skateboarding in Cornwall.
However, despite the growth of this sport, there has been no proof of councils or communities following suit and providing
spaces for this growing culture. V3ast plans to change that.
This video helps explain the situation that local enthusiasts find themselves in, where the culture is demonised despite the
unlimited creativity they insert into skateboarding. Focusing on the creative nature of the sport and the wellbeing of youths
who actively engage in skateboarding, the film tells their stories, shares their lives and expresses their feelings in order to
help a confused population understand the need for the public support of skateboarding.
Joshua also provides other media related work and is hugely passionate about charity work or work for a cause. For more

Without competition high level play was impossible to find, but with the ability to train with others around the world via the
internet that is no longer a problem. The documentary investigates the players who challenged the norm and started the
competitive community in Cornwall, following them as they tell their story of the past seven years and give their opinion on
the future of competitive video games in Cornwall.

This contemporary approach will ensure that students are fully equipped for the media Industries of the twenty-first century. The concept of ‘360 Degree Media’ has evolved in response to the requirements of production and consumption in a media industry continually in flux. It builds on the notion of media convergence, of technological change which brings all media closer together in methods and capabilities. ‘360 Degree Media’ incorporates not only the changes brought about by the shift in new media technologies but also the interrelationship of social, cultural, industrial, commercial and promotional environments. In essence this has allowed the programme to create media practitioners who will understand the balance between their specialist knowledge and a wider awareness and understanding across media industries.

BA Applied Media | Summer Show 2015
This is a short film about the Cornish 1000cc grass track racer Jed Trewin, and his wife Marline. The film explores
what it was like to be a 1000cc grass track racer, and what it was like to be the partner of a racer. Jed won many
races, made more than a few news headlines and also became nationally well known. After many years of racing too
many breaks to his leg, after a series of crashes, led to amputation and the end of his grass track career . Not only
was Jed a talented racer he was also a talented mechanic and was able to use his skills to help raise money for Bob
Geldof’s Band Aid project. Jed went over to Sudan, Africa and worked with a team of mechanics to fix the aid trucks
that carried supplies to refugees. Unfortunately this experience turned out to be somewhat different to what Jed had
expected and he found himself with an almost impossible task. Jed and Marline continued their passion for motors as
they transferred the knowledge and skills they had gained to building their own trikes, which allows Jed and Marline
to keep on riding.
