From The Home Front

May 31, 2016 · by saradonaghey

FROM THE HOMEFRONT thumbnailCreated by Rhiannon Duff, Poppy Smith, Katie Hay and Pari Sastri Slackhasone.

A transmedia project integrating second year student projects told by fictional journalist Thomas Holloway; he was sent to New Zealand to document the Home Front stories.

Students created a blog to gain a sense of life during this period. Pick up your copy of the printed magazine (or click on the image) From The Home Front to read more interpretative stories.

“The two rules for our class [for creating a] world narrative were to have a South Pacific link and to integrate another group’s idea to your own story. We aimed to have these rules met by creating a character, Thomas Holloway… a journalist… at the time of the War.  [This gave us] the opportunity for the stories within our stories to be your stories. This project was not only challenging but also equally rewarding, teaching us strengths and skills that we will be able to apply later on in future industry jobs. We learnt to work collectively as a group under pressure and how to work around others …”

The White Feather Movement

December 13, 2014 · by saradonaghey

Created by Shannon Clout, Lauren Periam and Briar Ingledew.

A blog record of the research and creative process exploring the theme of the White Feather Movement. This campaign was used to recruit men unwilling to enlist in the War.

“The White Feather Movement was a clever instrument of propaganda during World War One, it allowed men in power to manipulate and use women as puppets in recruitment and placed them in the firing line back home.”

New Zealand War Art

December 13, 2014 · by saradonaghey

War Art thumbnailCreated by Shani Helsby, Larissa Jenkins, Ben Gurney and Luke Gu.

This team created a mock exhibition catalogue for New Zealand First World War artists – George Edmund Butler, Nugent Hermann Welch and Horace Moore-Jones.

“Our group felt by bringing three different art styles and various positions and times over the war [period] together, it would give the audience a greater, deeper and more detailed experience of World War One.”

Fredpedia

December 12, 2014 · by saradonaghey

Created by Skye Collinson.

This blog documents one student’s research process and discovery as she explored the active service of her great grandfather Frederick George Collinson. The timeline illustrates significant aspects of his war experiences and tells his story between enlisting in 1916 and discharge in 1919.

“A timeline was chosen because it is an effective tool for [the story to be]…illuminated throughout a time period. The particular images used in this timeline are a great supplement to the information in the text as they aide in visualising the history.”
