  Alan Steadman (2013) hensed the idea of behind the scenes content and the difficulties of shooting particular subjects. It was mentioned that being "Invisible" was a key element of shooting behind the scenes for any content whether its film or game, You don't want or need to distract the people you observe of working as much as possible and even with different angles. 

Alan Steadman (2013) once again notifies that what is too little or too much of B-Roll? There isn't a solid answer depicting the subject matter of the content. Some areas fall short especially with audio cover, You need footage for when interviews which are described as the "Bread and Butter" of behind the scenes videos to cover over to give emphasis on which is been discussed. 

 Tihomir Lazarov (2017) believes to shoot as much as you can for B-Roll, it's simply a camera behind a camera or in a game's case, a cutscene within a game creation. As a editor, it should be a goal of reach to achieve lots of footage to scramble what can be found for what to work with. It's never the case where too much is never little nor more but always the right amount. 

Riley Hooper (2012) gives in depth description of equipment, motive and styles of which can keep you invisible from the process captured in BTS. It's all about strategic structure and placement of yourself and what is meant to be captured in frame and positioned appropriately.

Annotated Bibliographies 

1916: The Easter Rising - Tim Pat Coogan's adaptation of the process of the Easter Rising is short but definitive. Detailing the early progression of struggle between Catholic and Protestant relations regarding peace and war, and most of all.... Freedom. Tim dives into IRA's past mostly in the first half of his tales, giving information on a doomed agreement between parties with constant back stabbing of all those involved. Tim vows that "those whom do not learn from history are doomed to relive it."

Tim then goes on to signify a play by W.B.Yeats "Cathleen Ni Houlihan" based on the 1798 Rebellion similar to 1916. They aren't as so different as both revolve the same resolve for Ireland and it's prospects. Tim compares the two rebellions heavily with resemblance noticed between them. 

As you read on this objectified piece from Tim, He focuses more on the catholic side and what they seeked out during the troubled times for Ireland and how it could have been dealt with better or avoided. 

On Another Man's Wound - Ernie O'Malley's Book written and published by 1936, descriptively details the lives of Irish people during the Rising, Whether they were an IRA Soldier or a ongoing farm worker just trying to make their living throughout this event. This read is significantly large in context and detail covering multiple stories and views of religions, race, class of living, and political views also. 

It is stunning to read and acknowledge the grief and horror of what that age of people had to endure through those terrible times and struggles to gain what Ireland has today; Independence. Ernie brings us along the travels throughout Ireland and not just Dublin as the Easter Rising affected the whole country. 

Little do most people know but Ken Roach (English Film Director) based a majority of his detail in one of the most notable Irish films ever; "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" from this book which is rich with detail.  

The Road to Irish Freedom, Ep 3: Ernie O'Malley - On Another Man's Wound

Blood Upon The Rose - Novel/Graphic Novel by Gerry Hunt is a tale of the beginning of the Rebellion turned theatrical play is about Joseph Plunkett's love relations before he was sentenced to hang for what he stood for along with the other leaders of the rising. The Novel also covers the preparations of the beginning of the rebellion during the Rising and also covers the other executions carried out with the other leaders. 

Title and some of the novel is influenced by Joseph Plunkett's poem with a similar name "I see his blood upon the rose."

1916 Easter Rising; The Irish Rebellion - produced by Coco Television and narrated by the well known irish actor Liam Neeson; This documentary was produced for RTE for Easter 2016 to mark a remembrance of the Easter Rising with it's 100th year Anniversary. 

With an abundance of archival footage for the narration and storytelling of Irish people's lives throughout the rising and the leaders whom lost the battle for freedom but won the moral heart of the globe for support for their case against English Rule. International Experts cover the historic event as well as cover the Irish Americans roles during the rising, They attempt to convince the audience that this event was responsible for countless attempts of similar justice throughout the world involving freedom of colonisation including India. 

This hour long spectacle to watch would be recommended if you haven't covered your history about Ireland, considering the occasion of which it was created, it certainly complements the subject matter of which is discussed in detail and with appreciation from experts alike in the history field of work. 

Poetry - The 1916 rising has inspired great creations of poetry from iconic poets like W.B.Yeats, Patrick Pearse, Liam Mac Grabban & Thomas McDonagh. In terms of storytelling I believe to capture the emotion and self thought of the easter rising, you would have to witness the beautiful poetry of which was created for it. 

Most popular Easter Rising poems 

Reviews are covered of each poem on the website also discussing and questioning the flaws of the people involved of the creation of the rising, some poets good friends of some of those people and some poets are those involved in pulling the strings in the disastrous event. 

Multimedia Project Research

A New Beginning 

For Multimedia Development 2, I am part of the big group project involved in our year. We will build a game based around a child's journey through the 1916 rising. We'll explore locations, people, situations and some controversial events that occured during that time period in Dublin based through a child's perspective.

Some of those members may not be going forward with the group but those are the initial members. 

My role is to assist Ian Maher on promoting the game through advertising the game that has acute skills like video editing and filming. We are to have our first meeting on Monday, 4th of February to discuss more on our roles and goals for this year.  

I mentioned it earlier we as a team have yet to discuss what direction we will take it but I would like to advertise behind the scenes stuff too to show progress and to see the hard work is worth checking out the product. I'd like to create something like this to promote the game.
