Documentary - Week 2

Parkinson building
I showed Ava and Tessa the Parkinson building as they didn't know it was actually a big library. My brother works as librarian there so I thought it would be a he'd good resource. Unfortunately, on the day we went we couldn't find him. I had to let Ava and Tessa wonder because I had a dyslexia support tutorial to attend. I think they got lost.

Contacting the national history museums
Our secondary research led us to the national history museum in oxford and London. to start our primary research I contacted these museums to request information on Annings. Unfortunately I didn't get a response in time for the presentations.

Presentations
Because we failed to get much primary research in time for the presentations we had to rely on secondary sauce material. However, I was able to identify i number of letters that Annings wrote to other palaeontologists at the time. This became one of our main focuses within the presentation. In addition to this I was also tasked with creating mock up sketches and colour pallets of potential  backgrounds. Ave wanted a "crunchy" or grainy look with a mostly sepia colour pallet.
