This document contains research on existing web series and initial ideas for a new web series on World War 2 reenacting. It summarizes three existing web series videos that could provide inspiration: a promotional video for a WWII reenacting group aimed at recruitment, a cycling tutorial on bunny hopping barriers, and a nature documentary featuring still shots of the outdoors. It also analyzes common cinematic techniques across the three videos and provides initial ideas for interviews with reenactors or kit reviews comparing uniforms and weapons. A mood board and shot list are included to plan visual elements.
Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.

The video I’ve used as part of my research is a promotional video
for a reenacting group. The cinematography works in a similar way
to a short documentary.
Context – The group want to look cool to recruit more people to join
them. They want the hobby to sound fun and they want to prove
that they’re not just a small, obscure group of reenactors.

This video is a short, five minute tutorial on how to bunny hop on a
bike. It’s filmed (presumably) in a public park and features a few
props such as a bike and a fence. There are scenic shots of flowers
and cycling. A ground level shot is used to show small logs laying on
the ground as a transition between scenes. There’s music, sounds of
the bike and wind and a person talking to the camera.

Editor's Notes
Look at different types of content, design elements, the subject and context.
Type of content- studio/location photography, articles, reviews, adverts, sketches, drawings and other artwork
Design – colour schemes, photography and images, text/picture ratio, font choices
Subject and context – What subject(s) is the fanzine covering? What is the writing style? What is the mode of address? In what context was the fanzine produced? Context is the environment in which something was produced. Think about the time this was made.

Think about a subject you could write about, a design style could work in and why you would want to do it.
Think about content. What different visual and written elements would you include?
Initial ideas can be documented in any way that you would like. Mind maps are ok, but they don’t work for everyone. If you prefer to simply write your idea, do that. If you want to combine text and images, do that. As long as you communicate a potential idea, the method is up to you. Present you idea and also some justification for your choices. You can link this back to your research.
