I had my work experience on the date 16/08/10 for 2 weeks, it was set at Testronic Laboratories in Pinewood Studios. The purpose of the company itself is to test movies and games, but this is done by testing the movies' compatability, menu navigation and linear plays. In addition with testing a games' language and early beta and alpha versions. When I was there I got lucky with the newly installed HD 3D tv's, players and DVD's, and it didn't really matter that the 3D Alice in Wonderlands that I watched and helped with for the first week wasn't in english. In the second week it was basically the same with linear plays and a little compatibility while picking out and noting problems that may be trouble. However while I learned a new side of the media industry it will have no help with the project and no similarities. Furthermore there was also times where there was no work for me meaning some days I was sat around doing nothing.
Where my work experience had no impact on my 'Project' work, school is a different story. After talking the ideas i have formulated with digital/physical installations with Mrs Stower she gave me a final idea of a installation like Claire Mcewans but with projection of a digital nature (Swords' Patriotic Patterns). There were also two physical aspects with that, with a physical canvas to project on to or a sword to project off of, like the 1796 Cavalry Sabre I have been researching. I liked the idea but I think i need a more relevant artist to research.
