Flying the Flag: The (Not So) Brief History of Eurovision


Brief:
Roulette

Eurovision. Recently our perception of the contest has changed thanks to a second place finish by Sam Ryder, but the last few decades have seen some rather negative viewpoints when talking about the UK's participation and how other countries view us.

This short film uses the big hits and fan favourites from throughout the years to show why Europe loves the contest and how our viewpoint may have started to change in recent times.



Roulette was a brief where we spun a wheel to select a starting phrase, mine was Command Z, and as long as the project could be connected back to this phrase, then it could be anything I wanted it to be.

The brief was set up by my 3rd Year tutor, Rhona Breeze-Lawlor, with the support of SODA Studio and The Cameron Day Charitable Trust, which was set up to celebrate design following the death of Cameron, a former student of the University of Lincoln.
