Historical footages categorizing system with keywords
I have looked into the the list from The Public Record
Office and Hong Kong Library. There are only a few footages about Central, so I
decided to expand the area to the whole Hong Kong. And I also decided to pick the footages from
1970-1979 to produce my video because of its significance to Hong Kong and the
media.
The footages in The Public Record Office are more like
government educational advertisements which lack of reality and human emotion. Videos from 昔日香港, 舊時香港 on facebook are included in the list and will be considered.
An excel is create to record all the footages I found both
from The Public Record Office and online sources. The items include source,
title, year, description and keywords. The footage of/ about street view and
education are my target.
Information of 1970s:

Hong Kong in the 1970s underwent many changes that shaped
its future, led for most of the decade by its longest-serving and reform-minded
Governor, Murray MacLehose. Economically, it reinvented itself from a
manufacturing base into a financial centre. The market also began leaning
toward corporations and franchises.
Under Murray MacLehose, 25th Governor of Hong Kong
(1971–82), a series of reforms improved the public services, environment,
housing, welfare, education and infrastructure of Hong Kong. MacLehose was the
longest-serving governor and, by the end of his tenure, had become one of the
most popular and well-known figures in the Crown Colony. MacLehose laid the
foundation for Hong Kong to establish itself as a global city in the 1980s and
early 1990s.
A number of MacLehose's most significant policies included:
·
Nine years of compulsory, free education for
school-aged children
·
ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption
(Hong Kong)) in 1974: eradicated corruption in public bodies, police force,
firefighters and business corporations, which led to Hong Kong being regarded
as one of the least corrupt cities during the 1990s
·
the Ten Years Housing Scheme, designed to end
squatting and slums and provide ample housing for expansion.
·
Social welfare protection: Jobseekers'
Allowance, Elderly Allowance, Disability Allowance, etc.
·
Overhaul of the healthcare system and
construction of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Queen Mary Hospital, Princess
Margaret Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital
·
Adoption of Chinese, along with English, as an
official language of British Hong Kong
·
Development of new towns, Sha Tin and Tuen Mun
·
Establishment of country parks to preserve 70%
of Hong Kong's green landmass

suppressed the protesters for political reasons and caused public discontent.
In 1973, when the Hong Kong economy began to boom, when the
stock market is generally optimistic about the time encountered a Waterloo, the
Hang Seng Index overnight fell from 1774.96 to 400.1, many investors lost a

In 1979, the Mass Transit Railway opened a new window for
Hong Kong in the 1980s by injecting more energy into Hong Kong's economy and
