For this project it was split up into two parts, one was to construct a questionnaire
of a minimum of 10 questions and to then take the results of the questionnaire and
to respond to the responses to our questions. When thinking of the best way to
respond I dabbled with the idea of doing a still life set up of various items
which linked into the responses, however this proved difficult when faced with
the response regarding when I made my brother run into a wall and break his
nose, so I felt that I should move onto a more practical approach.
I decided that I would take my images while talking and asking the people my questions, therefore capturing their reactions to reminiscing or even them in mid sentence, this made my outcomes more relaxed and a better response to the brief. However these images alone felt very bland and boring, so I felt that perhaps adding text and another image alongside each photoset that they would stand better together, however when in the final crit, there were mixed feeling that the text was necessary some said that the text killed the emotions in the images whereas some people felt that the text added a commercial/documentary feel to the images.
Part two was to pick an object in our lives which has high importance to you and has a story connected to it, we had to let the object tell the story with not much work attached to it.
For my object I chose my eye mask, something which I rely on almost daily due to my migraines, I took one image of the mask and edited it two ways on facebook. One I increased the brightness (to show that during a migraine all light even the tiniest trickle can make it worse) and the other I decreased the brightness (to show that complete darkness is what the eyemask gives me and how vital that is), however in both images I made sure that the eye mask itself stayed the same level in each one. So for this part i had a series of 3 images, one bright, one normal and one dark. During the crit the main point which was brought across was the lack of the main story and how my ideas were not very developed which is something that I shall take forward to the next project.
