The first assignment we've been asked to complete is entitled 'Yet to be released'.
This is a group activity, in a sequential format of telling a story with photos.
All photos must be 'open ended' in terms of a narrative style of image; they must also connect with the photo you have been sent.
Rules of play:
1. Students will get 1 day to either capture, gather or collate their own personal image.
2. Students must write a brief synopsis why they have chosen such an image and what the intention of such photograph is.
3. We must print out the image and synopsis.
4. Both print outs should be placed into the envelope, ready to hand in.
5. Each student must email the next student with ONLY the photo found/created in turn.
6. No discussion must be made throughout the procedure. (I shall make a draft post when it's my turn and publish it, once the assignment is complete)
This is a very interesting approach to creating a narrative. I like the idea that the images can be existing; yes it can take the pressure off trying to create one; but it overall, even with creating a new image, it certainly provides a knowledgeable exploration into thinking of which type of photograph is suitable to become adjacent to the previous image. It gets the gears going, makes you think.
I think this task will become very key towards working within a narrative concept.
