Documentary fact and fiction hangout Student led 18.6.20
There were 5 of us at this meeting. We talked again about assessment and learning objectives. We also discussed the new OCA learning portal which I must look at. I was able to share my developing work for assignment 2.
I sent 8 images of my work to the shared google drive for discussion:
- It was thought the strongest image is Hollywood bowl.
- In my rejects the Aquadrome picture was thought to be strong, and the barriers lack of people and cars are enough to show that it is closed.
- I was reminded that for digital assessment not al of the work is presented so I could if I liked just present I image, in fact it was suggested that I decide now on my top 3 images.
- As for the scarring, we discussed how might incorporate it, as I talked about it but haven’t done it; by overlaying scars on the images?
- Yes it might be interesting to see how these images compare to new ones taken when these premises have opened again, if they do.
Overall it has made me think about being very brutal on editing the images and to test out how things look if I incorporate scars into the set. I am still concerned as to whether the work will tick the conceptual box in the brief but I know that I want to present some of these images in some way.
