OUTCOME 4

This is a storyboard of images  made using a foam-board mount. The images I have used are the best compilation of images taken from the Henk Wildschut farm style shoots that I have completed.

I find that the way the images have been sequenced help to tell a very colourful and lively observation of my experience on the farm, as the images all seem to display a degree of intensity through two different features, bright colourful images, with more reflective black-and-white images.

In addition, the colour images combine with the grainy and vernacular black and white images to create a story which balances a contemporary and nostalgic feel, thus linking the cultural past of Jersey farming to the present and future. This idea is expressed most strikingly in the contrast between the dominance of colour in the Colin Roche photographs, with the more traditional sense of black-and-white in the majority of the Tom Perchard images. This links the idea that whilst cattle farming may represent the tradition and past of Jersey farming, watercress farming on the other hand represents present innovation with scope for development and progression in the future.

Thereby this storyboard draws this conflict to the viewer, a journey they are then taken on through studying the pictures in greater depth.
