Narrative: What is your story?
Describe in:
- 3 words – Occupation, Remembrance, Change
- A sentence – I am going to explore bunkers created during the occupation and try and show how they have changed since the occupation.
- A paragraphs – With this project, I am going to explore the bunkers around Jersey. With the images I collect from doing this, I am going to show how they have changed since World War 2 and the German occupation of Jersey. Through this I am going to try and show the memory of those involved within the war, whether it be through forced labour during the creation of the bunkers, or soldiers used within the war.
Design: Consider the following
- How you want your book to look and feel – I want the book to seem fairly obvious as to what it is.
- Paper and ink – Standard ink, will likely use paper that will not reflect a lot of light back.
- Format, size and orientation – It will likely be in a landscape format and I may have it quite small
- Binding and cover – Hardback book, one of the images I take I will probably use as a double page spread over the front and back cover.
- TitleĀ – “no personal memories” – may change later in the project
- Structure and architecture – Will likely structure the photobook very simply. Using similar images together and sequencing the book in a layout that works best.
- Design and layout – Going to design it in a uniformed fashion, so that it has similar images together or format them in a sequence. I will likely lay it out so images of different bunkers are separated.
- Editing and sequencing – will experiment with both black and white and colour, if I decide to use black and white, I will likely try adding high contrast to the images.
- Images and text – Images will be taken of bunkers and show erosion and what has happened to them since The Occupation. I may add text to the photobook, perhaps something to do with the equipment at some bunkers around the island.
