PLANNING: Write a specification that provide an interpretation and plan of how you intend to explore A Love Story. This must include at least 3 photoshoots you will be doing in the next 2-3 weeks (these could include photo-assignments). How do you want your images to look and feel like? Include visual references to artists/photographers in terms of style, approach, intentions, aesthetics concept and outcome. Remember the final outcome is a 16 page photo-zine so you will need to edit a final series of 12-16 images that sequenced together as a set forms a narrative that visualises your love story.
STORY: What is your love story?
Describe in:
- Love and insomnia.
- Love, heartbreak, self love a personal story about my best friends and how we grew apart.
- A story about a young girls relationship with two boys that have some dark moments, filled with tears, happy moments, good memories and love showing how she dealt with losing both her best friend. Stumbling through life with a smile on her face ignoring and hiding the pain.
NARRATIVE: How will you tell your story?
- Images > new photographic responses, photo-shoots recreation of moments in the story.
- Archives > old photos from family albums, iPhone
- Texts > letters, documents, poems, text messages, words with meaning.
AUDIENCE: Who is it for?
Most image makers tend to overlook the experience of the viewer. Considering who your audience is and how they may engage with your photo-zine is important factor when you are designing/ making it.
- Reflect and comment on this in your specification (age group, demographic, social/ cultural background etc.
