STORY: What is your migrant community story, for the St. Helier shoot?
Describe in:

– 3 words, A migrant community.
– A sentence, St Helier Jersey’s migrant community featuring workers and cars.
– A paragraph, This shoot represents the working people of St Helier, and their belongings, such as cars and houses. It also displays key features of the town itself.

NARRATIVE: How will you tell your story?

These are some common examples that people use to tell a story:

– Images > new photographic responses, photo-shoots
– Archives > images from SJ photo-archive, family album, mobile
– Texts > letters, documents, poems, text messages

However, I will only use images I’ve taken. This is because I feel that they tell their own story, as I’ve arranged them into a sequence which allows there to be a flow which guides the viewer through the images and tells a story.

AUDIENCE: Who is it for?

My zine will be aimed at anyone who lives in Jersey, but most specifically, St Helier. Plus, It also helps if they are 14+ as they would understand the images in more depth and detail, making it more impactful for them.

However, most image makers tend to overlook the experience of the viewer. Considering who their audience is and how they may engage with your photo-zine is important factor when they are designing/ making it.

SEQUENCING THE CONTENT – 20 images

I decided not the include any images from the archive as I have taken images which juxtapose each other. Such as, the old blue Morris Minor and the red GTI Golf. This helps tell a story and emphasise differences or similarities between the cars. I will also include other methods such as “zooming out” to create similar effects.

THEME OR STORY

The front cover will be made from a zoomed in image from one of the car photos, as it is one of the main themes.

The start of the zine will contain images related to mechanics and cars. Some of images of the cars will juxtapose each other. New vs Old. The 2 images of the old car images will be full paged on the first 2 pages, as they are major establishing shots.

Near the start of the zine there will be a double page spread images of a new, modern car, which symbolise the new technology and the way forward.

There will be a 2 page spread of just street art, both the images will be full page, and both include vibrant colours, which adds a lot of colour into the project.

For the shots of the people, I will start off with 4 multiple shots one one page, of 2 street photos, then 2 full body shots, then transition into head shots and images of peoples faces.

At the end I plan for there to be images of the actual town, such as the pigeon shot, and the scaffolding and the staircase in the Jersey Museum.

I have arranged it so some images juxtapose each other and zoom into each other, creating a smooth transition between images. Most of my best images will be full page as you see a lot of detail when its bigger.
