Started by designing and drawing out a mood board, with explaining what each term, ‘Observe, Seek and Challenge’ meant. Then got stuck on ideas, so started to draw different icons around the title such as, hearts, lighting bolts, flowers, waves, genders, even square roots, to try give me ideas.
This ended up helping as now I have an idea that I want to do which involves waves and surfing or something alone the 5 mile road which involves a surfer with his board and next to this bungalow.
My next idea involves two basketball players, one being very tall whilst the other isn’t so tall and give a documentary photoshoot of how they get ready pre-games or how they play in-game.
Another idea is to showcase the difficulties and challenges between male and female basketball and why they can’t play in the same league. Also, how different athletes get ready before the game and play during the game.
Sam Taylor-Johnson spoke about how ‘Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.’ This is showing and explaining the ‘Male gaze’ arguing that it has an indirect influence, forcing women to unconsciously ‘self-police’, their own behaviour.
Finally, I have an idea which I will go forward with, which involves using my friend who is very into basketball and plays it everyday and night. But, he gets injured a lot, so I am basing my idea for observe, seek and challenge around him and showing where he trains, (Langford/Beaulieu), where he started, (millennium park), who he plays with, (the coach, the team), his injury signs like, scars, stitches, casts, crutches.
Langford Sports Centre, which is the main place we train at and the place my Subject trains the most.
Beaulieu Sports Hall, which is where most of the games are held at and one of the main courts in Jersey.
Millennium Park, the outside court we all started playing basketball at especially my subject Bruce. It doesn’t have the skatepark in now so I will have to go take photos of it in the current time.
