Word to image

Case study - 2000 words
Oral presentation

Things to consider:

E.g. Identification
Word play/use of language
Imagery
Themes
Ideas (foregrounding, defamiliarisation)
Satire?

What do you know about the poet/writer/artist?

How does this affect your response to the poem/song/story? (if at all)

Can you identify any underlying theme or meaning that might be drawn
from the text?

How might this affect the way you illustrate it?

---

A case study is specific
An essay is a small body of work.
A dissertation is bringing your research out.

Dissertation has chapters. Essay doesn't have all that.

Avoid footnotes. Footnotes don't fit in. So what are they used for?
Steer clear. Use the harvard system, then you won't need footnotes.

Key words when researching. Write in own words. Practice.

Only use quotations sparingly and in a balanced way. They can't be
marked as your own words.

Temporary suspension critical judgement

Get the Sh*t out!

First paragraph and ending needs to grab attention. Leave them with
something.

Leave the introduction and conclusion until last!

"you can't introduce someone you that you don't know" James. Quote of
the day!

The essay should be written in a logical order. Not from top to
bottom. Don't work in a straight line. Work in more than one direction.

Tip: work in sperate sections and write in chunks.

Write a plan. Planning is essential so it doesn't get wooly. The plan
doesn't have to be hugely detailed.

Start making a plan.

Monday evening group sesh

Monday evening – Group (Me, Hels, Faz, Brian)

Citizen photography – the difference between amateur photographers and professionals is very subtle. Photographers have to produce the best possible quality in order to justify a great difference in pay.

Eg. An Accountant can make 30 grand a year extra on top of his full-time job just on istock photo

There is a level of ignorance that the public have. What causes this? Is this caused by the level of secrecy that photographers have? Is this changing now?

Consequences of digitisation –

There's a huge difference to fashion. No difference in time to Landscapes.

It has speeded up.

There is an expectation from the consumer/public to charge less because film isn't being used.

Compare how film and digital photographers charge, and how they used to charge for things.

There is a potential for photographers to earn less (and do more work) due to digitalisation.

Control over our images. Why have photographers taken on all the extra digital work. Is photography more precious than it used to be?

We have to find an extra mile of quality. Are we getting this extra quality by having full control over our images. We have reclaimed the processing treatment of our images.

Why are we stopping to use labs?

Money?

Quality?

We (togs) have effectively lost control of the process.

Have we gained or lost control?

Film photography is our own unique ball game now! The public have dumped film for digital.

When using film now, there is more consideration. There are lots of little reasons why shooting on film is more considered than digital.

We treat film photographs as more precious because we've put more work in.

 

 

 

 

Scrutiny of photographers rights

Orphan works legislation

Legislation has not yet passed in the US.

Photographers rights is an ongoing thing. Model releases are

Software allowing greater image control

Workflow has been speeded up

You have much more creative control

HDR

We have the opportunity to make a photograph into an illustration or a graphic.

What is the implication for over manipulation?

These were debates during the 18^th century

Henry Peach Robinson – Debates during the pictorial movement (1860's 1870's maybe even 80's)

When does a photograph stop being a photograph?

Some of the debates are very new to photography, but some are as old as the practice itself.

Photography is screen based rather than print based

We don't see prints!

The style of images that have more 'thumbnail impact' are graphical images.

People run away with technology. They get giddy, and run with it.

"Painting is dead" The print is dead?

How do these technologies differ from precious photography practice?

50's movie industry

The internet

How is all of what we've talked about relevant to me?

How the internet affects culture. Is culture affecting the internet, or is the internet affecting culture?

I think it is a bit of both.

Set up an email group between the 4 of us, and share ideas out. Ask for help.

Abstract due next week.
