OUIL405- Visual Narrative- Crit Response

I found the crit really useful, not so much in the way of new ideas, but more confirmation and refinement of the ideas I already had for my project. The group seemed interested in my images and my idea in general, with the main point of feedback that I needed to go back to Scarborough and take more pictures, focussing on the images I would want to illustrate in the final book.

A mistake I made in the previous briefs was that I focussed too much on the idea behind the image, rather than the craft of the image, something I want to avoid doing for this brief. I think I'm pretty set on what I want to do for the brief. It just needs refining and the right images need collecting.

I want to focus my book on the journey through the coastline; and specifically things that people usually notice, but are mostly overlooked; arcade signs, old run down buildings, and small 'tacky shops' that people usually don't really consider part of the landscape. Possibly looking at the relationship between these exaggerated buildings next to the ordinary buildings next to them. This is something I need to experiment with in the coming weeks.

So my next step is to revisit Scarborough and collect the images that I would want to use for my final product.
