So to make this a little easier (no sure who for us or them) we have been divided up into groups by the 1,2,3 approach! I am in group 2 and we have been given a task of making an artifact with the theme of Spectacle….. and that’s ….. it sound easy or hard depending on who you are but I am interpreting it as fun because we can view the three artifacts as separate individual pieces of work. It gives me the opportunity to see what interest me and what doesn’t they don’t even have to be fully polished so I can experiment with different techniques and not worry if I fall on my butt.
My line of interest for this particular project is the idea of personal spectacle ie, weddings or particular spectacles that affect individuals. This project is brillaintly timed as in my town every year in mid October roles in the Micklmas Fair to celebrate harvest.
I want to try and improve my skills with a camera and not only produce some excellent technical effects but also be able to produce a visual logic to my piece that is enhanced by background sound. I am thinking about using some kind of verbal narrative also as an alternative, but not sure yet. The Banbury Fair is a really important part of my year as I have never known a year without its lights, sounds and feelings. There have always been pictures of the fair dotted around different areas of the town like in pubs and in the local college so the affect of the fair is visible throughout the year.
