Film photography -
As I will not be able to get film developed due to shop closure or use film acetate within college, I will be using Polaroids and exploring Polaroid photography only, using ISO 800 film I acquire with my own Polaroid camera, in which I will describe within pre production, explaining the effect the camera and film give, along with intentions behind the use in linkage to my subject context - immigration.
Photojournalism / symbolic photography -
I aim to use my garden and home space to take the photographs, including outside nature and objects I use within personal photography and objects within my house, still following the idea of symbolic photography. I also aim to explore some garden photographers within future research, as suggested with mentor Rob, such as Derek Jarman. Much of my previous photography has also been taken within my garden, already providing me with a rough idea of certain areas/ angles of interest.
Technicality -
Due to no access to the college's equipment / a Nikon camera, I will use a iPhone 11 / iPhone 7, changing the normal video setting to 4K for best quality, as shown below are the difference in settings, and difference they have had on my photography as I have practised - the first image in 720p HD and second in 4K, further taken within my garden. This being for the digital photography aspect.
Distribution -
Box -
Initially, I planned to order a glass / wooden box that would aesthetically be parallel to the other segments of the project in terms of visual pleasure with documentation of found sites /places to buy from, however due to shipping issues and technicality of going outside, I will be using a DIY box, made aesthetic using resources around me, whilst documenting the stage of progression on my blog with photographs / videos. This may include printing photographs onto the box with/ without text, and using skills I acquire from studying Textiles previously, including the use of plastic manipulation, heat transferring or painting, etc.
Book -
Continuing, I still aim to create a book using site Blurb with software Bookwright, considering I can access the software from home. Ensuring there will be minimum issues for the production stage, I have checked shipping updates for the site, in which I am still able to order / get the book produced. If shipping becomes an issue within a few weeks due to constant changes in current environment, I plan to create only a E-book version using the same software, considering this is also an option under Bookwright. I also will ensure that the aimed 18cm x 18cm book will fit into the box, alongside the Polaroids as a physical piece - embedding photographs of this onto my blogger.
- When viewing, the box may be open, Polaroids to one side, book on the other and phone in the middle - for example.
Prints -
With no access to the college printer, one in which prints A0 - A4 at a high GSM, my digital photography will be represented digitally - this being on a phone / iPhone or iPad, represented in a collection which I will be able to access offline in case of any internet issues. I will add this collection to my blogger, along with pre production planning of how many digital photos I aim to showcase finally - with the other photographs possibly being used within the book, alongside quotes from the Windrush generation - as I may have contact with them through a project called Image17, based in the area in which I attend college, and other quotes through found research. The digital photography will represent the opposite to what the Polaroids represent, this being society now - therefore digital, and how times have changed, in comparison to when immigrants / the Windrush Generation faced racial discrimination and inequality, and the link between this / when British Subjects changed to British Citizens.
