Rationale and assignment

This project encourages you to experiment with film photography as a tool to explore narrative, responding to the theme of the Figure. You will expose, develop and print your photographic images. These outcomes will be translated into small tasks to help you form and develop a personal workbook, plus portfolio work.


Task 1
To help inform your practical work you need to research historical/contemporary photographers who explore narrative photography in their work. See list of potential contextual sources.

Task 2
Chose a theme you want to explore in your work. Think about any props you may need, camera angles and locations. Record your developing ideas.

Task 3
Using film photography produce a selection of photographs exploring your chosen theme. These can involve experimentation with various shutter speeds and need to capture your chosen narrative. Record your working processes.

Task 4
Develop your film and print the most successful photographs. Include in your workbook all examples of test strips etc and record your working processes.

Task 5
Mount the most successful photographs and produce an evaluation analysing your practice and influences.

Work needed for assessment
Sketchbook work visually recording your practical development and experimentation, analysis of your ideas and practical investigation and annotated contextual research. Final mount and evaluation.
