Narrative workshop

To start off the day in David's workshop, we first completed a task to do with cropping images. The aim was to choose 9 images and then, working in groups, crop them to produce different effects, for example cropping to enhance the emotional impact, cropping to define etc.

We then had to work individually to produce two narrative sequences consisting of three images found in the newspaper we had to bring along with us. I found this quite hard, as my chosen newspaper 'The Times' didn't have a lot of choice concerning suitable images. However, I think that my narrative sequence did fulfill the brief and looks quite successful.

The final task of the day, was in my opinion the best part of the workshop. We had to cut out all the images, headings and sub-headings left in our newspapers and then apply the headings randomly to selected pictures, giving different meanings to the images. After everyone stuck them up on the wall, it was fun to see what everyone had come up with, and evident that humour was the most popular thing considered whilst making the collages.

These were two of my preferred outcomes from the final task of the workshop.
