Similar to your previous Unit 09, this assignment requires that you demonstrate the use of a good range of different materials, techniques and processes used within the production of Photography and Art and Design. The techniques are varied and involve mixing art techniques with Photography in processes and techniques known as 'Mixed media'.
You'll need to explore and experiment with a range of different Photographic papers and films and there'll be a cost aspect to this as films are not cheap, so over the duration of this unit 4 or 5 different films are going to cost you in the region of about £40 and the specialist papers are also expensive. The total cost will be around £50 - £60 spread across the duration of the unit.
You'll be using the Pentax K1000 camera and you'll initially be shooting each other in the college using a deadpan approach. After the first week, once you've been introduced to the camera you'll need to pick someone who you're going to Photograph on a regular basis as your final set of images will need to depict your chosen person in a range of different places and situations aiming to show who that person is, what they do, where they live and what they are interested in. The final two pieces are to be produced as A3 composites made up of many images using some of the techniques you've learned during the assignment.
The research you'll be doing will give you ideas of different ways you can approach your own images. The written work will need to focus on how and why the photographers have used their materials, techniques and processes to produce their images, what impact does it have on the images and how does the use of MTP's help to convey meaning, message and narrative?
The work will be produced in the usual A3 design sheets in the way that you have been working on Unit 09. See your assignment for more details.
