FMP Ideas

Personal narrative is a narrative relating to personal experience which is usually told in first person. It usually refers to a story from someones life or experiences. Narrative in photography is being able to tell a story that has meaning but may not explore the meaning directly. There are many different ideas that can be explored through personal narrative these include:

A experience of something you’ve made

Starting a job

A dangerous experience you may have faced

A time you may have helped someone

Protests

Emotions

Families

Day in the life

What kinda narrative do you want to develop?

I want to develop the narrative of emotions and to help show how the subjects present themselves in different ways based on the mood they’re feeling.

What style of photographic will you investigate and approach?

I will explore shooting in both black and white and colour to help convey different emotions and moods with a set colour for example having making an image black and white to help show sadness. I will also explore using portraiture.

What is the context of your idea? What genre/ conventions of photographic medium will you be exploring?

The context of my idea is to be able to document and convey emotions with the use of portraiture and still life images. I will explore both colour and black and white photography as well as portraiture as an attempt to show the emotions of the subjects and to also set the mood to help develop further the emotions that people may feel and to also audiences to gain a deeper insight to it.

The type of things i will be exploring in the photos is Happiness, Sadness, Isolation, Silly mood, Emotions with friendship.
