BA(Hons) Visual Communication

L5 – Photography & Moving Image

Semester 3 – Subject in Context

Brief B


Aim: This project will engage students with the pragmatic logistics and organisational skills necessary to understand the relationship between client, image makers and the material nature of “The Fashion Portfolio”.

Objectives:

Construct creative work that employs key skills and techniques in the medium of photography & moving image

· Demonstrate understanding of photography & moving image practice in relation to audiences, clients and consumers, through practice.

· Develop a critical awareness to communicate ideas and information through the medium of photography, through practice and learning journals.

Introduce students to contextualisation of photographic & moving image scenarios.

· To engage with live competitions and briefs.



Project brief – “Fashion Portfolio”
The emphasis of this particular project is to produce a fashion portfolio in the form of a Book. The student will define a narrative structure and develop a thematic style that is coherent and consistent with contemporary practice.

It is imperative that you hone your organisation skills and build links with the appropriate people, e.g. models, make-up artists, location scouts, etc.

It is a requirement that you should define your audience before you begin this project, and that the narrative structure will form the “Theme” that drives and engenders the audience response.


Requirements –
You are required to engage and organise all aspects for a successful conclusion to this project. These will be identified in the RVJ (Digital).

The book should be printed via Lulu or Blurb.com, and be a minimum of 20 pages.
