As part of finalising my project as a book, I have presented my idea to a group of people also studying photography, creating products such as magazines.
The feedback included ideas on making the start of the book more clear - as there are only photos representing climate change catering only for the nature aspect of the book, and indicating the idea that the character does not her society more, therefore introducing the negative side to fellowship, a lack of art, to then develop to the "positive aspects." When thought about, I found that this feedback in context of the narrative made sense, I therefore considered more photographs and free verse writing ways that would reflect issues more clearly for the beginning of the book. The complex concept on the page of the cracked photograph and "with cracks running through directions" required an explanation, as seen in the video and, I have found, from audience members asking questions. Though the concept may require me to give this explanation, it is an "abstract" and un-subtle notation, overall giving a deeper meaning requiring thought which was my main goal.
Improvement made:
(text made bigger for purposes of blogger screenshot:)
An increase in first person and difference of two photographs and word phrases have been made in response to highlighting issues the character has within her society / herself and adding clarity in the story-line for the rest of the book.
"A continental drift" with the photograph of an individual placed beside it indicates the division in 'culture,' along with the 'memories are drowned' and photograph of a rose indicating heartbreak under 'fellowship' along with the use of first person. Reflecting on this, I feel I could make either the photograph or piece of writing more universally relatable, for example by portraying the concept of missing someone - this still being fellowship, though allowing further audiences to relate to missing a close friend, someone they have lost, etc. However, clarifying the memories idea, I have written this from personal experience therefore feel this has deeper meaning behind it. The text is a development from a page I wanted to include previously within the book -
