This was an exercise to get us thinking about words and ways to describe images without being too in depth. We were told to first say what we saw. It sounds easy but it was quite difficult to begin with. We were literally saying words like' Door', 'Floor' and 'Stairs'.
We then had a chat with Jason about where the image could be and this opened a new world of ideas. We suggested it could be a door in a nightclub, the floor was quite dirty and the door has seen some action. We then began to think about perspective again opening up new ideas. It could be a lost child, someone who has fallen over or simply someone trying to hide. The ajar door led us to question was someone hiding behind it or trying to escape?
This image was the basis of a similar discussion. Once we got going it was a really good exercise. There were no right or wrong answers so we were just throwing ideas together as a group and we came up with some great possibilities for the motive of the shot.
We did the exercise for several images and then came together as a larger group to discuss what we thought and every group had different things for each image which was interesting!
