For my week 6 workshop, I had an online meeting with Karl and Ruth to further discuss the idea that I had initially pitched for my project.
This meeting benefited me as the questions they asked me helped further my understanding of what story I want to tell in my project and how this can come across in my photos.
As it is about the people that volunteer and help keep a non-league club running, Ruth had a good idea that I want to implement in my project if I can and that is finding a way of showing their passion through my photos. I have started to think of various ways I could potentially do this with things such as crowd shots.
Potentially going to a Tuesday night game or a Saturday away could be good also as this would show case the most die hard supporters that follow the team home and away as well as during the week despite them working etc.
The only problem with the Tuesday night game idea would be the lighting for obvious reasons but I could perhaps try to take a few just to see what the end result would be.
That is also something Karl and Ruth mentioned to me in the meeting. To go to some games soon and try to take practice photos. This will benefit me as it will ensure the photos I use in my final project aren’t the first ones that I have taken. Furthermore, going to multiple games gives me more photo opportunities so there is not the pressure of getting 8-12 photos in one afternoon.
I plan to do this by attending Farsley’s home this Saturday as long as I don’t have to go and do a filming session for my dissertation.
