To begin with, over the past couple of weeks we have managed to go through a lot of things, but we don’t stop at that! Today we presented a new project called Photonovel
As I understood and got this project, it's something that in the modern world in the conditions of technologizalization of social space visual images are ubiquitous. Public life is inextricably linked with the visual dimension: visual images, advertising surround us everywhere. More and more technologies and techniques are not being created. Only for broadcast, but also for fixing and storing images and video.
The genre of the photo project was defined by us like a photonovel, based on the fact that through photographs, respondents were asked to tell us about the most, in their opinion, unforgettable moments of their wedding day, arranging photos by order like a story.
Photonovel is one of the varieties of the comic book genre, which is a photographic novel in which the plot is based on a photograph, not text....
In the framework of this project, the impossibility of studying a causal relationship will be a minus of photonovel. We cannot trace why certain moments in people's stories appear more important for one group of informants and less important for another. But this minus can be finalized by conducting an additional photo interview. The photo interview method will provide additional data for analysis and interpretation - visual data and explanation the respondent himself of his worldview reactions, attitudes. Therefore, a very important part of this assignment is precisely the construction of the correct photographing, not just staged but unexpected when you can catch facial expressions and behavior. One of the biggest advantages of using the photonovel method and photo interviews is that the methods make it possible to touch upon such spheres of consciousness that are not manifested in verbal answers.
What should I do next? Just try to find very interesting story that I will be able to show as a PHOTONOVEL!
