Robert  Birze  The  way  this  photograph  is  presented  emphasis  how  Robert  Birze  wanted  the  viewer  to  perceive  the  image.  It  is  very  different  and  crea've  underlining  the  movement  in  the  image.  The  final  out  come  has  been  put  together  by  using  mul'ple  separate  images  of  a  woman  siEng  at  a  restaurant  doing  different  things.  The  outcome  clearly  expresses  the  movement  people  make  with  everything  they  do  I  think  this  is  the  message  Robert  Birze  is  trying  to  impact  on  the  reader  to  be  aware  of  how  much  you  do  in  so  liHle  'me  and  how  others  perceive  your  movement.  On  first  glimpse  I  interpreted  this  photograph  as  a  big  jumble  of  images  from  the  same  seEng  with  no  clear  meaning.  But  when  I  examined  it  and  looked  closer,  I  saw  how  they  all  fiHed  together  almost  telling  a  story.  A  story  of  the  woman’s  ou'ng  to  a  café  in  which  she  sits  pours  coffee,  takes  a  phone  call,  talks  to  a  waiter  with  extreme  detail  of  facial  expression  and  body  language.  Going  from  calm  to  possibly  anxious.  As  she  starts  with  the  sunglasses  on  her  face  and  they  end  up  off  and  in  her  hand.  I  think  this  a  very  crea've  and  successful  way  of  telling  a  story  through  a  photo.  AOer  further  thought  I  also  wondered  whether  the  photographer  had  more  meaning  behind  the  photograph  that  being  the  expression  of  how  much  people  do  without  realising.

Evalua'on  of  group  joiner  Crea'ng  the  group  joiner  was  a  challenge  in  itself,  but  crea'vely  gra'fying  as  everyone  in  the  group  were  used  to  working  independently  and  working  at  different  speeds  and  were  s'll  unsure  how  the  task  was  to  be  carried  out.  Although  our  group  was  not  able  to  see  examples  of  other  ar'st  joiners,  we  s'll  had  an  idea  and  all  contributed  to  get  it  going.  This  was  challenging  but  beneficial  to  us  all  as  photographers  as  it  allowed  us  to  push  our  crea've  boundaries  and  teamwork  past  our  comfort  zone  by  going  ahead  with  the  project  and  planning  as  we  went  along.    Overall,  I  would  say  that  I’m  pleased  with  the  jointer  and  the  photos  produced  by  the  group  as  the  abstract  effect  s'll  illustrates  our  idea  and  the  connec'on  to  our  chosen  ar'st  Robert  Birze.  On  the  other  hand,  I  believe  we  could  have  done  a  beHer  job  as  one  individual  had  not  contributed  to  the  task  as  much  as  the  others  so  the  final  joiner  was  leO  looking  a  liHle  ‘incomplete’.  Therefore  on  a  whole,  a  lot  of  compromising  and  improvisa'on  had  to  be  done  which  again  was  rather  beneficial  for  us  as  we  were  able  to  push  our  crea'vity  further.    I  think  using  Robert  Bizare  as  an  inspira'on  was  very  helpful  because  in  his  photos,  there  are  also  pictures  of  the  same  thing  but  the  placement  differen'ates  the  image  from  another.  Even  though  the  joiner  may  s'll  look  abstract,  I  think  it  would  had  made  more  sense  and  would  have  been  more  effec've  as  a  whole  with  the  added  detail  from  the  missing  photographs.  I  would  also  have  liked  to  take  more  'me  in  choosing  the  subject  we  were  photographing  as  maybe  something  slightly  more  aesthe'cally  pleasing  would  have  been  more  more  fun  to  use.

Individual  Joiner

Evalua'on  of  individual  joiner  Crea'ng  the  individual  joiner  was  crea'vely  fun  an  rela'vely  easier  than  the  group  joiner  because  I  was  able  to  make  all  the  decisions  myself  and  also  create  the  joiner  myself.  I’m  very  pleased  with  the  outcome  because  I  believe  that  I  carried  out  the  task  as  instructed  and  also  illustrates  the  joining  of  many  photos  to  make  one.  I  also  believe  that  the  composi'on  of  the  photo  as  well,  as  some  of  the  photos  are  overlapping,  it  gives  the  image  an  abstract  look  yet  s'll  looks  like  what  it’s  supposed  to  be.    I  thought  it  was  an  easier  task  than  doing  the  group  joiner    and  I  infact  received  more  crea've  sa'sfac'on  crea'ng  this  on  my  own,  as  opposed  to  the  group  joiner.  I  think  this  is  because  as  I  was  allowed  to  only  express  my  views  on  this  image  and  it’s  composi'on,  shoo'ng,  object  to  shoot  etc.  it  made  it  more  enjoyable  for  me  to  shoot  and  work  with.  However,  I  did  s'll  enjoy  doing  the  group  joiner  as  crea've  boundaries  were  pushed  –  I  s'll  did  enjoy  this  more.    To  make  the  picture  abit  more  aesthe'cally  pleasing  and  interes'ng,  I  could  have  experimented  more  by  changing  the  zoom  of  the  different  photos  to  create  a  more  abstract  picture.  This  sort  of  experimenta'on  would  have  added  a  lot  more  detail  to  the  photo  aswell.  I  would  have  also  played  with  the  angles  of  the  photos  and  how  I  placed  them  aswell.
