1. take a series of photographs in your neighbourhood based around the idea of lost, disappearing, ghost signs, residue etc
Think about light and shade, time of day, interesting angles, degree of contrast etc
Then add some words that the photographs evoke for you. This could be beside/under the photos. Etched or superimposed onto the photo or as a voiceover on video sequence of photographs.
2. completely unrelated exercise.
Take some moving image footage of someone doing a series of actions. There should be at least 5 shots. It doesn’t matter what they are doing – mooching around the kitchen, going to the garage to repair a bike, going to the pub with friends, making the bed, playing sport. The point is to see them in motion/action in a series of shots. Think a out how those shots will help you reveal something about that person.
