TIME MANAGEMENT!

In order to inspire myself i went out and brought a large piece of paper and created a gantt chart by hand. I have stuck it too my bedroom wall, so i can be referring to it everyday rather than loosing track of time because its hidden away in a folder on my computer. This gantt chart is more thought out and in depth compared to previous gantt charts i have created. I have broken down each section of this project that needs to be completed in order to fully engage with this brief and have allowed myself a significant amount of time on each section in order to get the brief completed by the deadline.

As this is a 7 week brief, i have allowed myself 2 weeks to research, as i will need to gain a vast amount of information both gathered by primary and secondary sources to help educate and inspire my ideas around the subject area of wealth and poverty. During these 2 weeks i plan to visit a number of exhibitions (photographic and other disciplines), look through books and magazines, conduct a questionnaire on the issues/stereotypes/opinions/discussions surrounding wealth and poverty and look at existing organizations, such as the World Photo Press that deal with and exploit photography around this subject.

During the second week of research i will be using the information and imagery i have viewed in order to formulate a variety of ideas for this brief. Using the journalistic pyramid to break down the big ideas and themes. Then development of that idea will begin in the third week there i shall be entering the realm of photography and carrying out a series of test shoots, to start visualizing my ideas and testing what works and what doesn't work. This phase will also see the development of the narrative and establish a storyboard of what i wish to contain within each frame. After establishing exactly what i want to achieve out of every photograph within the essay i will then use 5 days within week five to photograph the narrative, which may include the hiring of models, space and props.

After taking the photographs a selection process will then need to be carried out, as i'm only allowed to submit five images. Any editing/implementing or re-shooting will be carried out in week 6, then the final images need to be placed on presentation boards in the final week. I work every Sunday therefore have assigned these days to be spent updating my blog and writing up a week by week reflection and putting work into my workbook template.

Obviously this time plan could be adjusted throughout the project due to unforeseen reasons, however this will be reflected upon in my workbook.
