Today we had our briefing for our next task in the visual skills module. Were going to be doing a few weeks of research with a view to making our research into a picture book.
My theme:
I was given the choice of the themes of evolution, consumption and folklore and after much consideration I chose folklore because although I thought a lot of people might be doing int, I could put my own spin on it
Starting ideas:
At first I was going to go just with the idea of traditional folklore told in small towns like the werewolf that supposedly terrorises Beverly called Old Stinker and I still might go with this if I can find enough interesting local stories, but talking to Camilla in my class made me really excited about the idea of ghosts. This would technically still count as folklore as thats defined as a story passed down through generations of people through word of mouth. I began thinking about the large amounts of people that I know of that had some kind of ghost experience to share and wondered if it might be a good idea to ask a few more people if they had any stories to tell. Almost everyone I asked either had a story or had one from someone they knew
Field trip ideas:
My initial thoughts are that I should go to do research in York as I know its supposedly one of the UK's most haunted places and its also very historical so surely people there would have a lot of tales to tell. Tomorrow I'm going to put together a list of places to visit whilst I'm there and see if theres anyone I could speak to about their experiences.
