Development...

Throughout the second feedback session we discussed little things that would make my series more interesting, for example when photographing the happy family to use very unsaturated colours although not black and white so that we can clearly see the difference between the families.

We also discussed the idea of the NSPCC poster and the majority of my peers and tutors said that they think of posters as one big image as a poster is a quick way of giving people information. my series may be more suited to an NSPCC television advert campaign. There was also a suggestion of using sound together with one of my images, I wanted to do an image of the abused child peering upon the happy family out on their way to school although this would'nt fit in with the way i allocated the doors as the open door belonged to the happy family and the closed door to the abused child and single father, instead of confusing things with the doors it was suggested that i do an image of the abused child pressing her ear against her closed door and, using sound, attach the sound of the children from the happy family coming out of their flat and walking down the stairs on their way to school.

I started off photographing the happy family, during their daily routine of getting up and ready for school. I used desaturated colours so that it left a little bit of colour which can be differentiated from the black and white (abused) images.

Instead of the images telling the whole narrative i would like the images to be like stills from a moving video.
