After completing this task I realised that there were a lot more aspects to noticing than I previously thought. Despite going out to the location my partner chose for me with an open mind, I still thought that the media I captured was quite limited and that I could have been a little more creative or a little more purposeful with what I chose to capture. That being said, though, perhaps the way I passively captured simply what was around me was a more honest way of noticing and could more effectively create a narrative or greater meaning. I have no idea.
My questions:
- How can I practice noticing in a more creative way? (Vague, I know, but I think I’m being too stagnant about what I capture)
- What different themes can I apply to my noticing to help create greater meaning through the media I collect?
- How close or how far away should I be observing things from? Is there a sort of prompt I could create for myself that would allow me to create a more coherent collection of noticing that seems to have a little more flow?
