A colourful walk...

The title for Viscom 1_ assignment 4, is "colourful walk". 

The word colourful has 2 meanings:
  • Having much or varied colour, bright 
  • full of interest, lively
On the 25 June,  first and some second year students walked to the KZNSA Gallery from the Department. The students were asked to carry cameras, and photograph 100 images on this walk. They were to briefed to adopt a casual approach and capture 'anything' that caught their eye, quickly composing this in the frame.The students were given 2 words to act on:
"spontaneous" and "be alert"

I also took my camera and joined in. In response to the walk, my collection of images and the experience, I have made 3 movies from my photographs using Picasa. These videos are a trilogy and are are connected by the "colourful walk". They may be viewed and interpreted individually or as a group. This video trilogy also serves as an example for students on how one may integrate text and photos. These imageshave been posted on YouTube: search criteria  " colourful walk".
The trilogy is made up of: Part 1_the walk [purpose] | Part_2 photography [intention] | Part_3 images & words [poetry]... I have posted each video as a separate blog post.
