Deterioration
In order to create more anticipation, I have decided to show the scale of deterioration in the disease, starting with the least life threatening then gradually getting worse as the images go on.
Quote
Robert Capa- " If your pictures aren't good enough, your not close enough"
The above quote says to me that, in terms of our circular narrative, it is acceptable to just photograph a specific thing close up inorder to put across your point as long as you are able to back it up.

Alzheimers
This video shows an elderly lady with alzheimers, inorder to remember some every day things she writes things down on a note pad. This is the sort of thing I want to look at/ photograph.
Alzheimers
The term 'dementia' describes a set of symptoms that include loss of memory, mood changes, and problems with communication and reasoning. There are many types of dementia. The most common areAlzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Dementia is progressive, which means the symptoms will gradually get worse.
The above text describes summarises what Alzheimers is about. Retrieved from the Alzheimer's website. In order to create a strong visual circular narrative story I have to know enough about the disease inroder to give an informed view to my audience.
The audience for my circular narrative is the general public and more specifically people who are interested in the disease. The story will portray a story which will show the everyday struggle and life of someone who suffers from Alzheimers.
Very briefly, I intend to produce a narrative that revoles around the use of post-it notes around the home that help a person suffering from Alzheimers to remember every day things.

15th October- Change Of Direction
From feedback with a tutor and from discussions with my peers, I have decided to use a different photograph than the orignal one I was given.
I didn't want to resort to changing my image completely however after a lengthy session of brainstorming ideas/ scenarios I have decided that this would be best for me with the limited time that I have left.
My new image is of a table with a number of post-it notes on and nothing else. The post-it notes look as if they have been moved and put back onto the pile. In terms of the table within the image, it looks either like a corporate office style table or a sideboard in an average middle class home. The use of selective depth of field makes me thing that because only the post it notes are in focus that the surroundings dont mean a great deal. I have learnt from my previous photograph to look at the image in much more detail as each part of the image can change the unfolding story.
I have thought about a story with enough substance and theory behind it and I will continue to look into this and research around this idea. It involves the use of post-it notes inorder to help someone suffering from Alzheimers or memory loss to remember certain things.
