Creative Practice

Project Proposal

Throughout the first trimester of MA Creative Practice I began work exploring culture in and around Eskdale, Scotland. This exploration took place both thematically but began to push the visual style and story telling of the project along with exploring the use of curation within work and the placement of the works both digitally and physically. I wish to use Creative Practice CRPR7002 to develop a further look at placement digitally and physically, considering career trajectories that fit within my practice, alongside polishing stylistic and working practices moving towards MA Final Project focused around culture within Eskdale.
 
To enable me to do this I would like to create
  • Series of works that are under 1 min long to be applicable to various social channels produced (1:1 & 5:4) and clip together as longer form piece for youtube placement. (16:9)
  • Works that reflect the traditional drinking culture within Eskdale by creating reportage works reflecting conversations in a local pub.
  • Works that can later connect to project as whole with subject matters and themes carrying through into MA Final Project
 
This would be supported by exploring the physical placement of work within the gallery context and it’s theoretical underpinning. As well as building on the learnings of the previous trimester pushing style and developing on reportage approach through conversational documentation and reflection.
 
Aims & objectives
  • Push visual and audio style in preparation for MA final project
  • Develop alternative research techniques that can combine with formal interviews to push practice
  • Delve more into theoretical underpinning of works to support wider practice
  • Underpin written counterparts to work so that pieces are more easily understood
  • Find an easier way to document, present and communicate working process
  • Communicate what is expressed within the realm of the pub sensitively and consideration 

​Overall I wish this project to enable me to work towards my MA Final Project alongside being applicable towards my professional skill set and career trajectory. This will be underpinned by;
  • Developing further thematic response to life within Eskdale adding a further development to overarching masters work surrounding culture within Eskdale
  • Theoretical research of post internet arts, reportage photography and documentary filmmaking to give greater foundational understanding to my practice as this would further my practice and support its growth.
  • Primary Research conducted within bar through conversations with clients and my documentation of these through exploring the use of diaries, blogs and blogging or audio recording.
  • Exploration of further editing effects and filming techniques to create specific style that is unique and distinguishable but also reflects positioning of me within industry and placement of work.
