Zoe Barrett- FMP Process Book

GETTING IDEAS TOGETHER 27/01 I had a tutorial with Gemma, I spoke about exploring the documentary route of the project and decided that it would work best with focusing on the lives of individuals and telling their stories. I also discussed how I could take the project down a more architectural route, showing how people are not linked where they live necessarily but they do find connections with young people in another place. I put the survey responses together to gather similarities between answers. I asked a variety of people to get the diverse responses, however I will need to ask a wider variety of people and perhaps put my survey on social media to get a response from people that I wouldn’t be expecting the type of answers they would have. It would aid my project in new ways I hadn’t thought of.

Moreover, I visited the Bishopsgate archives and found several books and articles all very specific to areas in London.

Although I didn’t find articles that were completely related though, so I focused on non-fiction books and pamphlets and was able to get an idea of what was happening up to 50 years ago to inform me of how London has changed since then. In addition to this, I took photos in two locations that I thought would give the contrast of London life that I needed- Shoreditch and Chelsea, East and West London. I was able to get a variation of photos, I focused taking photos of groups of young people around the area to see the contrasts.
