Conclusion Of The Project

Once finishing this project I realised that our group was lacking in communication which led us unable to visit the site as a team. We all kind of split and started to work individually but still around the same subject. I also realised that if we were to actually carry out the project it wouldn't be very reliable as there was no safe place to put the cameras or to guarantee we'd even retrieve any photographs from it. With this in mind it would jeopardise the whole idea.

If I were to do this again I would maybe work amongst a smaller group of up to 3 as it would be easier to communicate between each other, I would also use a different idea and arrange various pre-visits to the site to see if the idea was practical and would be successfully carried out.

WEEK 3

Finalising Plans

Our Idea;
Our group came up with the idea to place a number of disposable cameras in two separate locations, and leave them there for a day/night, where members of the public will have the chance to use the cameras to take images of anything they want in that area. There will be signs next to the cameras to give the public an insight on the project and what has to be carried out, also there will have to be regular monitoring on the cameras from members of the group, incase they become damaged or unable to produce images. It will be very interesting to see the differences in the images taken, as we have chosen two very opposite locations. Clifton being a very middle to high class area in Bristol, with busy shops and cafe's, to businesses and a University. Whereas The Bear Pit, although still thought to be very well-known in the Bristol area, has a lot more middle to low class residents in and around it. With it being a large underpass from Stokes Croft to the Broadmead city centre, there is rarely a time where its not busy which can also become a place many people avoid during weekend nights as there are many intoxicated and homeless people passing through there and even sleeping in the small tunnels. I think this idea of the project will be very successful in showing the contrast within the areas and how much variety places in Bristol have.
We planned that once we have gone through with the project and seen the pictures we have got, we want to display some of them within the 2 locations for example in a shop window.

• Where we are going: Stokes Croft, The Bearpit, Bristol & Clifton, Bristol.
• Travel: Walking as the Bear Pit is walking distance from where I live, but also Bus travel may be needed to reach parts of Clifton.
• Identified risks in the risk assessment require a change in our initial plans? The risks identified in our risk assessment require no change to our initial plans as they have been carefully thought through.
•  What we are going to look at while we're there: I will look at where we may want to place the disposable cameras, the average amount of people around the area at the times I visit them and the area in general to be able to have a bigger knowledge and understanding of our chosen areas.
• How we will record our findings: I will record my findings by taking photographs as I travel around the areas, so I am able to look back on what i have taken from the visits and also take notes.
