Response to Tutor Report Assignment 6
This was the assignment that I found the most difficult to contextualise, however, the research journey was interesting. I was pleased with the comments from my tutor.
It was an oversight not to include history on Robin Hood which has now been rectified. Although I had included some old postcards, perhaps their position was not explicit enough. I take my tutor's point about experimentation tapering off at the end - I was also working with Assignment 5 at the same time. Ideally, I should have finished one photographic project before starting the other, but time was of the essence.
I agree that this sits better with the tourist gaze, having researched gaze and Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle". My additions to the work can be found in blue.
I had contacted Raymond Crooke for permission to use his soundtrack, but have not heard back so this will disappear from the public domain before Assessment.
