Reflecting after Assignment Five

I have just had my Skype call with my tutor following on from submitting Assignment 5 and I can say that it was a very positive conversation.
My tutor seemed impressed with the volume of work in my final project and that the volume and commitment is a major part of the work itself. He thinks that the diary aspect works really well and that it really works as a digital project. We need to think about how it would be presented and that it should really be screen based, maybe focussing on it's own blog/website. We talked about Wordpress, which I have used before and would be happy to use for this project alone.

One thing that my tutor did point out was that the project didn't really connect with the title. I need to focus more on the time aspect, as I talk a lot about trying to portray the element of time through the project. But the photos are still showing family surrounding me and close relationships between my subjects so family could be in there. Maybe around time being split or shared.
He said maybe we could look at Sally Mann's Immediate Family  or on Modern Family and play on this in some way.
After thinking about the sharing and time and family aspects, I thought about maybe "A Family Moment" or just "Family Moments". I will run these by him.

My main concern is how I am to present this for assessment. As a digital project, I was wondering how to send this project in for the assessment process when you can't completely submit digitally for Level 3 courses. My tutor confirmed this was an interesting point and that he will speak to a few people at OCA to see how we can work around this. But after discussing it over, we said we could always send in a selection of prints from the project, but they would need to be small and possible screen sized to correspond with the project itself.

I am happy with that. I will look into possibly being able to print screen sized images as iPhone screens are more of a 6x3in(?) sizing. I would also have to print out selected pages of text to accompany them too. But we will see what my tutor comes back with once he has spoken to the relevant people.

I am really proud of myself and this project. It was towards the end of last summer that I changed tutor's and had a meltdown to my (now) tutor as I had no idea where to go with my work. I now understand how work can be derived from something that you feel passionate about. The work is personal and indicative of my own experiences. It's a part of me and every family member who is present in this work. It's a 7 month slice of time in our lives and will serve as an archive in years to come to reflect back on. I have achieved what I set out to do, to show the viewer how devices can take over, if you let them. And how relationships can be affected, again, if you let them. I wanted to assure people that it's not just happening in their homes, it's happening in mine too and I hope that people can relate to not just the project but to me and my own life, and possibly millions more. And I think that through this work, I have achieved that. It will be interesting to see how it is received by the public and I am eager to progress to the next step of getting my work seen.
