For my documentary I have been looking at the following information as evidence.
I have attached a link to a document called: who care’s about the White Working Class?
I also have the following photographs as a start to the documentary:
Photograph one is of a local football match, I also have photos of supporters.


Photograph two is a landscape that evidences the geographical detachment that communities like this one experiences.


For this documentary I am looking to tell the story in a way that surprises the reader. I want to challenge their assumptions and prejudices. I have been playing with different HTML and flash galleries to se what effect I can get. I will also rely heavily on my tutor for support.

I have just made a prototype website in my lessons at CCB.

Using notes from each lesson as follows:

• I have created a folder for my site images.
• In DW I have created my page
• I create my template in Photoshop
• I make slices.
• I export the slices
• Phil has given me a hand with making a LOGO.
• I shape and edit my main images
• I export as PNG making sure that the size of images are sufficiently reduced.
• I then import to light room

The website now site in the profile area of my blog.

Blog 1: initial thoughts

I have set up this blog with the intention of recording my progress in year two of my studies.
There is quite a lot to achieve in the next three months and at the moment this blog seems like a good idea in terms of clarifying and evaluating my goals and efforts. Over the next three months I will be developing a portfolio, website, and contacts from local businesses as well as attending classes and fulfilling assignments.

There are two assignments to complete;

a professional website

a documentary

I have no idea what the final result will be.
