Evaluation of 'The University'

The initial proposal has been well considered throughout the series.

Firstly, the series, in terms of telling a narrative, was very successful. The fourth and fifth image strongly indicates an identity of the space. The beginning and the end is very clear and symbolic. Most importantly the overall sequence and flow of the series is comprehensive and well planned. However I feel that the relationship between each images are imprecise, what could have been really interesting is to emphasize on one particular object (chair) or colour (red) that appears throughout the series using light or contrast so that the images have stronger connection and meaning behind them.

Emptiness is represented strongly throughout the series, therefore allowing it to have symbolic meanings of a particular space or feeling. The concept of emptiness derives from Neil Pardington. He explains the significance of one image comes from allowing viewer’s own story to fit in it, “interest to me is the personal experience an audience brings to the act of viewing”. The emptiness here plays important role, it allows the viewers to interpret the image differently according to their own experience. I think this intention was well applied in my series.

The sixth image, I think, is quite vague in terms of conveying its intended idea.  This images was added majorly to reinforce the flow of the series.

In conlcusion the series generally fulfills my intention. The composition and sequence is quite successful but the relationship between images could be improved.
