Cart before the horse

I know I should have written this list before I went out taking pictures but I wanted to see what kind of pictures I could take so when Alan Vian agreed to be the subject I thought I had better strike whilst the iron was hot.  I've now had a chance to think through what I need for the publication and have come up with the following list:


Storyboard

I've also put together a storyboard for the images I will need and scanned the (badly) hand drawn sketches for a basic idea of what I'm looking for.



Very rough sketches I know (drawing is not one of my strong points), but it gives me some ideas to ponder on.

I can also think through the layouts of each page from the pictures that I've picked out top use.I think I'm working towards 3 double pages, or A3 layouts, as suggested in the brief.

All pictures taken

I've taken all the pictures I think that I require for this assignment.  Now all I need to do is put them together in a logical sequence.   I must thank Alan, the town crier, who couldn't have been more co-operative with his time and suggestions.  A lovely man who gives all his time to so many people.


I even had an interview with him that I recorded on my iPhone.  Then I couldn't work out how to copy it to my assignment folder.  I tried the help menu, tried clicking and dragging but it wouldn't copy to the desktop, then I did the very simple action - clicked on it and copied, then clicked on the desktop and pasted and it worked, AND it plays.  I need to transcribe it now to give a written answer format.  

I tried to upload the recording but there was a problem so will try again later.
