The word Origin means the position or place where something or someone comes from, it can also refer to someone’s ethnicity or background.
I would like to explore Jerseys archaeological and geological side.
The definition of Origin: the point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived.
Origin can be perceived as multiple different things, however as my interpretation of origin is aiming to be looking back along my family history and look at my own origin.
Another idea might be looking back and finding out the history and heritage behind important structures such as my house
Mood board
In class in a group of three of us we went through different ideas and created a mind map which helped us all start to develop our ideas and create different aspects and perspectives of the word.
Planning my photoshoot over half term
Beforehand, I would like to conduct some research to get a deeper understanding of my own origin.
I have found old records of my ancestors from their experiences in the war and also where they lived and how they make up me today. Here below are some of the records of my grandfather when we has at school:
In the bottom left my grandads name is visible from when he went to the school Victoria College. These records shows that he attended the school and also that he was sports captain and also part of the first XI for Cricket.
During half term I am aiming to get a photoshoot done that is tailored to not just him but his parents as well. From my own research as well i have found the old house that he used to live at and also the graveyard of which his parents are buried and where he is planned to be buried.
In St Clements Graveyard, both my Great grandparents are buried and i would like to visit this plot to look more into the heritage and the connection between my family that is the reason i am here today,
What would I like to achieve during this photoshoot?
During this photoshoot my main aim is to capture the essence of how their life was and how that has had a direct impact on who i am and also how im not just directly connected to one of these people but more how i have a little piece of all of them together which makes me different to how they were but also so closely related.
Aiming to capture images of old houses that they stayed in and graveyards also hoping to feature registration cards and those who i cannot photography hopefully aiming to obtain information of them that I can turn into a small paragraph to hopefully look into sitting next to the image when displaying it and telling more of a story
