EVALUATION AND CONCLUSIONS
AUTOBIOGRAPHY BRIEF
CHRISTINE KEELER
I think on the whole i have learnt a great deal from this project and towards the end enjoyed what i was doing which i think was the main point of this brief. For once having the freedom to work in whatever medium, format and style that we wanted was a plus for me, as a usually prefere more boundaries with stricter briefs and a very specific outcome.
Looking back on it i am glad that i got a person that i knew very little about beacuse it meant i had to start from scratch and did not have any kind of biased opinion already in my head. This meant that i didn't go off doing the first thing i thought of because i really wasn't sure how to go about it. I was open to all kinds of ideas which basically grew from what i read, saw and heard about Christine Keeler.
About half way through i found myself not concentrating so much on C.Keeler but on the photographer Lewis Morley which then developed into the chair itself (designed by Arne Jacobson) where the idea changed a number of times before i finally produced the finished piece dedicated to Arne Jacobson because people die but designs do not.

FINAL OUTCOME
AUTOBIOGRAPHY BRIEF
CHRISTINE KEELER
This is my piece dedicated to ARNE JACOBSON, inspired by Christine Keeler and Lewis Morley. It was the haunting element of that famous photograph taken by Lewis Morley that to me seems really spooky. The photo was taken pretty much against C.Keelers will as she only let it be taken due to the terms in her contract, yet it has become an iconic photograph world wide, but few people know about dark history and scandal all wrapped and contained in this one photograph. I tried to give the piece a cold feel, but with a glint of happiness to represent the few positive elements that came from this photograph being taken,
'ARNE'

LATE LATE LATE LATE LATE LATE!
AUTOBIOGRAPHY BRIEF
CHRISTINE KEELER
Look who showed up at 8.45 this morning, this sucker did! Two days too late! So the chair finally came, not much good now but it is doing a good job in my room and to be fair it is actually a well designed chair! Its really supportive and comfortable. I can see why Lewis Morley bought a whole bunch of these babies!
Getting back to Tuesday which was a day I was seriously dreading due to the fact i had still not offically got a studio session and my whole idea could of fallen through and never happened.
I got the amazing news from ALEX M around 9am Tuesday and was stupidly releaved to find that i had got a slot from 2-4pm the same day. It meant that the filming session was on! Everything went according to plan and i got the footage i had hoped for. With the footage in the bag it was just a case of putting it together in a creative interesting way.
