=VSP Revision Summary: 4/25/2012= Revising my VSP had a lot to do with moving away from the “bare bones” of the poem and it’s visual half, and adding some information about my posed question. As I was watching my fellow classmates do their presentations today, I realized that I am still lacking in the explanatory details of the techniques I used and why, as well as demonstration of my understanding and application of Ramage, Sontag, Updike, and other critics in this project. I will definitely need to include the details from Ramage and Sontag especially that influenced my use of images and text for this visual story project. I am going to keep the setup I have currently. I have turned all of the images black and white so that they have the effect of being depressing and timeless. As one of my peers mentioned before, the first picture with the sleeping boy and the teddy bear would appear cute if it was in color and used in another context. In the context of my visual story project, and in black and white, it becomes tragic and sorrowful. The only image that I did not manipulate is the image of the nightmare monster. I wanted it to stand out because it is the “wake up” moment I have discussed in my presentation. Ramage’s information on interpretive relationships really helped in my presentation of my images. How I put them in succession had a lot to do with how well the story was conveyed to my audience.
