Assignment brief; Time & the image

Brief

I'm going to produce an A3 image that explores both time and narrative; the boundaries of interpretation are vast. The element of time can be taken literally, technically, historically or personally depending on the outcome I want to achieve.  The narrative is either linear (it has a beginning, middle and end) or non-linear.

Exploring time

Chemical processes were the most significant discovery within photography.

The following article really helped me understand what contexts I could use to portray the sense of time, without being too literal with the word.

After looking into different aspects of the brief, it's now down to me to produce a print that complies with all the requirements of the brief. With a deadline of 7th December I have to plan my shoot with precision as I haven't got much time to amend mistakes.
