I started this Narrative Project with the
idea of a simple journey as a Narrative structure. Simple being a Joke as train
travel on a Sunday is rarely simple. I thought to record my journey through the
use of the mobile App “Snapchat” I use this app regularly to send and share
funny pictures and random moments with my friends. I thought it might be
interesting to have a conversation with someone via the App as you can add text
and draw on the image you have taken before you send it. The app allows you to save
your images before you click send, and I would do this in reply to each of the
snaps I received. I focused the conversation on one person, although I
sometimes have multiple conversations with lots of people, this app gave me a
useful catalyst to converse with someone important. I chose this person
carefully as I need someone reliable whom I can have a conversation with over a
period of a few hours that would respond to my pictures. The person I chose I
knew would respond as long as she saw the image, as there is a deep emotional
connection between us. I have only just started to re-get to know her as we had
not spoken for 3 years so this project became more about getting to know
someone and conversing with them rather than just a simple linear narrative of
a train journey.
