Group tutorial.

in preparation for the group tutorial i filled out this sheet with 5 potential lines of further development/interests from the research i gathered last week. 

the ideas i would mostly like to talk and develop on during the group tutorial are the 'PDA' (personal displays of affections) awkward situations, dirty looks, pigeons and social acceptance. 

we discussed all my ideas.

my group felt the 'pda' idea was quite strong and therefore informed me of ways i could develop this body of research further. 

visual

• train station goodbyes/hellos
• old couples
• body language
• different environments/times of day e.g.-nightclubs

factual data:

• first dates
• dating websites

books to look at: us and them-paul davies
monday afternoon:
with this in mind i went of to do some visual research, however i found the information i gathered to be very similar, and lacking in diversity. for example, i had a number of pictures of couples holding hands, but nothing else. i also found it very awkward and hard to capture couples in intimate moments.

some of the sketches i made of pda i saw around and about. 

because i also liked the idea of looking at pigeons and examining their boy language, and imagining a dialogue between them, my group suggested i could research into how animals don't care about social awkwardness/pda.
