The exhibition for the film 'Saturday night and Sunday morning' showed pictures from the films-on screen and off screen-next to pictures of people from the 1950's. I really enjoyed this exhibition, I liked how the pictures were combined together because it made me feel as though I could connect with the people within the photos. Watching the film you get the idea that it is of the time but you just take it as the film and actors but seeing the photos it makes you realise that even though they are actors they are experiencing those times just the same as the other people.
Looking at the pictures you get a real sense of how the people lived and how they felt that at any moment it could all change-theories have been proposed that because of the threat of nuclear power release (that eventually lead to the cold war) people were living in the moment because they felt that anything could happen at any time.
Whilst we were there we had to find a picture that we liked and make a quick sketch of it then later develop this into a comic strip, developing a story that could relate or not to the picture as what it is. We could make it into a different style and change the aesthetics of the picture altogether. I chose this picture because it has a very simple feel to it and the idea behind the story I chose is to do with children playing in the street, this is a very big part of growing up in the 50's.
