dfsa - reflections photography memory ideas
i first looked at the process of memory
http://www.simplypsychology.org/memory.html
i found out there are 3 stages of memory.
but from researching this i started thinking about the fallacy of memory and how it can be 100% reliable
3 types of situations can cause memory loss
- disease
- trauma
- neglect
Disease-Related Causes:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Other Dementias
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Trauma-Related Causes:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)/ Concussion
- Stroke: Clot or Aneurysm
- Anoxia and Hypoxia
- Brain Tumor and Masses
- Diabetes
- Transient Global Amnesia
- Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
- Emotional Trauma, including PTSD
- Depression
- Epilepsy
- Adverse Effects of Prescription Drugs
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)
Neglect-Related Causes:
- Alcohol Abuse
- Smoking
- Drug Abuse
- Stress
- Herpes Encephalitis
- Improper Nutrition
i then wanted to explore why memory is never fully reliable
i looked at the problems of eye witness testimony
then looked at the problems
the idea which most intrests me is ptsd

reflection film ideas
reflection. guy looking into pond and reflecting on his life. double exposure water . visual metaphors.
place in universe. everyday objects. show normal. then macro and then micro
twin screen devolpment
I have moved on from the idea of infinite zoom as I know how difficult it is to produce. therefore I am trying to explore themes I find interesting on the connection to the internet and phycology.
I want to focus on the interaction of different personality types on the internet.
I like the idea of personalty types but I want to go more into personality disorders as their interaction with the internet is more interesting.
the types are
psychopath =
sociopath =
paranoid =
schizoid =
Schizotypal=
antisocial =
borderline =
histrionic =
narcissistic=
avoidant=
dependent=
Anankastic=
depressive=
manic=
masochistic=
obsessional =
dissociative =
after talking to my brother i found out there are only 10 and the others are overclassifcation
Paranoid personality disorder
A person with a paranoid personality disorder is extremely distrustful and suspicious. Other features include:
- thinking other people are lying to them or trying to manipulate them
- feeling they cannot really trust their friends and associates
- worrying that any confidential information shared with others will be used against them
- thinking there are hidden meanings in remarks most would regard as innocent
- worrying that their spouse or partner is unfaithful, despite a lack of evidence
Schizoid personality disorder
Someone with a schizoid personality disorder may appear cold and detached, and avoid making close social contact with others. Other features include:
- preferring to take part in activities that do not require interaction with others
- having little desire to form close relationships, including sexual relationships
- being uninterested when receiving criticism or praise
- having a limited ability to experience pleasure or joy
Schizotypal personality disorder
A person with a schizotypal personality disorder is likely to have poor social skills and delusional thoughts, and behave in unusual ways. Other features include:
- attaching undue and misguided significance to everyday events – such as thinking newspaper headlines are secret messages to them
- believing in special powers – such as telepathy or the ability to influence other people’s emotions and actions
- having unusual ways of speaking – such as long, rambling vague sentences or going off on a tangent
- experiencing excessive anxiety in social situations – even if they have known a particular person or group of people a long time
Antisocial personality disorder
A person with an antisocial personality disorder sees other people as vulnerable and may intimidate or bully others without remorse. They lack concern about the consequences of their actions.
Symptoms include:
- lack of concern, regret or remorse about other people's distress
- irresponsibility and disregard for normal social behaviour
- difficulty in sustaining long-term relationships
- little ability to tolerate frustration and to control their anger
- lack of guilt, or not learning from their mistakes
- blaming others for problems in their lives
Borderline personality disorder
A person with borderline personality disorder is emotionally unstable, has impulses to self-harm, and has very intense and unstable relationships with others.
Histrionic personality disorder
A person with histrionic personality disorder is anxious about being ignored. As a result, they feel a compulsion (overwhelming urge) to be noticed and the centre of everyone’s attention. Features include:
- displaying excessive emotion, yet appearing to lack real emotional sincerity
- dressing provocatively and engaging in inappropriate flirting or sexually seductive behaviour
- moving quickly from one emotional state to another
- being self-centred and caring little about other people
- constantly seeking reassurance and approval from other people
Narcissistic personality disorder
A person with narcissistic personality disorder swings between seeing themselves as special and fearing they are worthless. They may act as if they have an inflated sense of their own importance and show an intense need for other people to look up to them.
Other symptoms include:
- exaggerating their own achievements and abilities
- thinking they are entitled to be treated better than other people
- exploiting other people for their own personal gain
- lacking empathy for other people's weaknesses
- looking down on people they feel are "beneath" them, while feeling deeply envious of people they see as being "above" them
Avoidant personality disorder
A person with avoidant personality disorder appears painfully shy, is socially inhibited, feels inadequate and is extremely sensitive to rejection.
Unlike people with schizoid personality disorders, they desire close relationships with others, but lack the confidence and ability to form them.
Dependent personality disorder
A person with dependent personality disorder feels they have no ability to be independent. They may show an excessive need for others to look after them and are "clingy". Other features include:
- finding it difficult to make decisions without other people’s guidance
- needing others to take responsibility over what should be their own important life choices
- not being able to express disagreement with other people
- finding it difficult to start new activities due to a lack of confidence
- going to extremes to obtain support and comfort
- feeling helpless and uncomfortable when alone
- urgently needing to start a new relationship once a previous relationship comes to an end
- having an unrealistic and constant fear they will be left alone to fend for themselves
Obsessive compulsive personality disorder
A person with obsessive compulsive personality disorder is anxious about issues that seem out of control or "messy". They are preoccupied with orderliness and ways to control their environment, and may come across to others as a "control freak".
Other features include:
- having an excessive interest in lists, timetables and rules
- being so concerned with completing a task perfectly that they have problems completing it (perfectionism)
- being a workaholic
- having very rigid views about issues such as morality, ethics and how a person should behave in daily life
- hoarding items that seem to have no monetary or sentimental value
- being unable to delegate tasks to other people
- disliking spending money, as they think it is always better to save for a "rainy day"

(use animal migration as methaphor)
(use animal migration as methaphor)
beach as link to all
seasonal movement of animals from one region to another.
include push and pull factors
inpacts both place left and arrived at
- nternal migration is when people migrate within the same country or region - for example, moving from London to Plymouth.
- International migration is when people migrate from one country to another - for example, moving from Mexico to the USA.
Two key migration terms
- Emigration - when someone leaves a country.
- Immigration - when someone enters a country.
- economic migration - moving to find work or follow a particular career path
- social migration - moving somewhere for a better quality of life or to be closer to family or friends
- political migration - moving to escape political persecution or war
- environmental causes of migration include natural disasters such as flooding
A refugee is someone who has left their home and does not have a new home to go to. forced migration
Push and pull factors
Push factors are the reasons why people leave an area. They include:
- lack of services
- lack of safety
- high crime
- crop failure
- drought
- flooding
- poverty
- war
Pull factors are the reasons why people move to a particular area. They include:
- higher employment
- more wealth
- better services
- good climate
- safer, less crime
- political stability
- more fertile land
- lower risk from natural hazards
push factors often link directly to pull factors ie. lack of fertile land and moving to place with fertile land
Eu creates and easy inviroment for migration
this also links to the commonwealth which also finds it easy to migrate between contrys with its control.
new migrant crisis
Germany has received the highest number of new asylum applications, with more than 315,000 by the end of October.
(cant just claim benfit have to been in work or in order of work in 3 months )
Humiliated David Cameron to 'abandon demand to SLASH benefits for EU migrants'

Asylum seekers and refugees do not get large handouts from the state
- Asylum seekers do not come to the UK to claim benefits. In fact, most know nothing about welfare benefits before they arrive and had no expectation that they would receive financial support.
(Refugee Council, Chance or Choice? Understanding why asylum seekers come to the UK, 2010) - Most asylum seekers are living in poverty and experience poor health and hunger. Many families are not able to pay for the basics such as clothing, powdered milk and nappies.
(The Children's Society Briefing highlighting the gap between asylum support and mainstream benefits, 2012 Independent Asylum Commission citizens’ inquiry in The Independent, 2007) - Almost all asylum seekers are not allowed to work and are forced to rely on state support – this can be as little as £5 a day to live on.
- Asylum seekers do not jump the queue for council housing and they cannot choose where they live. The accommodation allocated to them is not paid for by the local council. It is nearly always ‘hard to let’ properties, where other people do not want to live.
- Asylum seeking women who are destitute are vulnerable to violence in the UK. More than a fifth of the women accessing our therapeutic services had experienced sexual violence in this country. (Refugee Council, The experiences of refugee women in the UK, 2012)
- Asylum Seekers do not receive more benefits than pensioners in UK (UK Parliament briefing paper, 2012)
Rape and child abuse 'are rife in German refugee camps': Unsegregated conditions blamed as women are 'seen as fair game' in overcrowded migrant centres
Abuses said to be taking place among 5,000 migrants at camp in Giessen
animal migration
Migration is the usually seasonal movement of animals in pursuit of food, suitable breeding sites or to escape bad weather or other environmental conditions. Mass migrations - such as the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, or Pacific salmon heading upstream to mate - create some of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles.
