Once we had selected our images we decided we would each ask a number of people to look at each of the images in any order and to think about what was going on in them. Then we asked them to produce a story that links the 3 images, again the images could be linked in any order. We also made a note of everyones gender, age, occupation and interests. We decided it was going to be too difficult to do all of this as part of a group and so although we each set off with the same 3 images and asked our friends and family the same questions we used our results in a different way. This meant we were able to make comparisons between our adapted experiments, what worked and what didn’t?

What I have noticed so far for Experiment 1
Most people imagine someone in the story
2 people mentioned work
3 people mention eating the pear
3 people mention travelling
Jon, Sarah and Sam tend to go in to greater detail than the others i asked.
I am unsure of the 'correct' number of people to ask although i think 7 is enough information to be working with for now and some people are already coming up with similar stories.
