Editor's Notes
- Introduce selves and Bob. Why we’re not doing this with someone with dementia, but modelling the same process. Explain what we’re going to do: background to our study (AC) example of a participant film (Irene/Janet) basics of how to do it from scratch including image search, creating a slideshow in Photostory, and adding sound handouts available so no need to write it all down (give out copies of ppt) with notes spaces
- AC - 18-month study funded by NIHR-SSCR. Woman on right as an a example of social disengagement. Level of cognitive difficulty among participants. Capacity and consent.
- AC - Potential advantages of PV for people with dementia not previously explored other than in day centre pilot.
- Wider view of social participation; we learn from participants etc
- KL – a bit about working with Irene. AC - Make sure Irene’s film saved in same folder as ppt on USB.
- AC - Usually you will already have some information about the person, and there are a variety of ways you can expand on this, eg general conversation AC demonstrate adding to information through general conversation with Bob, eg year joined MN? Name of band? KL – find a couple of images while AC and BD talking and show? Eg specific area of Glasgow? Musical role models? Later occupations? Music and other hobbies?
- Structured prompts… AC ask Bob about a few categories where we don’t have existing information: eg sport; holiday destination; food. KL find image of holiday destination.
- AC Using pictures to prompt memories – once you have a few images you will find that things the person says in response to them help you to build up a bigger image bank. Gay told us that her father, who you can just see in the first photo was blind. In spite of this he was a printer and worked at C & P. Always try to use images that the person chooses, prefers or responds to. Often bright, attractive, colourful images are preferred, but not always. Old photos are b&w, but the past wasn’t, so bear in mind that b&w photos might not look the way the person remembers. In reality this is a red brick building that looks much less forbidding in real life.
- Does anyone recognise it? Past continues in the present.
- AC - Give example of Leodis – photographic archive of Leeds; Sheila’s racing jersey and trophies. Show a couple of images of right area of Glasgow; Bob’s own photos and get his responses to them.
- KL to go through main points and resources Could we tell them how to find out if they can use this particular image? https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8184/8423593033_86bacfd448_z.jpg
- Once you have a series of images you can start to put them into a slideshow. We used Photostory 3, which is a free download, like everything else we’ll be telling you about.
- KL to go through basics. AC give handout. Have laptop with Photostory downloaded and an Images file with half a dozen images that they can have a go at importing and arranging. Show timing of slides, panning within images and adding titles. See the handout provided for more things you can do in Photostory.
- KL – basic points
- There are a variety of ways you can add sound to your slideshow, from basic to advanced. The easiest is to use the music menu within Photostory. Groups to choose one kind of music and add to an image on laptop. You can also add upload music from iTunes or Wikimedia.
- Add a sound effect; eg we have used typewriter keys, waves, birdsong etc. Add wave sound to image of MN ship in slide show. Play some of these from USB rather than adding to slideshow?
- Add one VR clip of Bob talking about one of the images in Photostory. Explain re file conversion if not using a dictaphone, eg recording on mobile or direct to PC? (KL)
- KL/AC Play slideshow and discuss how it could be developed further. Q & A.
