Sounds like you've put a lot of heart into things so far, so don't bin them.
Your tutor's talking about a narrative (story) and how the images you've produced need to link into each other.

The one thing that strings all these things together is mass media and it's effect on the consumer.

So think about reworking what you have and presenting them in a news format. Possibly as a parody of a modern magazine with contemporary attention grabbing headlines.
(scan & photoshop) or possibly a graphics presentation.

Twiggy had a very dramatic effect on what was percieved as the perfect model which still has ramifications to this day.

Vietnam caused social dissention and civil disobediance. Music expanded to express root level feeling, in a way not experienced before, it questioned authority openly and despite censorship became popular with the generation that felt the most affected.

The last 3 by Steppenwolf were released on an extended play single.
What you could do is compare the lyric from the above contemporay songs with the images of the 60's, they present two opposing views of the same time period.

Working Elvis into the mix is abit trickier but I found this.

Another idea would be to use overlays of actetate across your images so far but with the darker images from that time period, again discuss it with your tutor. They could be full page, or partially torn, ripped or singed, or mocked up to look like old fashioned film strips going across them.

I hope this helps take away some of the confusion you feel, and you may not be into the music but the power of lyric used stays with us to this day and paved the way for modern rap.

Good luck with it.
