In order to complete this assignment, I borrowed a canon camera and tripod from the FTU and took to the streets.
Hoping to portray the waking of a sleeping city, I took photos of the sky lighting as the sun came up that morning, then proceeded to take photos of one of the city centre's main shopping streets. However, it was in vain as the photos were over exposed due to an unknown camera setting, and instead I had many photos of feint silhoettes emerging from a white background. Although these images seemed to be deemed useless according to my original intention, I instead adapted my idea to the material which I had; from a waking city concept to that of a city of ever busy people, rushing around in a dreamlike state with implications of them investing their time in the wrong way.
The sound of gentle windchimes with the people rushing themselves around was to enhance the dreamlike sense and further enhance the feeling that the people have been lulled into a false sense of this is what it means to live, constantly racing against time. Time, which was shown as a clock, moving from daylight to dusk.
Despite set backs, I quite like how it turned out however, I would like for my original idea to have panned out better.
