Assignment #6

This project was kind of interesting to me. Although I changed my idea, it still had meaning to me. I decided to do the idea of music’s effect on a society mainly because I had more of a connection to the idea. Without changing I think i would have enjoyed the project much less, but in doing an idea that I actually could connect with and I could use photography to show with better results. The obstacles that I stumbled across were simply time and interest (or lack of). With my work schedule and with the way my classes are arranged, I would not have been able to execute my original idea of the separation of classes in modern society. I simply didn’t have time to wander the streets and try to find pictures of homeless people or some specific scenes that I would have needed. So instead of that, I decided to use my surroundings to my advantage. At work, I pulled out my camera and decided to snap photos of my work. I had an all access pass to the world of a professional concert event. Also in taking photos of a show from a few perspectives, and I ended up being far more interested in this project. If I had to do this project again, I probably would have chosen a more interesting subject right off the bat. I think in the end that would have helped this project develop a bit smoother. I think the function that this serves to me is just that of enjoyment. I wanted it to show the workings of an event that makes people happy and provides people with the ability to escape into another world for a while and for me it did/does. For the audience I want this project to show what goes into this art form. I want people to see this and think ‘I love concerts’ and think back to a memory of a show they went to.
