DSDN 144 Project 3- Light.

Change in theme/idea-

After disscusing the photo sequence with my tutors and looking over it myself, I saw that there was a change going on in my theme to my photos. Instead of displaying the idea on how lights act as guides in a location, the idea has changed to how lights represent barriers where not to walk in spaces. I decided to work with this change instead of carrying on with my initial proposal because the lights created in my chosen location are representing barriers in a form similar to an electrical fence more than guides. I also liked this idea because it was a lot more abstract than my other idea and feel that the form my lights are creating represent this idea/view.

Looking at how from my latest shoot it has cut down the use of four colours to one, I feel that this is working effectively to show my new change in topic because the chosen colour (blue) is working effectively to act like an electric fence that is both visually and mentally cutting people off from a particular area and forcing them to travel in a certain path.

A way it influences a viewer to think this mentaly is because when a person is observing the photos I made where the lights are going around a location rather than through, helps to give off the message not to enter through this way. you must travel around instead of taking a short cut and going through. Visually we are influenced to think that its an area almost out of bounds because the lights aren't in a straight form that give that warm and flowing feeling. They're giving off a dangerous and intimitating look that threatens others to not enter through this space.
