Problem with Project Idea:


Issues with Project:

After much deliberation I have decided to slightly alter the project idea due to the difficulties and issues that would arise if I went through with it. The clear issue is of course picturing children, I was extremely lucky that the original picture that sparked this idea was of a child's back and not their face. This I found after going into Brighton to take more photos was very unlikely to happen again, as many of times the children were in buggies and I didn't want to cause any problems with any of the subjects.

To avoid this issue with the law I have decided to change the project to look at the distractions there are with technology, whether this be a parent and their child, or a driver texting on the road. This can also be a two people walking together, friends maybe, both being on their phones: together but alone. This, I feel, will be a very powerful exploration into how individuals get distracted with technology and lose focus of the people around them as well as their surroundings.

Databending Image edited:


This was achieved by putting the original image file into a software called audacity (sound editing). From this changing the sounds bass etc. it provided a rather strange edit that looks rather strange.
