1. What is the central idea of your concentration? -  For my project, I shot portraits of a variety of young black adults, from the perspective of a young black adult. My central idea was to convey the struggle that black youth faces, growing up in a society that has a disfigured view of them. I used natural techniques (reflection, shadow, and light) to portray the difficulty that comes with reflecting stereotypes and projections that are forced upon us a society, living in the shadow of others due simply because of our race, and also feeling the pressure to be the one that changes this paradigm for future generations. This project is not meant to be a political 

Well, this week I rolled and developed and processed my film. All was going great, I was confident in my idea and rolling went great, until my roll of film got exposed. However, its not thaaaat exposed so I'm still going to use it bc thats show biz. I really like the dance photos I took so I'm going to try my best to salvage them. sydni out.

This past week I have considered all of the critiques I received from the class, as well as incorporated some of my newer ideas in an attempt to make my project more interesting and more connected to me. I decided that the mirrors were getting repetitive so I am either going to shoot 4 people and do 1 reflection photo, 1 shadow photo, and 1 light photo, or I am going to shoot 6 people and do 1 reflection photo and 1 shadow photo.

For my film project, I could not decide on what idea to do, as per usual, so I decided to shoot for multiple ideas and choose which idea I like best based on what the photos look like. I shot some during dance, some portraits, some artwork, and some sources of water. My idea of dance was to highlight the process and technique that goes into each performance, the portraits were to be supplemental to the text: chilling statistics that young adult women face on a daily basis, the artwork I have not yet decided how to incorporate text, and the water were to be paired with statistics about how wasteful we are and the effect it has on the environment.
