Friday meeting (week 3) (Choosing 1 idea and development on it)

For this weekly Friday meeting with Sarah, we had to tell our 3 topics for our City In Flux project and then choose the strongest one out of them. As for my 3 concepts, Sarah gave me feedback and told me that my strongest idea was the topic about the city being labelled as one aspect. She told me to go and gather sources for all the 'different aspects' of Bradford and then in the next meeting we would gather them all up and try to develop them.. Basically, I had to go around Bradford and take photos of all the main places Bradford was known by to other people (places like Bradford City Hall, The National Media Museum, The Alhambra Theatre, The IMAX screening in Bradford (which was the 1st one in the UK etc) and then all the other places of Bradford which most people don't know about (places like its old industrial buildings, asian boutiques, take-aways etc). After given my task, I had another idea which involved sampling. In my spare time I often use the Garageband app on my iPad and create songs. The app allows you to sample sounds as well and so this got me thinking, maybe along with visuals of Bradford I could include sounds from Bradford and try to create a piece to go along with my photos. I told this to Sarah and got told to look at more artists such as Hexstatic and I chose to look at someone I already knew and this was the song artist, Mark Ronson.
