Here's a video I made on tuesday night. I initially wanted to film the design building, but the security guards had already turned off half the lights in the building by the time I got to the red square (8:40). So I decided to film the Granary building instead. Unfortunately, the camera malfunctioned after 6:29 minutes, so my film was confined to that time (at least for the time being- I'll probably film either the granary or design building again at some point this/next week). I edited the film to be black and white, might put out a color version as well. The black and white film references directly to the aesthetic of 'Empire', Warhol's piece which inspired this idea.

The Everyday: Project Overview and Ideas
Project Description
During this project you will be asked to create a work or series of works which interrogate an aspect of the everyday. The everyday could be seen to encompass many aspects of contemporary life, including everyday routines, transport, exchange interaction, and popular culture.
Idea 1
For one part of my project, I'd like to film/photograph buildings at closing time. I got the idea for this when working on the self-directed photography project; the image of a lit window at night highlighted what goes on behind the glass more so than a window during the day would. The recording of the images would be as unintrusive as possible, so that it becomes a documentative narrative rather than an illicited one. However, when filming, I want to have a static camera position so that the image of a building front becomes the stage of the story. I want to film the NCAD design building at closing time, mainly because of ease and its likeness to actual office buildings. I'll be photographing other buildings throughout the city (around the IFSC, the AIB bank on Baggot St., office buildings along the Quays) at night time as well.
Initial Research
Videos inspired by Andy Warhol's piece, 'Empire'

Idea 2
Looking at the idea of the routine in everyday life, from tomorrow onwards I'll be posting up my whereabouts at (approximate) times throughout the day. I'll be documenting my day through the locations I visit. The final product will be a geographical diary which I can represent on a map, with a different coloured 'timeline' for each day dotting out my daily journeys.
