Tiffany has is a blogger who takes lifestyle photography. On the website I looked at she shows 'a day in the life' with her family and what she does.
For my Idea I could use video or photography to create my own 'a day the life'

My Decided Project Idea
For my final project Idea I was thinking of taking pictures of my own 'a day in the life'. Instead of showing this from another person's perspective, I was thinking of doing it from the perspective of/the journey of...
-
My hands - Our hands go through a lot every single second of the day as they are very important. Instead of just taking images of both my hands together I could focus on both hands separately and put them together to emphasize the different jobs of each hand.
-
My Smart Phone -Almost everyone owns a smartphone, it would be interesting to show images from a smartphones point of view and what it goes through. Our smartphones live with us and now go through a lot..
The Hand
Preliminary test & Plan:
The Preliminary Tests helped me to decide on how I should be taking photos on my Phone and at what angle. This brought me to the conclusion that...
-
I should take one photo of the left hand and one photo of the right hand since there won't always be someone with me to take pictures of hands for me. Doing one picture for one hand is therefore deliberate as it helps to show a greater focus of what each hand is doing and not in the background or environment.
-
Doing a photo at exactly each hour is not realistic and possible for me and therefore I will be doing a picture for every hour instead.
-
Images are shown from my perspective and therefore the hands are shown in each image as if they are yours.
-
Sometimes the main subject of the image becomes out of focus and therefore multiple images should be taken to avoid this.

Video Presentation
EVALUATION
The outcome of my photography project showed me a flashback of what I do in a normal busy week. Many reflections could be made for different people. if everyone also participated as it shows you what you spend too much time on and what you don't spend enough time on doing. For me, it helped me reflect on the fact that living in the 21st century means a great amount of time spent on technology and on screens.
From this experimentation and photography project I realized how hard it is to remind yourself to take pictures every hour... and days like monday and tuesday were very similar since i did the same things in the day. Towards the end of the week, instead of doing a photograph every hour, I eneded up taking a photo whenever I remembered and when I was not busy.
If I was to do this photography again, instead of doing a photo an hour, I would have taken a photo everytime I did something different or interesting. This is because I found that most of the time these actions would not be shown every single hour.

In order to further develop the mappa me project i decided to continue with using my own known knowledge of the places ive been to in the past and the 'a week photography' project in order to make my own personal map.
