Simply put, the assignment was to collect photographs, ambient sounds, and three songs from a period of one week. Then I had to put them together in a compact way that might be defined as a mash up of a typical week.
When choosing what to include, I decided to capture some of the consistencies and interests of my week. In other words, I took photographs at Bible Study, dinner, and church. I also used pictures from walking to class, studying, and riding a bus to New York City. As objects impact my life, I incorporated images of some objects that I made and a plant that I take care of. Because I spend a lot of time in my room, I took pictures of objects that surround me there such as my homemade sun jar and my paperclip sculpture that I made while fidgeting.
My songs include "Satellite" by Guster since that song is one that I never get sick of. The second song I chose was "Devotion" by Tracy Chapman because her songs have a lot to do with spirituality and God. As being a Christian is something that saturates my thoughts, I was hoping to comment on that by including this background song. The third piece I included was "You Could Make a Killing" by Aimee Mann mostly because this is the song that I put on repeat every time I have to write a paper. I placed this song over the images of me studying so that I could emphasize that.
The sounds include conversations with my friends. This is because I hear their voices a lot. I also hear a lot of other random sounds and don't really pay attention to them, so they are buried in other noise in this piece.
