Stories on Every Corner

My photography assignment explores the contrasting rhythms of day and night in the city, revealing the hidden stories within its streets. Over the course of five hours, I captured a range of dynamic and compelling perspectives throughout downtown Toronto, focusing on unique angles and candid moments that showcase the city’s character.

Reflection
From my experience, I believe I could have improved my work in this course to be better. I enjoyed the pacing of the course, learning many valuable skills I plan on experimenting and practicing with more in my future projects. One of my favourite assignments I worked on was the photography assignment as it allowed me to create a story with the camera techniques we were taught in class. It was exciting to to venture out in downtown Toronto, capturing the deeper meaning of things through the lens and meeting new people. Another assignment that was fun to do was the video assignment since story telling was big part of the overall project. Using close ups and changing the focus of my lens to the exposure helped create more impactful scenes within the vision I wanted to convey with the project. The audio assignment I would believe would be something I would definitely work on practicing more, I enjoyed being able to use my voice to tell a compelling story with a deeper meaning, the different sound effects, changing tempo and background music helped make the story flow more to listeners. Overall I enjoyed the course and I plan on using the material presented to us in class, as a great reference to use in my visual communications career.
