My original idea for Project Brief 2, was to see how someone’s bike represents who they are as a person. What if you saw someone’s bike and automatically knew who they were, where they might be heading, what they use their bike for. Their personality can shine through their bike, and it can determine what kind of person you are. Also you bike normally will show what you might be wearing when you cycle, for example if you had a road bike you would probably be wearing lycra, and the advanced cycling clothing, whereas if you were on a vintage bike, riding through the streets, stopping at cafes, you might be wearing something more casual or an attire you would wear when you went out during the day. Normally a girl would still wear her dresses and skirts. I wanted to capture this by filming cyclists and showing their bike before revealing who rides them. I wanted the audience to picture who might ride a certain bike, and they will create expectations, and then will discover you rides them. This is like an onion effect, slowly revealing an object.

During this tutorial we had to pitch our ideas to the class. Some ideas that I had accumulated from the input from other students was how bikes don’t move. Cycling classes, cycling for electricity, treadle.com.au, Bike n Blend, Medibank, Cargo Bikes (smith street).
