8:00 AM (Video)

During the media making process I had to set up an alarm starting from 5AM and every 30min on my phone so i went back to sleep then got back up every 30min to take the photo. As i was taking the photos due to my sleepiness i didn’t notice much and very little effort went into the media making process. I quickly snapped a shot and even in my mind i was thinking about how many shots i had left considering the sun would have come out by 8AM.

The only thing i stressed about was keeping the framing consistent. To be able to compare and  see the transition of the sunrise clearly i tried to keep the framing as consistent as possible.

Towards the end i accidentally took a video instead of an image which was really astounding because if i thought of the scenery to be completely still after watching the videoclip i realised there was actually movement and the contrast between the movement of the cars and the completely motionless background intrigued me.

In regards of the photos i took, the first two are almost indistinguishable but from 6:00AM the black/navy sky turns dark blue and starts getting lighter every 30minutes. I noticed that 6:30AM is the time that depicts the so-called ‘sunrise’ the best as there is a beautiful strip of redness across the horizon. After 6:30 AM is when the most clouds appear and they lessen as time goes by. By examining the photos i noticed the street lights becoming less perceptible and as the sun gradually came up the road also revealing its form.
