Shoot Six- The Change Of Interests In Youth Culture- Shoot Analysis

Within this shot I intend to explore different ways the youth culture has developed in the activities and interests this portray. The three main elements I hope to shoot, is records, electronics (phones and game consoles) and magazines

Record players- one of the first ways of the distribution of music. With the first ever invention in 1887- called the gramophone which was able to rotate a hard rubber disc and create sound through the cracks in this disc. Subsequently leading to the creation of records. The records company expanded and became a massively popular way of listening to music. Yet the creation of the more portable cassette in the 70s became increasing popular with being both cheaper and a more accessible way to listen to music, saw a decline in the purchases of record players. Yet within the recent years, they have became increasingly popular again- perhaps a way of reliving the past or trying to be vintage.
To include record players into this shoot, I will use low angles and narrow depth of field techniques in order to show both subjects and the players. This shoot may be considered staged, yet I do have friends who generally listen record players so will document them in their normal state.

Electronics- From the first phone (now considered a brick) to the most recent Iphone or SAMSUNG, teenagers have always been seen as the "Key" target market as they are more likely to be using it- stereo-typically. Either "blocking up the phone bill" or just "constantly attached" the youth culture is very commonly associated with electronics, staying in to look at a screen rather than going outside to talk to their friends in person.
Even though I do not have access to older phones, I do have access to all the modern technology, whether it's because I own them or because my friends do, I hope to include these electronics in order to help portray a stereotypical view of the youth subculture being anti social.
The techniques I hope to use is documentary, blur, close up and narrow depth of field. these are the techniques I intend to explore because I believe these are best fitting with these shots.

This image shown of the left is a quick example that I made to show a way of manipulation I hope to achieve because this shows interests, however, I could be possible that the surreal manipulation for this shoot appear in my physical experiments, linking with this shoot, yet on a different blog post.
