Gorillaz concert at London's O2 Arena - 14th November - Concert Photos

The following pictures were taken on the 14th November 2010 at London's O2 Arena. I was there to see Gorillaz in concert, and I can honestly tell you, they were absolutely amazing in concert. As I was standing very close to the front, I decided to take some pictures...

 Damon Albarn, probably one of the best musicians of all time...


 Special Guest Star 'Nenah Cherry' who came on to sing 'Kids With Guns'
 I took a moment to show the visuals on stage


 One of Gorillaz's new found guitarists 'Mick Jones' who was from The Clash
 Another Guest Star, the singer from the first support band Little Dragon

 Guest Star 'Daley' came on stage to sing the latest single 'Doncamatic'
 The singer from Little Dragon came back, the two singers really showed emotion while singing this track
 Gorillaz's new bassist, 'Paul Simonon' who also used to be in The Clash




All in all, it was an absolutely amazing concert. I would rate the concert 10 out of 10, it was that fantastic.

I will be producing a photo assignment which will involve me taking photos on the conception of solitude.



2. Facilities: What facilities do you need for this project list all including software and hardware for the whole project

I will need to use my own camera and my own laptop for editing the photos. 


3. Finance: If you produced this project outside of the college you need to show how much would it cost to hire the equipment that you intend to use.

Camera - £240
Tripods - £20


4. Contributors: Who do you need to help this for you project? This includes talent and crew.

I will need to use one of my friends for the models in my photos. I am only going to use one person to show the idea of solitude, hence being on their own. 




5. Codes of practice and regulation: What regulations to you need to be aware of. Think about college policy as well as regulatory bodies that you looked at in assignment 2, Worksheet 1.6 Regulation and Safety notes

I will be taking a majority of my photos in the local forest to where I live, so I will have to make sure that I don't get in the way of other people walking around the forest. 




6. Presentation: How will you present the pictures? Will you include a soundtrack, think about copy write issues etc.

I will say an introduction before I show the first picture then I will introduce every picture. I will also have a soundtrack in the background. I will make sure that the music is not too loud so that my voice can be heard.

Ideas on In Solitude

Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation; i.e., lack of contact with people. It may stem from bad relationships, deliberate choice, infectious disease, mental disorders, or circumstances of employment or situation.
Short-term solitude is often valued as a time when one may work, think or rest without being disturbed. It may be desired for the sake of privacy. Many religions promote solitude for meditation.

I have decided to choose 'solitude' for my photo project. I decided to choose this basis because pictures of people in solitude can be very powerful. They show an amazing mood change.
