The theme Rob and I decided to go with is the use of arches within the urban areas and city architecture and how the style has made its way through modern tools and technology. We mainly focused on gathering images of arches through Victorian style building in the CBD and at the rocks and later searched for places that used the style that one would normally not pick up on their day to day lives like a bike ramp or a bin. The sub theme we focused on is the indistinct. We drained some colour while sharpening and defining the images to emphasise the textures that would accompany the architecture and how it contrasts with modern, aforementioned tools. These themes relate to being mundane as both the modern and historical methods of arches are commonly tedious and viewed as unimaginative which the video would like to denote while attempting to give evidence to the contrary. All the things the video displayed are things that us as members of a westernised culture use and mainly ignore which further emphasises what makes it mundane.
