The next step for this project is to research into possible locations for the projection by finding a suitable surface based on the events and potential audience surrounding it. A location needs to be discovered that will not be dramatically obstructed by anything or anyone, but does need to be in a location that will reach its specific target audience. This will therefore narrow the location down again from what I have currently to a very specific point in space. The space I have focused on so far is on Union Street between the Palace Theatre (Dance Academy) and the roundabout. This is the most undeveloped area of Union Street and also the area that seems the darkest because of this so is a good location for the projection. However there are street lights and a lot of traffic through the area so this may have an adverse effect on where the projection can be located. When we first went down to Union Street I took some pictures especially to document areas that could be used for improvement, including areas now outside of the focus area. These areas are the kind of areas that could be used for the projection and so are shown below:
These areas need to be considered in terms of their size, shape, accessibility for projection and also the kind of audience the area gets at particular times of day. For example if the area is near a bus stop it will have a larger audience and also a static audience which would make the projection more effective as people would be able to watch the projection for a period of time. However at night this would be less likely and the audience would more likely be passers by going out to a club or pub, and drivers. Therefore it may well be better to choose a location that could be viewed by people going to clubs in the area but will not be obstructed by them. I will therefore need to go down to the area and more closely document the possible locations based on these observations.
