Define A Place Project

Livia and I defined the place of Hunter's auditorium. Focusing on the vintage characteristics of the theater, including the restroom sign and red velvet curtains, we contrasted those charming details with the deteriorating effects of time, including graffiti on the balcony and leaking ceilings. To contrast this beauty and ugliness of a place that seems as if it were forgotten, we made creative decisions such as shooting scenes out of focus and using Billie Holiday as background music which evokes the feeling of nostalgia that abandoned theaters embody.
