Idea. After Hours

Title

In the second crit we came up with the title for our project. As I mentioned before our theme is about life at night.  We did not want the title to be too obvious like Nightlife, When the sun goes down, Darkness and so on. Anna mentioned that there was a festival in Manchester called After Hours and we thought that is the perfect title for our project, because it is not too obvious and still has the same meaning as life at night.

Idea

Usually I spend a long time thinking about the right idea for my projects, changing my mind every second and doubting my choices, but this time, due to the fact that we have just 6 weeks for everything, I did not think that much and decided to do the first thing that comes to my mind. I did not look far and chose the closest topic to me - student life. Most of us have been a student and knows what life they live. There is even a saying that students never sleep. I decided to show 3 ways of how students spend their night. I tried to explore procrastination, because it plays a huge part in my and a lot of other peoples life. "Some studies reported that approximately 70% of college students considered themselves procrastinators, and academic procrastination has been reported across the world."(Ji Won, 2015, 64 p.) So what people do instead of studying, what happens when the work has been left for the last minute? What students think and what they feel, do they know and feel bad that they are not doing work, do they regret their decisions? That is what I am interested in and will try to show in my images for this project.
