Project Proposal

Statement of the problem

How Does Money Work? / We are Slaves / Economic Slavery

Banks and merchants have always been guilty of burying people in debts they can’t possibly pay off with the real intention of making them their slaves. Political slavery may not exist today, but economic slavery is rampant. If politicians are not trying to print up money, shave the gold coins, or other corruption schemes involving money, they’ve been guilty continual budget deficits, never having enough money, and war machines, with their imperialistic ambitions to take over the world.  Also, the human mind seems to never have enough, and is never satisfied. It wants the best society has to offer, and will often step on anyone to get to the top. (Jason Summers November 30, 2009)

Money and economy control the entire human race, we as humans are the dominate spices on the planet however we are as well as the slaves of money and economy, human slavery may not exist today, but economic slavery is rampant.

It is difficult to learn. It takes a lifetime just to master one subject. Understanding a complicated subject matter is a lifelong endeavour, and it seems the more you learn, the more you realise you don’t know. Humanity’s main problem is most of their time is dedicated not toward learning, but toward reproducing, eating, sleeping, working pointless jobs, and general existence. (Jason Summers November 30, 2009)

Corruption seems to be going on everywhere and in any field, as well as education that exists in our world right now; tons of private universities and colleges are no longer in concern of educating the students instead they rip-off the students by all kinds of excuses, they seem to be more in concern of business rather than education. Another corrupted situation that can happen to private universities and colleges is that some students can easily bribe the lectures on purpose to pass a certain subject or exams, some are more rampant as if they have tons of money, they can easily buy a degree or diploma certificate. And that is the darkness of the private education nowadays.

Unfortunately, the news profits from this psychological tendency, and exploits it in the worst possible way. Also, complex issues are not presented in proper light and instead are given in fifteen second “sound bites”, leaving people more confused than informed. Instead of educating and informing, they instead rile up emotions and mostly spread propaganda which benefits the big corporations. They also tend to incite party politics and left/right paradigms, instead of uniting people on issues. (Jason Summers November 30, 2009)

The other day I told a classmate of mine not to look for learning resources from newspapers because they are full of lies, sadly the fact is there. I have heard so many stories of how rich companies and the powerful people bribe the media to hide the truth and cover up what’s really happening to the event in a way to benefit a reputation of themselves. A perfect example is the incident that happened a month ago, Malaysia Airline has lost MH370 flight a Boeing 777 big airplane, there are tons of explanations from different people, and the news keep delivering emotional propaganda like telling everyone to pray and pray but never told any useful information of what’s really happened. News channel was filled up with analysis interviews which only gave people more and more questions in mind rather than telling people the truth. 

Objectives

In this project, I am planning to study the use of combining photography and graphic design skills together to develop this entire project as I personally major in graphic design and photography. 

I plan to conduct a project that involves a promotional video on purpose to improve my personal story narrative skills, cinematography skills, filming skills and editing skills, and I plan to conduct a book project as well to design a book with the topic and theme given above in the statement of the problem, the book will contain the use of conceptual photography on purpose to improve my personal creative thinking skills and planning skills as well as photography techniques and editing techniques in graphic design field, this book project will also help me learn more in graphic design field such as layout and other knowledges related.

I also plan to explore other use of medias to execute my project, in both analogue and digital methods, also to explore the use of combining analogue and digital methods, this will help me practice other skills and experiment on different possibilities to apply to my project, as well as helping me learn more on other uses of medias in a way to widen my personal skills and studies.

Target audience and purposes

In this project, my target audience is scoped to the private education organisations, politicians, and the victims of economy rip-off, aimed to the most people in the world. The purposes of this project are to make people understand that life isn’t only about working for “pointless jobs” in another way, life isn’t just about working for money, instead there are lots of other things that motivate our life; and to speak up and stand for the victims of economic rip-off, to point out the fact of the society corruption in the way to make the corruption guilty by standing for justice.
