George Orwell's 1984 was a forerunner for the idea of the 'Big Brother theory', focusing on the idea that in our society someone, somewhere, through one of the million computers is always watching you. The notion of surveillance/observation is key to my project, as my footage will present the audience with a first person account of my voyeuristic journey as I observe, survey and comment on the people and area around me. Orwell covers the topic of surveillance fantastically in his dystopian fictional society in which everyones movement is monitored and controlled by the 'Big Brother' and I feel that my project allows me to become a moving surveyor of society, their behaviours and the spaces they interact with.
