Artists Statement

This final project will be documentative of the many faces of DJ's in tokyo. With this project I want to be able to show how dynamic DJ's are in music. When my audience sees this work I want them to now to be able to walk away knowing that DJ's don't just spin records. I anticipate on highlighting the different roles that DJ's Play with interviews that I conduct and the b-roll that I capture. I plan to interview a scratch DJ, A Radio DJ, A Club DJ and a mixtape DJ. Each of my subjects will give a brief history of how they started, what influenced them and how its like to be one of those many faces in Tokyo.

This piece will be composed of video and audio and possibly pictures or still frames and here and there. I feel that video would be the most effective medium based off the simple fact that its better to show than to tell. I want my audience to see what it is that these DJ's do, as if it was a day in the life of each of my subjects.  I want to illustrate how important DJ's are to music. Fans of music should appreciate the DJ's hard work just as much as they support the artists hard work.

Ultimately this project, will document the art of deejaying. After watching this my audience should appreciate DJ's and show them a little bit more respect. In the end this should be a great experience for myself as I this is something that i hold great interest in.
