visual poem pitch

For the visual poem I wanted to document the struggles of what it’s like relying on MTA on the weekends. I wanted to record my friend buying a metro card, swiping a metro card, going through the turnstiles, waiting for a train, getting on a train etc. I wanted to catch some background noise of the announcements of delays or schedule changes that play while you’re on the platform. Overall, I really want to capture how frustrating it can be taking the subway on the weekend. I’m not too sure about the music, but I wanted to find a dramatically slowed down version of “Empire State of Mind” or “New York, New York” to go along with the stress of taking the NYC subway.
