The audience might be focused mainly on the background because it is in focus, while the taxi is blurry. However, paired with the audio, I wanted to shift the focus back to the taxi and the person inside. The piano music creates a feeling of loneliness and melancholy. I imagine the audience looking through the lens of the one person inside the taxi, seeing the crowds outside passing in a blur. None of them paying are any attention to that one taxi, furthering this sense of loneliness. Additionally, the tempo of the music further emphasized the speed of the taxi as it&#8217;s passing all of these people in a blur. I imagine the person in the taxi looking out the window, trying to see the people on the streets but isn&#8217;t able to pick any one person out of the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first glance, this image creates the sense of a busy and crowded scene with lots of people and lots of noise.
