"You are a cinema, I could watch you forever. Action, thriller, I could watch you forever. You are a cinema, a Hollywood treasure. Love you just the way you are, a cinema, a cinema, a cinema." - From the song Cinema By Benny Benassi Remixed by Skrillex

The reasoning behind the choice from this song is because overall it has been one of my most favorite songs that means something to me. The great effects in the song make me want to portray it through photography and visual metaphors. The visual metaphor this evokes is that the person is the movie itself, the star of the show, and a never ending performance. Other people might think this song means that the person it is about is very dramatic because the song says "Action, Thriller." These lyrics will influence my project by explaining how someone can be a cinema, and how they can become the highlight of the movie theater. My metaphor will include a cinema, a character that I have not decided on yet, and the movie ads on the theater walls. I can take these photos at the majestic movie theater. The metaphor I will portray is that someone can be that amazing that someone could watch them forever, and their life could be a movie.
