Porosity Lens Concept

My Porosity lens is going to explore the connection of people to each other through the idea of networking.
Some ideas that are worth looking at are social networks and sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is the study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and the effects of language use on society. (John J. Gumperz and Jenny Cook-Gumperz, "Studying language, culture, and society: Sociolinguistics or linguistic anthropology?"). 

Socioliguistics can be used in my porosity lens to document how different class families, such as middle, lower and upper class, relate and network with each other, and within the groups themselves.

I am interested in documenting how the different social groups move about, mingle with who and the patterns they create. An advantage with my chosen field is that there is a lot of detailed information relating to my area of choice. 

The different groups of people will be distinguished by the colour of the trail they leave behind. 

Lower class: Green

Middle Class: Blue

Upper Class: Red 

The coloured particles glow brighter the longer a class is stationary, this documents the amount of time that the different classes spend together or away from each other.

The yellow particle represents the player as an onlooker. The yellow is a neutral colour when compared against the others so it is easy to pick out which path is the viewer. 
The yellow colour as a seperate colour to the others represents that the viewer is not part of the world or in-motion graph.

The aim for my documentary is that the paths and journeys of the different groups are clearly visible.

The static, dark environment I have created will be an advantage when having to analyse the groups paths.
