Murray's (2008) claim of everyday aesthetics especially about the small and mundane, led to the choice of floors. Floors are required for society to flourish and is one of the first ways we connected to each other as a society through the ages. Slowly while civilisation continued to advance, so did the types of flooring that became readily available from natural materials such as dirt till more advance man-made materials such as cement.
The photos were taken with the iPhone camera which further illustrates Murray's (2008) point about "amateur photography" as the readily available access to cameras allowed even amateurs to take photos with relative ease. This was also the case as the iPhone camera's are fairly good for today's standards and as well as being portable for the "everyday man".
The music chosen is called "Standing up (To be fearless)" which can used under Creative Commons. This particular piece was chosen as it had a soft and fluid melody. This particular song was chosen for this reason as it was decided that transition effects would not be used as it would interfere with the flow of the sub-theme as well as keeping the transitions in time with the music as the development of flooring is a slow, mundane process given the duration of time civilisation has existed.
