As I have compared the previous two exercises through music events, I will end on this example too. There isn't a huge amount I can say regarding using standard focal length though. I feel it is very much 'as it is', as the viewer would see it though their own eyes. I am not up close to broadcast exactly what I am doing for all to see, nor am I at the back trying trying to get a better shot to appear closer than I am. To use standard focal length in this environment means you can be as involved as you want, get up front to get a decent shot or stand back to get a wide angle room shot. it's more a case of the photographer moving about to capture exactly what it is they are wanting to get.

I feel standard focal length is best suited to capture the overall feel of the environment/experience, as though documenting the 'event' opposed to just the 'performances'.

Conclusion: These past three exercises have enlightened me to exactly what I'm doing when I'm using my different lenses or zoom capabilities. Using all three can really narrate an event, it's just a matter of using which length for which part of the event.
