Earlier experiments with filming.
These clips are from a little project we did together with the performing art students.
Lighting experiment.
Angle experiment.
Research on Project.
Self Portrait,
Beardbox
I like this video because he's beatboxing, and its interesting how he edited his clip.
I found this one really interesting, its simple but effective.
I found this one interesting because he actually talks about hime self and it was something I was think of doing in my project.
This clip caught my eye because the effect that was on his clip, its interesting and looks complicated to edit.
I really like the lighting on this clip.

Camera handling techniques 24 shot sequence:

MS (Mid Shot)
Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

Low Angle Shot (LAS)
A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make everyone look heroic and/or dominant. Also good for making cities look empty.

This allows you to get to know the character more closely by viewing their facial expressions and body language.
Extreme close-up (ECU)
To make the viewer aware of some specific detail in the film. It can be used to heighten tension.

The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.
MCU (Medium Close Up)
Half way between a MS and a CU.

Project development.
1 attempt.....
I came up with the idea of exposing my face with my family members faces after talking to Rebbeca. Which was an opinion I agreed with, because it was a self portrait project and having a peace of my family in my project will make it more interesting and meaningful.On this stage I was not really impress with my idea on my project, for me it looked simple and I really wanted to add more elements and make it look more interesting.
This thought got me experimenting on the other effect on photoshop, thinking back on the negative effective idea I did earlier on my photoshop experiments.

I was also not impress with this, so I fiddle and practice with the other tools and effect on the toolbar on Photoshop.
I manage to find a effect I really liked on the tool bar.
I really liked this effect, I like what it does to the contrast of the image, but the one thing I wasn't satisfied with is the way the two images are exposed.
So I was thinking about how I really like how Dan Mountford ideas of exposing buildings and a self portrait together, gave me an idea. I wanted to use images of places I'm familiar with, places I'm always around like my community, I wanted to use this idea because it has a familiar meaning to the reason why I wanted a family member in my self portrait on my first idea.
I took photos of the:
-Otara shopping center,
-The MIT Creative Arts buildings
-Manukau Westfield Mall building
These three places are the places I see everyday, and some how I have develop a feeling of comfort being around the these places, but not just the looks but also the people I meet and the people I share the places with. I just have a personal connection to these places.
So now a had a main idea to base my project on, so I started putting my project together.
Final out come..
