Today when we received our task sheet for Project 1 – Self Portraits, I must admit I did struggle a little to think of what I want my project to be based around. I have always struggled with revealing myself to others and showcasing myself I guess you could say, but this task made me really wonder what makes up my self? I find myself a caring, compassionate and fun person so I will demonstrate this through my materials somehow. However, showing your qualities or traits is a lot more difficult to convey than things you like or are interested in. I will, however, include both in my series of media. What I really like about this task is that everything is going to be so raw as we are not allowed to edit or manipulate these forms in any way at all. No filters, no cropping or shortening, no nothing. That to me, is quite scary and confronting because I am used to editing things to a certain standard to look a certain way or convey a certain thing. So I think the rawness will be a new style for me and perhaps something to learn from. For the task we are to create a set of media materials; a pair of audio recordings, a small blurb of text, a few photographs and two videos.
