Self Portrait Brief Two ‘Brainstorm’

13/03/17

I want to relay out my ideas for my second self-portrait brief. I was unhappy with my sounds as a representation of myself for my brief one, so I want to focus on making those perfect for my second brief. I also want to have a running theme throughout my videography, photographs, and sounds so they can work seamlessly together throughout my piece.

A self-portrait has to represent myself, but in an abstract way. I am thinking of using printed out photographs as some of my mediums as well as going around Melbourne and shooting some footage of my favourite places or things that represent myself (for example, I have a load of washing to do when I get home… not necessarily that I am an unclean person but I like to get tings done on a certain day). I am excited to get ahead and shoot some content out in Melbourne, after all – that is why I am doing the Media One course.

I have also added onto my idea with “Me at 19” – showing the things I love, my daily life and the things I fear. I believe this is the best way to represent my ideas and allow a consistent theme throughout my video, connecting the above ideas with this. I have started shooting my film – focusing on many different parts in Melbourne to represent myself and who I am. Some of these ideas are clearer than others, but I hope to shed some light on all my concepts in my reflection.
