Found Footage.

When I heard we would be using found footage in our next project I was ecstatic. I had millions of ideas running through my head of specific clips and shots that would enhance my portrait, but then I actually looked at the criteria. The found footage that they wanted us to use had to be granted permission to use. That meant no dramatic Avengers shots, or hilarious Disney scenes. I had to limit the amount of things I could use then, but that didn’t discourage me. After looking through some of the suggested sites, I saw that there was bountiful free to use content available. Even in one silent film I could see potential re-contextualization in almost every shot. It gave me hope that I could improve on my storytelling ability and editing, and I could see that this certain requirement could play well to my advantage.

It’s just very exiting to consider all the different ideas and ways I could execute this project, but like always, just because I like the task doesn’t mean I will begin it on time. I know I can accomplish so much in this project, I just hope that I actually do complete it on time.
