As I am in my third year of uni I have a few things I would like to shoot over the course of this semester. Partially to practice the lighting techniques we learn in class and partially for myself. I really want to place a heavy focus on lighting, cinematography, composition, exposure and depth of field.
Each of these sequences I aim to be 3 minutes long and I want them to all juxtapose one another. I also will ask others to help with set up of lighting and camera operating so I am able to communicate with others on the direction these videos.
The first video will be
SHOOT 1
- “this morning i wrote a poem”
- about self love and beauty
- well lit,
- close up of body so its hard to make out what it is
- perhaps micro close ups
- walking down hallway into bed
- soft movement
- delicate arty
