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
