This experience has enlightened and educated me about a place that I am vividly familiar with versus a location that I have never been to. It is a really an uplifting experience that adds on to the practice of introspection and noticing.
While I have focused on tiny little aspects that go unnoticed in Brunswick, it is also important to also see the overviewing aspects of the place to truly capture what one would expect when visiting the town. I have never been to Brunswick so these images were taken from a fresh set of eyes and perspective; it is important to see any location with this type of mindset and point of view. This newly-found skill can definitely be applied to future projects and upcoming assessment tasks for Seeing the Unseen.
In terms of making media, I would like to further refine these skills by practicing this type of noticing – this also includes the consideration of the angles, lighting, composition and so much more aspects that come with photography, filmmaking and media-making in general. By applying this type of perspective that was attained from my experience in this task, I hope to become a type of media-maker where I can immerse my audience in my perspective.
~ Queries and Questions ~
- How can I further expand this new perspective that I have gained?
- How can I use this skill to improve my artistry and use of the camera?
These are some of the questions that I have been pondering about before and whilst undergoing this task – within this studio, I would like those questions to be my form of motivation and my progression as a media maker this semester.
