The main aim of Project Brief 2 was to create a one minute self-portrait video which allowed viewers to have an insight on who we are through the use of photographs, videos and sound.

In my video, I wanted to show people my fun, colourful life that consisted of family, collections and how media plays a big role in my life.
The audio recording of television news in the very beginning of my video shows my obvious interest in the media and a current affairs.
The short part where you hear me play the piano tells the audience of an instrument I used to play when I was young, though not very good, I did like it, but it ended with a smash of the keys at the exact time my Edgar Allan Poe quote appears on screen. This gives the idea that sometimes, it did drive me a little bit insane when I couldn’t get the notes right.

I think what worked well in my video was that the photos in the beginning were of very high quality, making the footage look colourful and vivid like the idea I was trying to put forth. The different clips gave the audience a nice window into myself.

What did not work well and what I would like to improve on greatly next time was that some of the video footage that was in the last half of the film was of low quality. The two factors that I believe played part to it not being as high quality as the other photographs was the camera and the lighting. Another idea that may have confused the audience was how the content may have seemed random, because it did not tell a linear story. But after explanation, it will make sense.
