As soon as project 3 brief was announced I was so excited and immediately began thinking of possible subjects. I thought about who had a particular aspect of themselves they could openly talk about, who had a passion that essentially defines them (whether that be sport, music such as in a band etc.) and the types of shots I could do whilst undertaking the task that relate to the subject.
With all this in mind, my four initial ideas came down to:
- My auntie Jacinta who is an art teacher at a high school in the country
- My friend India who rows for Victoria
- My friend Sarah who is a national sprinter (athletics)
- My auntie Dee who is an actress
All four of my ideas would have been absolutely perfect, however I had to chose one. Each subject was so interesting and had a lot of different aspects of themselves and their field that they could talk about. It really came down to who would be more confident and/or natural when it came to being on camera.
This is why I chose Dee, as she has lots of experience being filmed, and thus would be more natural for her.
