Project Brief One was the first introduction to a university brief and already I am so incredibly lost. I love the concept of being able to poetically represent myself but I have honestly no idea how to do so and without the obvious things. Allusions to personality are extremely difficult to create because I almost feel like I have a very simple personality. And trying to represent ideas of isolation and introversion without a crew is almost impossible.

So I kind of tried to document aspects of my life as best as possible, for instance taking photos and videos of places I go with friends and places I frequently walk through on my way in every day life. But of course, this feels shallow and predictable. I wish I could be more expressive with the assignment but I’m just having trouble being inspired by the brief.

After shooting everything I narrowed it down to a few fairly normal photos and videos. But they still feel obvious, and worse, unprofessional, I mean I tried to go the whole Lo-Fi route but at least good Lo-Fi artefacts can look nice, my photos feel too stagnant and boring.

For brief two I will probably try to expand on what I have already created in Brief one, although finding something creative and unique is really quite hard for some reason. I have been recently inspired by the idea of using silhouettes as a representation of human form, so if I could find a way to show the parts of my life that are significant within my own self silhouette, but is this a selfie? What is a selfie?
