Self portrait

 

Evaluation -

Making this project I had lots of fun as it allowed me to get creative while still focusing on introducing me as a person. I have always preferred a more improvised approach to working as I feel it gives a more natural result, however the basic outline of the style and direction of the video was decided through note taking different ideas and aesthetics. The production of the video went swimmingly in terms of making what I could with the space and equipment made available to me, as well as dealing with a cold which left me monotonous, and editing the video wasn't much of a problem at all aside from a few audio balancing hiccups.

If I could change it I would after thinking about newer scene ideas as well as other peoples self portraits including elements I hadn't thought of which I could have incorporated myself. This being said I am still proud of the work I have created in such a short timespan to meet the deadline while also creating a high enough quality video to showcase my life. One major change I would make however would be exploring other aspects of my life other than what is presented in the video.

I definitely enjoyed making this video like all the videos I shoot, and it was nice to break away from the norm of shooting a fictional story-led video and to try something more personal and unique to me. The final product itself is quite funny to watch back and I was happy with it after multiple edits and versions were made into the final result, with the comedy and music segments split apart to keep it tidy but also showcase two different styles of editing and shooting.
