My idea for my self-portrait is actually quite simple. In my mind, it starts out with me opening up
my laptop first thing in the morning, half asleep, trying to “complete” an
unfinished assignment due within the hour.
This basically emphasizes my terrible habit of leaving things for the
last minute. The film will seem as if I
am vlogging, then there will be sporadic cuts to random videos of myself doing
a variety of activities that I do (or attempt to do). From hearing my voice through a small
microphone gaming, to the indoor soccer courts in the Rec Center, to even going
back home for a couple of days and spending time with family and loved ones, I
will be putting a variety of clips. The
way I would like to present the portrait is something that is so sporadic and
busy, which is really all I am in this very moment. I believe with that kind of central focus, it
should create a film that would describe me in the best way I know how. I seem to be mysterious and straight forward when
people first meet me, so I would think that using the vlog scene to capture a
bland version of myself would really encapsulate on what would it be to meet me
for the first time (in a sense). That being
said, I think the use of my phone camera
and scanner would be a strange and stylistic touch. With the inclusion of my laptop webcam, I
believe that the changes of imagery would add an experimental taste of how
society films themselves using technology that we have access to and even use
on a daily basis. I do not believe it
would be difficult, but fun experiences to have people question me as to why I
am filming myself in random times throughout the day.
