Group Selection

I have elected to work with ShanShan again for this project as I did for the first one. Although we have worked together before, I feel that this opportunity to work with her again will give me a chance to imnprove on some of the team dynamics during this project. This choice will be just as beneficial as working with someone completely new, in my opinion, since it provides a chance to improve, rather than start anew. I am interested to see if and how we will work better together this time 'round. Even though I'm going to be working with ShanShan once more, both of us will be working with Francis for the first time, and it will be a new experience from which I am sure we will grow.

Reflection

Having finished all the shooting, I feel that I have been able to capture what I set out to do. In reality, this piece was really about me, and because the feelings are so personal in nature, I felt that only I could play the main character in this piece. That made the shooting a bit more difficult, because I had to go over all the shots with whomever was assisting me at the time, and I had to do multiple test shots for every one to get them right. The soundscore works well with the shots, especially because it starts out discordant and melancholic. When it gets into the soft, warm, dreamy music, the viewer has just realised the emotion that the character is feeling, then it progresses into a daydream.

Inspirational Images

The following images are all ones I have taken in the past year, as I enjoy going out and enjoying nature, and would rather be there than inside (or in class). These images have inspired some of the scenes in the project, and served as a starting point for the mood I want to portray.
