Self-Portrait & Story Boarding

For the Self Portrait assignment I tried to remember to "keep it simple" - something I always have trouble doing. I thought that something clear and minimal would be the most effective for this. Shot of me in the bathroom , shot of me exiting stall, walk to mirror, look at self, self critical, sigh of defeat, exit. I felt a simple intimate portrait would be clear and telling. I was a little intimidated when I saw the complexity of some of the other student's work, but really happy when someone pointed mine out first and described the intent that I was going for - even through my rushed, overly self-conscious performance.

It was a good exercise in planning and camera work.

What I really enjoyed was storyboarding! I am now considering that for a career path. I'm going to research it more and see if there are any classes available in the film dept.
