Proposal for Project 1

For the first assignment I want to develop the idea that I worked on with the series of pictures I took for the first assignment. I took a series of 12 pictures during the course of my day. I didn’t appear in the pictures, but they represented things I would see as I went about that day. For the first project I want to use Morgan’s idea of doing the same thing with video - I want to shoot short 30 second to one minute scenes during a normal day. I will do them reasonably candidly - other than possibly using a clamp light to make sure the scene is lit, and positioning the camera so that something interesting is in view, I will just switch on the camera and record what is going on at a particular time during the day. I won’t appear in any of the shots, although other people will. I record sound, so that the viewer will “overhear” conversations.

My intention is to create a short piece of video that focuses on the ordinary parts of a particular day in a particular life.
