This is what I'm doing for my Self-Portrait

The basic idea behind my self-portrait is that I want it to show how I have grown, and continue to grow since my boyfriend returned from deployment. It's kind of going to be a collaboration between the two of us, which was obviously not possible before.

After shooting on film for the first time, I want to experiment more with it! I am going to shoot some stills of Tj, and have him take some of me. They'll be used rhythmically in the film. I plan to use a clip of a song for some of the film, and I will create a sound design for the rest that uses natural sounds and words from our mouths. I'm also going to use a lot of close-ups. I want to write out statements as well, sort of like in "Jumpa Jumpa" or I will just add text and edit it so it looks cool.

I'm contemplating cutting my hair on camera, but that's probably not gonna happen.

Edit wise, I will be pulling inspiration from a few music videos. I want this film to be simple, but elegant and dynamic.
