Project 5: Video Self-Portraits (due 7/24)


Gillian Wearing, Self-Portrait, 2000, chromogenic development print

As a group, create video self portraits of each team member. You need 30-60 seconds of footage per team member.

1. Start by thinking about format -- we will be watching these portraits as one video sequence, so will they all be the same? Will they all be different? Will they start or end the same way then diverge?

2. Once you have a plan, start storyboarding your individual sequences. Your storyboards should be 4 in. x 3 in., to match the 4 x 3 size ratio of NTSC video.

3. Then begin shooting. We will go over how to edit in iMovie during class tomorrow.

4. Edit your individual segments into one finished piece, then output them to miniDV tape.

5. Create a mastered DVD of your project in iDVD (we will go over this in class tomorrow too).
