Self portrait statement

My self portrait

        

        I chose to represent my "self-portrait" the way I did because I though this would be a fun and creative way to show my personality. Before even watching the video you can tell I am committed and prepared. It was also fun to walk around the house showing more about me. I really wanted to show I am a well rounded person. Some other portraits I enjoyed had preparation put into them and mostly focused on one part of their life.
        I chose to walk around the house like giving a tour as if I am giving a "tour of my life". I had my dad record me like the audience was following me around and focusing at all the spots I wanted everyone to see. This shows I wanted a lot of me shown in a short, entertaining amount of time.
        This process took a couple hours to plan and execute. I had to invite people over (the two girls at the end) and I had to work with my dads schedule. Many of my dads ideas I worked with in this video also. I hope others gained that I am a hard worker with creative ideas and they will want to be in a group with me. I do think this video achieved this outcome. one of the biggest challenges was timing everything correct and getting everything prepared before the video. I also had to collaborate with my dad who thought he was the director but he wasn't.
        Next time I will do a little more preparing each time we have to go through a shot so I don't have to take as many takes. I may ask for the help of more people just to get a better outcome. overall, I learned things about recording and things about myself in this process.
