Project 3: Video art - A Day in My Life

 

A Day in My Life

I wanted to showcase a more basic day in my life, using a voiceover to either narrate the day, or to depict my thoughts as an inner voice as the days go along The ups, the downs, and how realistic and/or humbling it can be. I would consider it to be categorized as a document themed video, where everyone is observing (or witnessing) certain actions and videos I shoot throughout the day. Each video clip I take is either the first or second time taking the shot, which I feel keeps the video raw, real and authentic to hopefully portray how a typical day goes. I also wanted to showcase different camera movements/shots in relation to first person and second person views.

Not everything in my day is planned from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep, so to keep that as real as possible I make sure the seemingly sporadic clips not only have a timeline, but a meaning or checkpoint to the day that may be reflected on later. I find I will think about certain things later on in the day and reflect on how the situation played out.
