Embedded Files
In my independent study, I'm focusing on film production rather than traditional pictures. While still keeping the basic elements of photography I will be producing digital stories and stop motion videos to diversify my filming experience. In these videos I want to focus on visual emphasis and skillful video editing, mainly because what I want in producing film is for the audience to feel what I feel. I want to express my personal life, my sense of humor, and my fast-paced energy and let viewers see the world through my own lens.

Artist Refelction
1. Artist Statement: I chose a huge project and sort of dove headfirst into animation, which was vastly improved from my past attempts at it. My art was much more visually pleasing, focused, and expressive in shot composition.
2 & 3. Description and Analysis: I used rule of thirds specifically in the "I just killed two people" shot of Adam with an in-game knife with the placement of the floor, Adam, and the bodies in the back (as well as great perspective). I used value and space well too, being that it's black and white and (had I gotten to edit the video together) would have edited the objects to move in their allowed space. I had cropping issues with the editing software I was using on my iPad with cropping and my home computer was slow beyond reason, so I decided to show what it would have been ideally instead of compromise.
4. Interpretation: Well it's more parts of one whole work that had never come to fruition, but it symbolized a lot to me about my personal life and my friendship with Adam. These were excerpts from a video he had shown me when we had started getting closer as friends, and to me, it's a representation of my personal growth in making friends close enough to do an entire art project on them. It's personal, yes, but it's the truth.
5. Evaluation: I'm extremely pleased with the quality I put into each frame, I only regret not having the resources and time to make it a full video. Again, it holds really special meaning to me and my own history, so I suppose the audience I did this for is a crowd of just myself.
