Torie's perspective video project

Perspective is an aspect that always needs to be considered when creating any form of art, but for this project I wanted my viewer to see perspective as a concept more than just a point of view.  The concept behind my piece is filming a very simple topic, drinking a water bottle, at many different angles.  Once the angles are filmed they are arranged and overlapped in an interesting way.  One the viewer sees the this simple task displayed in this way the viewer is able to understand that it is not simple at all.  Nothing is ever simple when looked at through different view points.    

self-reflection by Nathalie

My video is about self-reflection and how I see myself. It is also expressing a point of view of what is going inside my head rather than about what other people see and what I let them see of myself. I am showing the viewer how I experience myself and the world around me. The different frames represent different thoughts or trains of thought that sometimes overlap and create new images. I am torn into different directions and my mind is not always clear like a mirror, it is more puzzled than a broken mirror. I put on face-paint to show other people an image of myself that I want them to see, but in the end this is not the true personality, so the picture is broken.
To sum up, I really wanted to give the viewer an inside view of myself, an honest and not manipulated view of how I see myself and what is going on in my mind.

Hearts by Isabella- POV project

This video is a combination of different themes to create an abstract concept. It contains different symbols of love: the hearts drawn on post-its, the lips, the washing of the hands, and the girl looking in the mirror. These scenes put together show the nuances of love; we see it on a superficial level with the post-its, and we also see it on a deeper and darker level with the slightly forced, pained smiling. The washing of the hands seems to show someone violently cleansing themself of something, and the girl looking in the mirror seems to be staring intently at her own appearance, perhaps thinking that mirror will reveal something about herself. In this video, I wanted to experiment with various visuals and symbolic images to go against the commonplace notion that we have about love. I wanted to portray its multifaceted nature.

Ned Film Project Rough Draft

A very rough version of my film project. This was used to test the possibility of a "zoom" project. This test focused on the issues present with filming and with editing. If this idea will be used for the final I will need to reshoot entirely. This would be best done in a different location because of the human traffic. I will most likely change my idea for this project because of the challenges that this idea created.

Day and Night by Frank Lawrence

My project was supposed to explore the differences between various places around campus that we see and go to everyday and examine the differences between when it's light out and when it's dark out.  Whether it was the gas station, the dorms, or even the quad everything is different at night and during the day.  My piece also touches on the different ways people act when they're out at night or when they're up in the morning.  The film is an exploration of the effect time has on people.

Unedited_Beauty - Samantha Tutino

My project was supposed to convey the contradicting, stereotypical ideas behind beauty. When asked about beauty most people will give the answer they think is expected: what's on the inside. However, many people secretly feel that beauty still is in outward appearance, mainly because a part of it is. But when that is all one has, it won't make them happy, shown by the continued, permanent frown on the girl who has make-up on, and followed by the question "...so what's the real point?" If make-up and other "beauty" projects don't make us any happier, then why do we spend so much money and time on them?
