"Places matter. Their rules, their scale, their design include or exclude civil society, pedestrianism, equality, diversity (economic and otherwise), understanding of where water comes from and garbage goes, consumption or conservation. They map our lives.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics
TODAY:
- Create a shot list with your partner! Plan to shoot 12 shots just in case. Hold each shot for at least 10 seconds (you can edit it shorter later). This template might help. Detail not only what you're shooting but how.
- WHAT: Think carefully about what you wish to convey. It could be an emotional tone you feel in the location (claustrophobia, fear, energy); or it could be that you are interested in the quality of light in the space; or perhaps what intrigues you is what goes on there; or maybe you like the architectural details, or the colors; you could also contrast interior with exterior, light and dark, movement and stillness... it’s up to you!
- HOW: Think about what camera position, shot size and composition will work best for each shot. Do not zoom!
- Shoot your project with a partner.
- Download and encode your material, watch your clips.
Bring your USB drives to class again next week! We will begin editing.
