In my self-portrait, I chose to represent myself by recording a video of myself playing the piano. I choose to do this as my self portrait because most people don't know that I play the piano. When we watched examples of other portraits in my class I was really inspired by Regan's because to take a baking video in two minutes probably took a lot of prior planning. This shows that Regan would be a great director to have on a team in the future.
There are many elements shown in my self portrait. I used books and a table sitting next to our piano to get my phone placed at the correct angle so your could see me and the piano. In addition I thought the reflection in the piano was cool so I tried to make it so you could also see my hands through the reflection. I also had to wait till the rain stopped so I would have good natural lighting form the window in that room.
In conclusion, I hope that by watching this my classmates learn that I am musically talented and that I have strong perseverance. I think that my video quality was pretty good but my piano was not the very best because I have not practiced in awhile. A challenge I faced while making this was getting a good angle of getting both the piano and myself in frame. Next time I might try to use a tripod and have someone film me so the camera can move and show different shots. Overall from making this and watching others I learned a lot about my classmates and basic filming techniques to improve my camera skills.
