Final Week - Video


1. When I was a kid, I experimented with stop motion animation and made videos of my dolls. I want to currently make art films now. 

2. The quality would be better and it would be easier to control. 

3. Art film! Anything involving a kind of Wes Anderson approach. Overall I don't have a specific idea yet.

4. Having a scene were someone is admiring something or when you enhance on something. 

5. Instrumental music because I also might want to do a silent film.

Lay Flat Photography

1. Bird's eye view, Becoming the subject, Eye level, and Worm's eye view.
2. Bird's eye view is a higher perspective (above ground) view. Becoming the subject is a perspective from the main subject, eye level is a middle ground flat level, and worm's eye view is a below ground lower view. 
3. "it's all in the details" and "adding textures" is advised. 
4. A box with a skull on it and various assortments of food.
5. Many but it depends on how it's framed and the main subject. 
6. Art supplies on my desk, a painting, a book, a field of flowers. 
7. Trying not to have a distracting background and having an obvious main focus. 

Pictures I took:
