Metaphor of Self _ Multi-media Canvas
Part 1: The Film
Shooting OPTIONS…
You should show all THREE aspects of yourself in your roll of film.
BOTH options for your roll MUST INCLUDE at least THREE SELF-PORTRAITS shot in different ways – some lighting/posing ideas:
reflective image, dramatically lit image, ¾ view, silhouetted contour view, or a back lit side view, straight on (well lit) These can be done in the studio if you make prior arrangements.
OPTION 1
1. “PAST” self – interpreations of who you were when you were younger. What are some objects or moments that can help represent those times?
2. “FUTURE” self – interpretations of what and who you want to be in your future – 1, 2 5, 10 years from now. This would be a cool time to play around with your
friends and fun props or places.
3. “CURRENT” - who you feel you are now or how you feel you are perceived. Are you studious, a hipster, jock, over-dramatic, introverted, etc.
OPTION 2
1. “TRUE” self interpretations. This is the self you truly believe you are. Who are you really?
2. “FEARED” self. This is the self you do not want to become, or the aspect of yourself that is dark and frightening. Who do you fear becoming?
3. Your “IDEAL” self. This is the self you dream of becoming. Who or what do you dream of becoming?
BE CREATIVE & HAVE FUN---you are all creative INDIVIDUALS - a one of a kind personalities—look for those things about you to show through in this assignment.
