Video Work Diary

For this shoot, I was set with the task of shooting the technique of video. For this technique, I was encouraged to capture an image within an image, except for this shoot I would have to use the still image as a frame for the video. For this shoot, I wanted to take a simple technique and present it in a unique way. For the direction in which I wanted to take the image I needed to use a tripod in order to ensure that there was no camera movement between taking the photograph and shooting the video.


This image features an interesting technique as I used a frame to hold the video. I used Premiere pro in order to adjust the size and composition of the video by manipulating the motion panel of the clip. While filming the video I wanted to make the video appear to end in the position of the surrounding image. In order to capture this, I had the person stand still as I took a picture and then remain in place. This would ensure the images match perfectly. As I began filming I had the person place the frame on the floor and walk out of the frame backwards. In premiere pro I reversed the video in order to make it appear as if she picks up the frame and ends in the same position as the surrounding image.

Progression:

If I were to develop this technique, I would use it within the subject of hyperreality. I could replicate the style of a film and show how dramatised the media's depiction of reality is.
