SHOTS FOR INSPIRATION FOR MY DOCUMENTARY



 https://youtu.be/Fxa3j8bK-c4?t=17






I realized that after my first interview, I needed more creative shots in my documentary, so I researched some ideas that  I could refer to in the filming of my second interview. The fact that my documentary follows themes of identity means that a fair few of my inspiration shots included mirrors and 'masks'. I didn't want to 'copy' these shots, as I still wanted to maintain my integrity of my documentary filming, so I only used these photos as a reference for how I wanted my shots to look. A few of these shots I filmed, however thought suited m documentary elsewhere, for instance the overlay of a face and hands was used as a reference for my profile picture for my social media minor task. Making these shots as creative as possible was especially important because I felt that the filming of my first interviewee was quite generic and didn't challenge any conventions. In the filming of my second interviewee I used both mirrors and a projector to create visually creative shots.
