Welcome to JRN 521!

Due February 5

Make a video self profile highlighting your best photography and video. Length: 1:30 to 2:00.

• Collect your best work. Decide which single images, picture stories and video you would like to include and discuss. 
• Experiment with your creativity.
• Do not use mediocre work.
• Edit visuals first then speak to the visuals. Or. Write out your thoughts while looking at your photographs. Record it and then fill in the visuals.
• Use your creativity to create a video profile highlighting your work in a unique way that will provide a marketing tool for you.
• Share stories about specific photographic experiences. 
• Discuss your vision and passion. Why do you want to be a photographer?
• Help your buddy produce their video.
• Be yourself.
• Your audience is a potential client or employer.
• Use music sparingly. Do not overpower your voice with music.
• Professionally light your video interview of yourself. Or use self portraits. Or you can use the technique from the second video in this post. See 2:27 of Atbin Eslami’s video
• If you show an interview of yourself, it must be a well lit strong visual video with no distracting or annoying background. Use a telephoto lens. Shoot two or three shots simultaneously to give you editing advantages.
• The audio of yourself speaking must be technically perfect.
