Since I have started to put together my video, I have found that I am struggling to shoot clips to create an interesting video without repeating them and it becoming boring. As a way around this I have decided to split the video into three smaller shorts. Each one will be 30 seconds – 1 …

Video Development
I shot some more footage of nature, which I feel has turned out a lot better than the first. In terms of quality I am a lot happier with the work, but also the way that each clips feeds into the next. The content is quite peaceful, with each plant swaying gently in the wind. …
Mind Map and Idea
I have decided to defiantly continue with the idea of video. As I had many ideas which I did not know how to continue with, I decided to create a mind map with them all on so it was easier to visualise. I will create a video based on social anxiety/mental health, however this will …
Research – Daniel Regan
Although I want to carry on mostly with video, the idea of photo books still interests me. After doing some more research into them I found photographer Daniel Regan who produced a book on his own issues with mental illness.

Personal Experimentation – Continuation (Collage)

Although I am not completely happy with these images, the concept works well for me. I wanted to focus on the idea of …
Research – Where is home?
‘I don’t know how to be alone. There is a longing that I have never addressed. For even as a child, I knew I was nothing without “you”. I always needed someone to myself, who was exclusively for me. The attachment to “you” is part of what composes who “I” am. It’s not that “I” …
Research – American Horror Story
I have always found the introductions to American Horror Story intriguing. In relation to my work I am influenced by the way that quick bursts of images have been used, sometimes not left long enough for the viewer to make out what is being shown, whichI feel adds to the suspense. The context is random …
Moving Image
I am looking at experimenting with moving image with my work. Although I still want to produce a book, the idea of producing short videos to go along side the work appeals to me. I feel that the idea of social anxiety cannot be fully felt through just stills, and therefore adding both sound and …
