Project 1 / Depth of Field

This is a link to our first project where we had to use depth of field and frame certain size shots.

Artist Statement

I have always had an infatuation with the tv, film, and modeling industry. When I was a kid I was a model/actress. I wasn't some big time child star, but I did play someone's daughter on Law and Order SVU for like two episodes.

Anyway, through all my experiences on set, whether it was tv, film, or a photoshoot, I came to the conclusion that I loved the camera. As I got older being on the other side of the camera was a lot more appealing to me. Luckily when I decided to switch sides, I was able to get my hands on some really great equipment as my mom is a professional photographer. 


Through her I learned all the ins and outs of the camera. Personally, I have realized that taking pictures is not as interesting as video. So I took it upon myself to learn how to shoot the best video I could on the cameras I had available to me. Then a client found out I started doing video and she booked me for the party.  Next thing I know I am filming a Sweet 16 and that job led to another and I started booking more events. I do have a website with short clips of my recent work.

I am really excited about this class because there is always room for improvement. I hope to learn about recording sound, that is probably the one portion of video production I struggle in the most. 

Also I have an interest in documentaries. When I watch a documentary my mind starts thinking about the composition of the shots and if the director is leaving anything out on purpose to fulfill an agenda or prove their personal point. I love conspiracy theories especially when they are explained or exposed in a documentary.
 The first documentary I saw outside of school was Fed Up and I recommend watching this film. Its available on Netflix. I would love to be a part of a documentary. There is something that just feels so organic and un - calculated when you watch a good documentary, but in reality we, as Hunter Film/Media students, know how much work went into that particular shot. Anyway I am done ranting about documentaries...
