Equipment
I plan to record the video using my iPhone in Cinematic Mode. I am choosing this because the quality that cinematic mode portrays is surprisingly really good and it will be easier to record on my own without any help. I will have a tripod for stabilization and more importantly to be able to achieve camera movement without much shaking.
Visual Material
Since I am portraying a story in the past, a lot of my video and pictures are pre-existing shots. However, I will be able to incorporate visuals in the present that portray my story as well. I believe having a mix of both will achieve the feeling that I want the viewer to have as well as give an understanding to my backstory of the journey. Being that most of the visual material I will capture video of is school related I love that I have so many places on campus where I can shoot them. I am most excited to shoot the scene with the inspiring messages at the end!
