Perspective Project Prep Work


For this project, you will be telling the story of an inanimate object, either from its point of view, as it narrates its own story and interacts with other objects, or as a 3rd person documentary style “human interest” piece, with B-Roll, voice-over, interviews with the object, etc. Be creative, be weird.

Before you start, there is some prep work with perspectives that I’d like you to do. The actual project will be due next Wednesday (deadline Friday)

Take a look at these videos, and for each one, write what new meaning you get from each of the different perspectives you see.

Write about what different meaning you get from each of these shots.



Then, find footage from one of your hobbies/interests that uses multiple perspectives (at least 2), and write about how each of those different perspectives shows you something different.
