For my self portrait I really want to film everything with a GoPro. I
really like the way the image has that fish eye look.
My life is very chaotic and stressful at times and when I was young I
struggled to find a way to calm myself and relieve some stress. I always knew
that just simply sitting outdoors alone or not made me begin to relax. Then I
started swimming in the 3rd grade and continued to swim year round
until I was 18 then became a coach for a few years. I even worked at a pool
facility year round for 5 years. Once I reached an age where stress became more
of an issue I realized that I love swimming not only because I love the exercise
and the sport itself but also because I realized that it was my way to escape
even though it was just for a few min. Swimming is my meditation.
For this project I want to use the GoPro to film various shots of me
swimming laps in a pool. I want to have multiple underwater shots and some out
of the water too. I hope to start my video with a dive into the pool and end
with my hand touching the wall at the end of the swim.
For the chaotic part I wasn’t really sure what to film until someone
started talking about the fair. I planned on going anyway so this gives me a
reason. I don’t know what I will film so it will probably just be everything.
Somehow I want layer the two images to show how swimming pulls me away
form all my life struggles.
