out of focus

i want my self portrait to show the abstraction of my world when i don't have my contacts or -6.00 prescription glasses on. it's not a serious threat in my life, but it is kind of scary to think that if someone came into my house when i'm sleeping i wouldn't be able to open my eyes and see them, ahh! it's funny too though, i've gotten used to do alot w/out them but i definitely feel handicapped when i can't see anything more than about a foot away. obviously the focus of the lens is what i'm going to play up the most, but i'm not sure how i'm going to tie it all together yet.

i'm thinking a lot about this assignment, and i keep looking back at olivers because i really enjoy watching it and i hope that it will inspire e to making something more artistic and creative instead of just daily shots out of focus, boring. 

also after working on our last project, where we were able to manipulate and distort a lot of images, it makes me want to abstract my film to the point where the image isn't necessarily clear anymore. i have some super dope prismatic glasses that create rainbow reflections around sources of light and i really want to incorporate that. it will be easy to do i expect. 

i think that i will structure my self portrait around the fact that everyday i wake up put some contacts in and then at the end of the day i take them out, throw them away - usually on the floor next to my bed (eww)- and then all over...so i'll probably start the film out with a few short clips that represent the process i guess, i don't really care about playing it up that much but i want to use it more to create a rhythm. 

sound wise i have no idea what i'm going to do, probably a sort of voice over monologue like lexi did, but this is not as emotional to me obviously from hers so i'm not sure how to play that out. i need to find out more guidelines on what music we can use and what foley will help create my portrait.  

i need to start working on this.
