Evaluation Write-up

I think as far as taking the pictures went well. All my surroundings went along as planned so pretty, much everything went as planned. I know I struggled with my first idea because I knew it would not be school worthy do to the fact it had beer cans in it so I changed my mind a few times. I finally watched several videos on youtube and decided to do my video using tea light candles. I would probably give myself more time and even maybe give myself a bigger range to work with rather then just in the same general area. I know that if the weather would have been nice and not windy at night then I was wanting to make it so that the candles made trails up and down my street and around the outside of the house starting their journey from my house and over to our neighbors. I will just have to keep that in mind for next time I suppose.

Character Creation

For my character I guess I would have to say that my character was just mainly a candle.

Story Line

My storyline I guess would be somewhat of a journey through life for a candle and all the possibilities a candle has to do.

Backdrop

For my backdrop I basically just decided to use different rooms in my house to make the candles do trails all over. I started with the coffee table and them ventured onto the side table then the speaker and then to the window seal. From that point I moved them into the bathroom and took pictures of them moving on the toilet and then the sink.
