Fall 2022 Assignment 3: Sequencing

I sort of ended up doing this for my second assignment too. I tried to replicate some stuff I liked best I could, but a few of these were rushed so I’m not terribly happy with how it turned out, oh well.

I Wake Up One Day

I'm shaving in my bathroom mirror, shot from behind my back over my shoulder from a slightly high angle. The outside of the bathroom is all dark.

Welcome to Family Weekend

I stand reflected in front of a university building whose glass doors are decorated with a banner "Welcome to Family Weekend!". I am standing alone at the edge of the shadow cast by the building and the whole view is slightly askew.

A View From Afar

A view of the mall of CMU's engineering building from very high up, as viewed through a concrete window. Assorted colors of fall trees create a nostalgic atmosphere.

PUSH FOR HELP

An emergency blue light post at night. It is a close-up shot of the lower blue light illuminating a red "push for help" button
iPhone 11 Pro Max. Lots of postprocessing needed on the raw, can't believe I held the phone steady for that long of a shutter, the regular camera app's auto-stabilized 1s exposures are a lot better but this still looks cool I think

Somewhere Else

God rays obscure a moderately lush forest at midday
Nikon D300 50mm. I forget exactly how i got this shot, the light effects are really cool

Where To?

Driveway lightly covered in leaves looks lush from surrounding trees and foliage. Some turned-over trashcans and a "beware of dog" sign are visible in the extremities.

Here?

A zig-zag of a green metal rail leads the viewers eyes up some outdoor stairs through the forest to a clearing in the trees. Beginning of fall leaves looks lush green, yellow, and orange.

Made it :)

A blue swingset next to an outdoor pavilion in the middle of a lush green grassy field surrounded by fall trees. An empty jacket and backpack are on the child swing.

Classmates called this one a little somber yet hopeful, that is sort of what I was going for so overall not too bad I think.
