Project 9: Utopia/Dystopia Video

This project required us to shoot 3-5 second clips that implied either a utopian or dystopian Portland. Using the definitions of a dystopia and utopia, we had to shoot people, plants, objects, buildings, etc sing different camera angles to explore more unique and creative ways to film. We then edited our clips in iMovie to form a 30 second video each for a utopia and dystopia.

Utopia Video

In this utopia video, I wanted to make Portland feel very sunny and carefree. I filmed really bright subjects to show happiness and a "perfect world".

Dystopia Video

In this dystopia video, we wanted Portland to feel very post-apocalyptic with cloudy skies and dreariness. We filmed old buildings and graffiti in order to achieve this scene.
