Production Blog: Finding Pictures

To start this project I needed to think about everything I had written down in my last blog post. I had to decide to first work on music, pictures, video, or figuring out how to edit. I wanted to start this project in the simplest way so I decided to find pictures to compile together. These pictures need to show a bit about me and who I am so I need to be very decisive in my choices. The first thing I decided to do was scroll through my camera roll. This was the obvious choice as that is where I have the most pictures of myself. For this project I am going to start from when I was younger and have the media be on a chronological timeline. Given this fact I scrolled all the way to the bottom of my camera roll. I haven't had an iphone for long so this only took me back to 2019. After seeing that my oldest pictures I chose to look somewhere else for pictures. After failing to find old pictures I went to my parents to try and find pictures of me when I was little or doing some sort of activities. After a bit of time she sent me several pictures of me doing gymnastics. I had to pick one or two which represented that time of my life the best. I decided on a picture of me getting a gold medal for vault, and a picture of me holding a banner for my team. I still want to try and find videos to use but I'm saving that for later on. Now that I've hit the key point of gymnastics I was looking for pictures of me playing hockey. This was a lot easier of a task as I post pictures and videos of me playing hockey often. So, I went to my Instagram page and picked out 3 or 4 pictures to decide between. In the end I ultimately decided on the team picture I did in my first blog, and for the second photo I chose a picture of me lining up for a face off. I chose the first picture because it shows me with my team and the community aspect of the sport. The reason I chose the second picture was because it was focused on me individually. Finally, for the last picture I wanted to choose a random picture to represent me that isn't specifically of me. I decided to use a picture of my favorite album, "Is This It" by The Strokes. I decided on this as I like the continuity of using the same pictures I had in my first and second blog to tie all of the blog posts together and music is a very big aspect of my life.
