AV Selfportrait

From Vision - Multimedia Education

Self portrait is a very good work to do during the youth. The proces of autoexpresion, to define who you are is veary important to youngsters and video is a really good tool to explore it.

Self portrait can be use to find the own point of view on the matter that one have more acces: oneself. Then there are some things to be aware: How do I characterize me? Which things on myself and the others are part of my identity? My body, my ideals, my neigbourghood, my country, my fammily, my favorite things....Then the video can work on a essay form in wich one can explore all this things. Being in front of a camera is a strong experience. The camera capture us, we can search us on our history pictures and try to find the punctum, the strong point that is in the image as Roland Barthes explain it in his "lucid camera ", or we can follow Cristina Nuñez's method on selfportrait [1] or we can portrait ourselfs if we were another as the Universitat Autonoma Students did [2]
