For this week's task, I decided to shoot my 100 photos in an alley leading up to my flat, stopping along the way for a snack. The owner of the cafe was cool with me taking photos, but he didn't want me interfering with or taking photos of any customers. This made it a little hard, as I had to wait for people to order and leave, and I had to move out of the way of the customers and workers. We also had a fire drill halfway through my shoot! I think that the portion of the my project in the cafe was a little disjointed.
The rest of the shoot, walking up the stairs and across the street, was relatively easy, but I had to be weary of people walking past me, and where people were in my photos. I'm pretty pleased with the way the video turned out.
Some difficulties I had were finding the correct aperture for the photos. Not all of them are perfect, especially in the cafe where I was a bit rushed. Also, a technical problem I had was the changes from photo to video. In the video, some of the photos look pixelated. The photos that have large chunks of one color in them look really strange. However, these photos don't look bad when they're opened as jpgs or in photoshop. I'm not really sure what caused the change in quality.
Overall, I found that I was able to walk pretty far in 100 steps, although my video is actually more like 110 steps. I thought It would have been strange to end the video right at 100 steps, so I kept the extra few in there. The photos were, for the most part, continuous, although there are parts when they're jumpy. I played around with the frame rate to see if that helped with continuity, and it definitely looked better with a slower frame rate. Neither too fast nor too slow looked good, so I managed to find a happy medium.
