FINAL: Leaves

Videos taken fromOct. 18-23, 2006
E Capitol Drive and Oakland Avenue, Milwaukee

I use two videos from my original postings for this video montage as well as other video that I had taken, but I found fit this video well. In this series of videos I wanted to accent only one thing, the leaves, or flowers in some cases. All that I wanted to stick out was just the leaves or plants that I was filming rather than anything else in the background (street, sky, cars, etc.) To do this, I used a lot of extreme close-ups so the leaves would take up much of the foreground of the frame, but I tried to mix those with some medium shots and some long shots. In editing, I turned contrast levels up and brightness levels down, attempting to make the leaves stand out more starkly in each short video.
