Ways of Seeing.


There are numerous ways for people to view things in life.  Sometimes we see certain things or even certain people for that matter, differently than we might have once see it before.  Sometimes if we see things a  lot of times we begin to see things in a new way it conveys a new message to us. Take the bible for example.  No matter how many times you read it completely there will always be something new for you to find out and learn for it.  One verse that you know by heart can easily have a whole entire new meaning to them.  The 3 ways of seeing I chose to write about are imagine, create and visualize.  I chose these 3 because I feel that they all go very well with one each other since they are very similar.  When I imagine I what to do for a project I try to think as big as possible.  The more passionate I am about a project the bigger the idea is usually. I usually think way above my abilities to make it possible from the resources I have available to me.  Sometimes I like to look at other media pieces to help me get the creative juices flowing.  Sometimes when I am out driving around the scenery usually catches my eye just like it would for anybody else.  I particularly love the look of the city night life.  Seeing all of the static and moving lights together makes for a pretty good photograph or shot for a film.  It sometimes gets me thinking if I was working on a project how can I make this particular shot work in my piece.  Sometimes it can be the very thing that you base your whole entire script around.  Sometimes listening to music can give us a new way to see things or help inspire us to create something visually.  After I’m done imagining and visualizing what my piece will be the next step is to give it a physical form to bring it to life.  This is my favorite part of making media.  Sometimes in the creating process, what you produce may not always what you visualized it to be originally.  When you put the power or imagination and visualization together there’s no telling what you can create.
