June 19, 2019: Famous Convo Reflection

Famous Convo Work Reflection: 
I have learned that reenacting a famous performance is more difficult than it may seem. I struggled to mouth the words Vito Acconci did in his work titled “Theme Song” due to the nature of his words. At the start, I thought it may be simple to ramble about deducting the viewer but as I was recording footage, I found it rather difficult to come up with unsettling phrases as he did. 

If given the chance to film the famous convo project once again, I would change the following:
  • I would adjust lighting in the room better so that I’d have to do less color correction throughout the film. 
  • I would consider different color lighting to enhance the footage itself. If I were to have used dim white lighting, the audience would clearly be able to see the makeup and gore. 
  • I would adjust volume of music slightly to make sure that it is not as overbearing, as I would need the audience to hear what I have to say. 
  • I would change the positioning of my body to mimic that of Vito Acconci’s. I feel as though I was too centered in the footage and not laying down on my side as he did.
