Day 3: Body Language & Fit the Format
TAKE ACTION NOW
Decide if you want to sit or stand for your About Me video.
Get your body language and Handography poses in your body.
Record a Range Of Movement video in 16:9/landscape/wide-screen. Do this just for you. No need to share it with us in the community group.
Create a short video in your set with your sound either sitting or standing in the middle of the frame and talk about what you do as a creative person. Tell us your job title, when was the first moment you thought of pursuing your career, 1 thing you’ve learned along the way, 1 thing you’re proud of that you achieved, 1-2 things about your creative space, and then finish strong. Here’s the pre-written script:
Hi I’m (your name.) I’m a (job title). The first time I even considered doing (your job) was when I (tell us 1 or 2 sentences). Since then I’ve learned that (one thing you’ve learned in 1 sentence). I’m proud to be able to (one thing you’re proud of in one sentence). Here in my studio/office/creative space is where the magic happens. (1-2 sentences about your creative space or tools you use - computer, mic, camera, etc.) My studio/office/creative space feels like (1 sentence on how your studio feels). Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Then upload your video to our community group.
