Course: Creative Multimedia Programming
Module: Digital Video

Location: Dock Road, Athlunkard Street, Thomas Street, Skate Park, King John's Castle area.


For assignment 1, I propose the idea of Limerick's street art. Limerick's street art plays a positive impact throughout the city as it allows artist's to showcase their skills while also brightening up the city! The vibrant and colourful areas include: Dock Road, Thomas Street, King John's Castle and Limericks known 'Graffiti Street' located on Athlunkard Street.

To capture this street art, I must take a numerous shots and shot sequences. A shot is a small unit of unbroken recording, while a shot sequence is known as modifying multiple shots to create a cooperative passage. This video will be created using multiple shots. It will be conveyed using closed frames. Closed frames are defined as all graphics will be within the camera frame.

To develop an illusion within the video I will use deep focus. Deep focus will provide sharp detail as the camera has a certain focal point.

When filming it is important to know the shot size. I will use a degree of lens magnification. The magnification will create a feeling of being closer of further away from the shot.
