Beautiful Hygiene

Hygiene is a very essential routine in daily living. In the United States, Americans tend to pamper themselves, going beyond required hygiene behaviors. This film concentrations on 3 areas of the body: face, feet, and legs. It is a step by step approach to capturing the use of skin and body products that aids in the soothing and relaxation of oneself.

Experimental Film

While slowly approaching the sink I mixed the facial cleanser and water into my hands. I softly worked this mixture into a foam lather and smoothed it onto my face and neck gently. After about 2 mins of contact with my face, I rinse it off throughly.Next, I moistened a cotton ball with astringent and stroked over my face and neck, repeatedly. Apply a small amout to entire face and neck.

Legs...Squeeze lotion into palm of hand. Smooth on thick, even layer to cover hair (wash hands immediate after application). Leave lotion on for 3 minute. Gently wipe off lotion with a damp washcloth. Rinse skin throughly with lukewarm water in shower. Pat Dry

Feet...soak-Pour foot soak into a gallon of warm water. Soak feet. Rinse feet and Towel Dry.//scrub-Apply to feet with special attention to hard or callused areas. Gently rub onto feet. Rinse throughly with warm water.// cream-Massage on feet. Reapply as needed.

the Cooking Kitchen

A kitchen is a very warm, inviting environment while preparing food for consumption. With many things going on at once, it actively containing all 5 senses: smell, sight, taste, touch, and sound. Somewhat instructional based, my video will focus on all 5 senses. Preparing a meal: Italian chicken, mac and cheese, stewed potatoes, green beans, cornbread, and chocolate pie.

Experimental/Food

chicken-Preheat oven 350. Fill a bowl with cold salt water. Gently, rinse chicken in cold water. Place chicken into salt water for 30 minutes. Once out of salt water, rerinse and season. Place seasoned chicken in pan and pour Italian dressing over. Let bake for 1hr.
Fill a pot with water and place on stove to boil. Put 1 ham hock and sliced butter into boiling water. Pour can of green beans into water. Let boil until water had evporated.

I-40

As I have done these past 3 years, this weekend I went to my hometown in Columbia, TN. I take Interstate 40 East toward Nashville and it is a 3-hour drive. During that 3-hour drive, I turn up the music and jam..(dance, sing, road rage, fart, talk to myself, etc). I become a totally different person in this comfort zone all by myself, it's amazing. SO...maybe re-enacting this scene.

Get in car (rushing). Start up car, turn radio volume up, check cell phone for time, and put seat belt on. Begin driving.. search radio stations, then make a phone call to mom (60sec conversation). Grab cds from console and search through. Insert 6 cds into cd changer. Begin dancing and singing to each song that is played (if needed, skip tracks). Occasionally check cell phone, drink soda, and eat candy.

Place IdeaZ

My place video is about a Sense of Place. What is place?? Well, place is detected by several components which is discussed in my mini film. I printed off my ideas about place: definitions, quotes, etc; and created an amateur slide show using a cheesy filter. My overall goal was for this film to be viewed as a silent, instructional video, using text, rather than action. Although not completely silent, the page turning is quite obvious and absurd at times.

Sense of Place

The word place is a particular Location at a particular Time.

Whether it be a Physical, Emotional, or Psychological PLACE.

I detect these notions my using 5 senses: Sight, Touch, Smell, Hear, & Taste.

Place can be asso by identity (gender, cultural, age, generational, etc)
