Portrait of a Place

So for my portrait of a place, I explored Downtown Tuscaloosa. Although Downtown Tuscaloosa is quite large, I wanted to show it from the average student's perspective. To a student here, Downtown is really just Univ.Blvd, and Tenneman Square. Downtown is basically just a grouping of bars, restaurants, and shops in a L-shaped block.

I wanted a lot of movement. I wanted a driving shot but realized the JVC 100 was not well suited for movement. A GoPro would have been the best camera for this project. Having a DP to work with felt much better than pulling director/DP double duty. I like directing much more, so I liked and benefited from having a partner be my project's DP.
