Sharing my output for my elective: Cinematography 🎬
We were tasked to introduce ourselves cinematically, and here’s my artistic statement:
The reason I enrolled in this elective is because I’m already a content creator, and I love taking random videos wherever I go. I’ve branded myself on social media as “mapuWhat,” where I feature my life as an MMA student at Mapúa University. In my four months of creating content, I’ve gotten used to simply setting up my phone and saying my iconic line—if you know, you know.
All of my videos are shot using my mobile phone, and I always try to show who I really am through POV angles, close-up shots, wide shots, and that behind-the-scenes feel. I also experimented with this output, and even though I’ve been trying to shoot and edit cinematically, introducing myself creatively still felt like a different challenge.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed making this output.
Enjoy! 🤭
