A large part of ours lives was once occupied by skateboarding, and this is something I want to reflect on briefly in this shoot. Skateboarding is an amazing past time that is an extremely social sport with no rules to stick by, and as a result it became such a big part of my life (not as much in the past years) and so I want to portray this almost social environment.
I also think it would be fitting to experiment with a short video of Zac skateboarding. I have an old handheld video camera with a fisheye lense, and these lenses are commonly used to film skateboarding videos.
Below is a video made by a group of older Jersey skateboarders. It shows the fun of skateboarding around jersey with friends, and I may use it to inspire my video techniques when making this film, and doing the shoot.
This is an example of this typical shooting style for skateboarding. It focuses on shooting from low down to get a good angle showing us the best view of the skateboarder. I may use this technique when photographing Zac skateboarding.
