I'll be doing my project taking intimate portrait shots in the cinematographic style of American Beauty. Throughout the movie there are portrait shots focusing on a specific character's face in tight frame, either with a dark background or with something emotive blurred out. Besides this, there are several shots focusing on body parts close up, illustrating sexuality and beauty. I plan to capture a combination of these two types of shots using the color red and roses which are a consistent visual theme throughout the movie
