Reel & Artist Statement

For our final assignment you must edit a 1 minute reel of your work as a videographer - this means all the footage you have shot (in any classes or projects) is allowable. If you are low on content you may create a Director/DP reel but you must specify what you filmed and what you directed.

FOR  YOUR REEL: Keep in mind lots of folks have many different reels for different kinds of jobs they pitch for but for this assignment, choose your favorite shots (for their look/aesthetics) and put them together in a way that represents your style and technical skills.

Search online for some examples:
"Cinematography Reel"
"Director of Photography Reel"

"Videography Reel"


Here are some past 312 reels:
