Crop | Headphones&Laptop – virtual class essentials.
Bird’s Eye | She needs to fight sleep before she fights deadlines to work in bed.
Worm’s Eye | Captured – focused face even while in bed.
First Person View | Lack of face-to-face human interaction; boredom.
Skewed Angle | When will this bed life end?
Perspective | The outside world from the student’s eyes.
View Frame | A sneak peek into the student’s bedroom from the outside.
Chiaroscuro | Her day ends with checking the number of new COVID19 cases around the world and kissing a virtual goodnight to loved ones.
Seriality |The continued series of photos of the student eating – studying – sleeping in bed shows how the COVID19 crisis limits her scope of physical activity and social interaction. It is a repetitive and routinely life with an unclear end date. She is bored and frustrated but also acknowledges the fact that this situation is out of her control. She feels helpless yet grateful for a closed safe space. She concludes that there is nothing she can do, so she just continues her life in bed.

This is a cohesive set of stills that work well individually and as a group – title adds to the tongue in cheek personality of your submission. You demonstrated strong understanding of camera angles and curated together a compelling series, excellent work! A particularly striking shot is chiaroscuro – well-composed and an interesting angle to shoot it from. It really reflects our current screen-based lifestyle that is addictive yet necessary for connectivity.
