Self-Portrait

I have been struggling between two very, VERY different ideas for my self-portrait. My first idea is to capture my love for my little family (my boyfriend and my dog). I would use really fluid camera movements and a peaceful soundscape. I would include things that mean a lot between us, like my promise ring, the ridiculously large anniversary cards, and of course my dog. The beach will be a reoccurring setting, because that's mainly where we spend our time.

My other idea is the complete opposite emotion and feeling. I am very claustrophobic and I think it would be interesting to explore how to make the viewer also feel claustrophobic. I would also include a theme of drowning because I feel like my claustrophobia has more to do with my anxiety, and always feeling like I am drowning. I would use rapid editing and a lot of close-ups. I'd convey tight spaces with tight framing. At the end, I want to break free from something. Not sure what, but something.
