Tattoo Video

For my final documentary project I want to explore the tattoo world of fan culture. Do people get tattoos because they are a fan of tattoos or because they are a fan of what they put on their bodies. My theroy is that getting a tattoo is the ultimate fandom! So what I really want to do is find someone that has never gotten a tattoo before and follow the process of them getting their tattoo. I think it should be an interesting process seeing how a person reacts when they recieve their first tattoo.

The film that I choose for this blogg is not the greatest and I'm sure it was done just for an advertisment for the artist. None the less I just wanted to see how other people are shooting in tattoo parlors. It was interseting how the artist was showing them around the parlor and how it was not just a tattoo parlor it was also a salon. I like how there was a announcer I guess you could call it that the shots when back and forth from to explane things. But the over all organization of the film was not good. I thought we were going to get to see a tatoo from start to finish but there were several being done. I dont like how there was no story for why the person was getting the tattoo or anyhting about the artist.I also want to get some examples for what not to shoot like and I do believe I got one of my examples.
