Portraying A'dam

Paula Albuquerque

Part of my project exploring the potential of Webcams as Emerging Cinematic Medium, "Portraying A'dam" consists of a documental approach to the city of Amsterdam, exclusively making use of the publicly-accessible Webcams available on the 4th of October 2013. This film is composed by three chapters of which only the third is shown at present. Entitled "Face to Ground", this chapter focuses on the extreme ability for the cameras to discern and highlight identifiable people's facial features, while also covering an enormous amount of ground detail.
