How Does The World See Us?
I was thinking earlier on today about something that seems complicated but isn’t really.
We, ourselves as individuals, are aware of how we see the world…but we are very seldom aware of how the world sees us.
When we are aware of a video camera, or in a situation where we are aware of being recorded, our responses are restricted from how we would usually react. I, myself am always aware of looking stupid, so if I’m being filmed, I tend to restrict my reactions…with expressions, it’s harder, but I still do it sometimes.
I would actually be interested if someone secretly filmed me without my knowledge, but to see the results I would probably be very self critical of my posture, and the sound of my voice etc.
This whole theory that I have, if you can call it that, is necessarily always involving video cameras, but then again a photograph captures one moment, and not a series of responses.
I’m not sure where I’m going with this, but thought it was interesting…
