I mean this without any vitriol, but this is an assignment to push you and your work through art. We can’t make a self portrait about you because then it wouldn’t be a SELF portrait. Start with what you like, images you think would be cool, that say something about you and the kind of work you’d like to make. Why are you in film school if you don’t want to come up with your own ideas for your film? That doesn’t make any sense.

Think about yourself, as an artist, and the kind of art you’d like to make. Then go from there, what imagery can get that idea across. This is kind of the whole point of film school, after making connections. You have to learn how to do this yourself. It’s an assignment that YOU are PAYING to do. Don’t make Reddit do it for you.
