Transition Posting to Portfolio Project

After many projects that I have accomplished throughout the year of AICE Media Studies, I have finally reached the one that matters the most, the Cambridge portfolio project, which is worth fifty percent of my final grade, my diploma relying on this very moment.

When I first got introduced to this portfolio project by my teacher, to be honest, I was stressed out of my mind. The pressure that I had considering that this was fifty percent of my final grade was at its breaking point. But once I took a deep breath, took everything in and processed it, I thought to myself, it cannot be that bad, it is just a two minute film opening. 

That is when I remembered I am not exactly an amateur to filming, as my filming journey started in seventh grade when I got put in my first film class. I enjoyed that class so much I went selected film two for an elective the year after. It did not stop there though as now, fast forward to today, I am in a college level film class, AICE Media Studies, and I am not stopping here, as I will put my all into this Cambridge project.

To make sure this project results in a great success, I have to plan it out very carefully, and spread out my work so I do not leave anything for the last minute. I have two things I have in mind to make my project result in a great production, resulting in a great grade.

The first thing I am doing is putting my filming days into my calendar, not only so I can track my progress, but so I can see if I am caught up or left behind with my work. My team would have the same calendar so we are caught up with each other and scheduled.

Secondly, I would overshoot while filming my portfolio. It is always better to have extra shots than run short on my film and that is one thing I would not want to happen. I would also need to try out different approaches when it comes to my genre of this film opening. The two that I am interested in at the moment are drama and horror, drama my number one option because I could build more off of that, while on the other hand, horror is a little bit too basic and most films as such as too similar to replicate.

To wrap it up, I am extremely excited to begin with this film project and I cannot wait for the grand result. My teacher has prepared me for this very moment, and I think I will do just fine, now I just have to go through the trial and error process in the making of this process, because everyone knows, nothing good comes on the first attempt.
