Beginning my Portfolio Project

 Hi blog!!!!!

    We officially began our portfolio project for A Level, and I am SOOO Excited for it. I am working with Vicky (who I worked on the documentary with) and Renn who is super talented from what I have seen! The three of us decided to work together because we all have different strengths, Vicky has a lot of experience in editing and filming with a camera, Renn has a talent for graphic design. I like to think I do a pretty good job at developing stories have experience with social media, since I am the media manager of the band and color guard at our school. Since we are required to create a social media page for whatever option we choose out of the four, my experience will come in handy.

 
  Speaking of the options, we were thinking through which one we should do. The options were a short film package, a music promotion package, a film promotion package, or a documentary package. We immediately all agreed that we did not want to do the film promotion or documentary option, since they were not really the best options considering our skillset. That left us with the media promotion and short film packages, and we spent a solid 30 minutes going over the pros and cons of both. Here's the list that we created.

In the end, we decided to go with the Short Film Package because at the end of the day, this project is more than just a submission to pass the Cambridge exam. The three of us want to create a piece of art that represents who we are at this point in our lives, and although that could happen with any project, the short film allows us to have nearly complete freedom in the story that we tell and how we tell it. We have started discussing plots, but nothing decided for sure yet.
