Transition to Cambridge Portfolio

    From now on, I will be only posting about the Cambridge final project! Taking on this big of a project is pretty intimidating, but I hope to get it done an work to my fullest potential. I plan to first pick my genre of film. This will honestly the most difficult part of the process since it will be what determines the rest of the project. After this, I will plan what my film opening is about and immediately contact the people I will be working with as actors and start working on a script. I would like to include them in this process to make sure they agree with all the decisions I am making for it and guarentee everyone is comfortable with all of the shots. Before filming, I need to assure all the filming locations I want to use are available. One that is set I will begin the filming process. I hope to get this done in just a few days depending on me and the actors schedules. Immediately after this I will begin the editing process. Since I'm not an expert on editing, I want to give myself a longer amount of time to figure this out and perfect it for production.

    Overall, my main focus will be on creating a context for this film. Outside of school, am very involved in the acting community and I can best understand works when they have a driven focus. I believe creating a context for the entire film will immensely help me figure out what I want to do with the 2 minute time limit. For a lot of people I know, if something isn't made abundantly clear, they wont get it. I want to get a message across within these first two minutes of the film to say exactly what this film would be about.

    I'd also want to develop a conflict for the film. Even if its not a sort of horror or action film, all films need a conflict. I think this approach would be useful to me since I am the type of person to not understand what the conflict in the film is until it's put right in front of you. The film's I personally enjoy the most are ones that state right out what the conflict of the film will be (Ex. I am Legend). I aim for this film opening to emulate ones like films that I genuinely enjoy, and I believe creating a conflict for my film opening will help me immensely.
