Portfolio Project #2- Here We Go Again

 Hello! Glad to be posting on this blog again after a brief break- It may be a  bit of extra work to deal with, but truthfully I've always enjoyed blogging and sharing my thoughts through writing, even before I was introduced to formal blogging last year in my AS Media Studies course.

    I'm very excited to now be at the doorstep of my next big project for A level Media Studies- the famed Portfolio Project. Last year, I produced the film opening Clean Kill, which you can find on my old blog right here (Looking back on this makes me cringe) . More recently, I developed a mini-documentary surrounding the recovery of my buddy Wade's SD drive, which can be found in the previous blog post.

    I've spent enough time content with my (relative) success with both of those projects. Finally, it's time for me to produce another video, likely my last for the purposes of this course. Regarding the new portfolio project, I have been offered a variety of different options to select for my assignment. These involve a music promotion package, a film promotion package, an excerpt from a documentary, and a short film. 

    After weighing my strengths and weaknesses (after learning about each respectively throughout this course), I've opted to go with the short film, since my talents lie with writing and narrative pieces, and not anything marketing related. The documentary option was also tempting, given my happiness with how Recovery turned out, but ultimately I found the fact of only being able to submit an excerpt a little too limiting and restrictive. Thus, the short film is the way to go for me!

    Now all that is left to do is think about potential ideas for the script and story of my short film! I've chosen to tackle this project alone so I can enjoy full creative liberties with this film, however I can't help but wonder if this will only highlight my shortcomings as a creator..

I'll report back as soon as I can regarding how I'm going to space out and organize the production process for this film- returning readers will know I absolutely adore organizing and planning.

I will see you next time!
