Portfolio Project Introduction.

     Portfolio Project Intro

    Today we are beginning our portfolio project. This project is a project that is part of our AICE exam and it is due march 25th. We are required to create a 2 minute opening to a movie of our own creation . We are not allowed to copy any existing media and all the ideas have to be completely original making it our own. As we go along we need to make blog posts documenting our process through the creation of this project talking about our research, anything new we learn and the overall creation process and standing at that point in time. We are required to post 4 blogs a week on separate days documenting this process but this week we only require 2 because we are jus getting started. We are going to use all of our past projects such as the soundscape project, the one word film project, and our music marketing project to create this big project to the best of our ability. I'm working with a group of 1 other which is Gabriela Uribe 

 --------------------------------------------------------Past projects-----------------------------------------------------

music marketing project.pptx This project helps understand the marketing world and how company's create their products. We created a music video here which uses a lot of different camera angles and techniques that can be used.

OWF_mendez.mp4 This project helps understand how to convey emotion and feeling without the use of audio.

Mendez_Becherucci_soundscape_P1.mp4 This was our Foley project where we needed to create a scene only using sound elements that we either recorded or put together.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This project is just a culmination of all the knowledge I have gathered at this point through this class and I just need to find a way to put it all together efficiently. At this point in time we are not completely sure what genre/idea we want to do. I think we are going to end up doing a horror chase scene that ends has a girl chasing a guy through the woods and ends with her catching him and killing him. We don't know how we are going to do this but that is why we are conducting research on other films to get inspiration and learn new techniques

Today we are still working on editing. We are more focused on touching up our project and making sure everything looks smooth and put together. Yesterday I got almost all the clips together. Now I want to work with some FX. Since we are making a slasher movie, I want it to be dark and eerie. Right now I am learning how to add a color filter over the intro to make it dark and learning how to add a vignette. I think this makes the movie create the desired tone and feel of a horror movie, which plays perfectly. My partner, on the other hand, wants to make everything vibrant to make everything look like a fever dream and create a sense of anxiety within the viewer. She got this idea from the movie Suspiria. This allows both of us to take completely opposite approaches and see which one we like more to create the best possible project.

Today we are starting our editing, so we created a Google Drive folder where we are collecting all the clips and pictures together so each director can pick and choose the desired clips. we are going to each make our own edit and decide which is the preferred edit. Right now we are just choosing clips and putting everything together to create our base story. This takes a while because I like to analyze every clip clip to determine which one I like the best to make the best product possible. We also have a lot more stuff to do with editing, such as FX and sound, to make everything come together and fit nicely as a completed project.

CCr research

 For our CCR we have a few ideas. We were told a talking head is a no-go because we want to make it fun and engaging. this is why we thought an interview/podcast could be cool. This format creates a natural way to discuss these topics while allowing for a lighthearted conversation to form making it interesting and engaging without making it boring. Another idea we had was to make a presentation where each person does voiceovers while showing clips and examples from our own work. This allows for us to answer exactly what needs to be answered with great detail but also allows us to show exact examples in our own work. Right now those are the 2 big contenders for ideas and we want to do the same thing to be as efficient as possible but we will have different questions and answers.
