Transition into Cambridge Portfolio Project

Transition into Cambridge Portfolio Project!

    Hey blog! From now on my blogs will be about my Cambridge Portfolio project. All the blogs I've posted before this have helped me gain better understanding and better information for my portfolio project, everything posted before this was a guide and led to this moment. We have learned a lot of things in this class and researched a whole lot of information, which has helped me develop a better understanding on media and how to create media. I'm very excited to start this project and I think my group and I will have a lot of fun doing it! 

    The first thing we did was think about what our opening should be about. Coming up with the story and genre are always my favorite part, I love brainstorming and deciding on the story we all like the most. By deciding what the story will be, we can decide how to develop this story and get the audience interested and engaged within the first two minutes, making them want to watch the full movie. I think developing context is a very important thing to do before starting this project, it helps us decide on many things, like how it'll start, the setting, how we can make it interesting and fun to watch, and many more things. 

    The second thing we might consider doing is developing the characters. This is something I also love doing, creating characters and bringing them into life is always so much fun and I love seeing our creations come to life and seeing that we succeed in doing so. Thinking about what their personality will be like and what they'll wear and things like this interest me a lot and gets me excited to see what the final project will be like (even though I know this is just the beginning and there are many other steps till the end). Coming up with the relationship the characters will have and how they relate to one another will be fun and I'm really excited for this. 

    Overall, I think starting with the basics is a good approach to starting our portfolio project. Just thinking about the storyline and how we're going to convey it and bring it to life is so much fun and it'll definitely make it much easier to start the project already knowing the story we want to tell.
