The Final!

The Final Project

    Here it is, our final. One last test of the skills we've been practicing all year long, and it comes down to this moment. I know what you're thinking, it's only the beginning of February, how are you already doing with your final? Ok fine, maybe I exaggerated a little. In the next eight weeks, I'll be producing my Cambridge Portfolio project, a two-minute original film opening, and it will all be documented on this blog.

    I have been looking forward to this project for a long time, but now that it's here I'm a little intimidated. The most challenging part of any project for me is this, the start. We watched a Ted Talk by Andrew Stanton about creating stories and it was incredibly moving for me; the way that he has told so many of the stories I love as well as how he was able to tell his own story in the ted talk completely changed the way I wanted to approach this project, and I totally recommend more people watch it. I now know that for my film opening, I want to create something that I've experienced, I want the story to be authentic.

    If I'm being honest, that doesn't help me much in getting rid of this creativity block, there are so many genres and stories I could explore, but I do know what the next step in my process will be and that's research. I didn't understand how helpful research is until we worked on the Music Marketing project and now I truly think that by researching all the genres and figuring out who I want to be as I create this project will help me in the process. I'll be keeping you up to date with any innovations I may have about the project, so stay tuned for more!
