What am I going to do?!?!?!

After a long time of thought and reflection deciding which of the four options I would do, I have come to a conclusion.

Movie trailer ehh, not my thing. A short film could be cool but coming up with a story is very difficult. The music video could be so fun and I have friends that make music. However, I knew after making REMIX that documentary was my thing. 

In the first semester, we had an assignment to make a short documentary, so me and my partner created REMIX. This is probably my favorite thing I've ever made and after finishing it I started coming up with many more ideas for documentaries, specifically for the portfolio project.

Critical Reflection for REMIX Blog

Of the ideas I came up with, these are my top three:

1. Race to First Place- A docuseries about the different competitive areas of the school, and how everyone's goal is to have some validation telling you that you got first place. For example an art contest, Math competitions, Science fair, etc. I originally wanted to focus on the valedictorian and how taxing it can be in a class of over 1000 students, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. That's a future problem to figure out
2. A Continuation of REMIX would sort of be the easiest choice to go with because I figured out a style to it. It would also facilitate the social media component because I'd already have another episode done, I would just pick another music genre.
3. The last idea I had was to tell the story of ghostwriters, and the episodic doc would be about different people who work for something they don't get credited for. I know a few ghost writers but the problem with that one is the lack of creative B-roll.

I really feel myself leaning towards the valedictorian idea, especially after consulting with my teacher. I listed the three ideas and she kind of gave me a similar but new approach to the valedictorian idea. I'm going to ask as many friends as possible what they think I should do because even though I'm working by myself, it's nice to get other's input. I'm also going to try and find some inspiration and lock in.
