Transition Post

Hey blog! From now on, all my posts will be in relation to my Cambridge portfolio project. This includes the overall process of filming, brainstorming, storyboarding, developing, and all other factors that are included. There will be around 3 posts a week, spanning over about 8 weeks. Because this project was just assigned, my mind is basically blank with no ideas. Brainstorming has to be the first step.

One of my first approaches may be a coming-of-age genre, filled with character vs. self conflicts or some character vs. society. So far there is no other idea for how the film opening itself would look like. This plot would probably take place in a low-class area with low-class main characters. I am hoping for a sense of realism in this project but the most important ideas are still brewing.

Another one of my ideas could possibly be an idea where a character has family issues. Obviously this approach would include a character vs. character conflict but could have some character vs. self and would use lighting and coloring heavily to maybe hint some sort of separation between the main character and the rest of the family.

These are just some very shallow ideas that may be used, or I may even do an entirely different story. I guess we'll have to see!
