Transitioning into the Cambridge Portfolio Project
To be honest, getting into the transition to the portfolio project seems kind of nerving. Creating a film opening from scratch would be, im sure, very hard. This is why I have to be fully present during this phase of the class. Moving forward, from this point onward, all of my posts will be focused around building the foundation for my Portfolio Project. Going forward, everything I have learned in AICE media will be directly used to create the film opening I have been tasked with.
For my ideas, I wamt to do a mystery genre. I choose this one because partly it appears to be very flexible with the conclusion and partly because I enjoy the build up to the climax. I was thinking about doing an opening where the viewer is introduced to the detective of a complex case. The viewer is then taken through some sort of exchange of information between the detective and say a bartender who is his old friend. This would lead to the developing context approach, and this idea stands out to me because it seems like the most natural one. This is due to it being very adaptable, meaning the actual film (if produced) would have no trouble further developing the plot. All of this would be shot in the same location and include lowkey lighting and a quiet diagetic sound.
Another approach I could consider is developing character. This could include the character going through a flashback or some sort of character development. This approach is appealing to me because there are a lot of ways I can incorporate different ideas. This is also a very creative apporach since I could take this whatever direction I choose. This apporach is also somewhat difficult since it relies very heavily on costume design, setting, and dialogue. These effects help amplify the personality of the given character to further reinforce the audience's impression of the character. Developing the character properly can also give me and my team certain ideas regarding on what to continue the possible film with.
