Portfolio Project Week 1: Post 1. Transition to Portfolio Project

 These past few weeks marked the school year's conclusion, so I've had an exhilarating yet bittersweet time trying to adjust what I wanted to contribute to an actual film opening for my contribution to the final portfolio project for Cambridge AICE Media Studies. I'm creating an original movie opening to two minutes of a fictional movie—or however long it takes me to adhere to the institutional conventions I've learned from the class based on commercial cinema. 

Regarding the initial concept from the incubation phase, Brady, my collaborator, and I have started brainstorming ideas in the genre of comedy and coming of age. I, in particular, will take charge of identity and growing up, with enough comedic relief to offset the tragedy. I will evaluate the narrative decisions for the facets of mise-en-scène, cinematography, and editing. The ultimate project will consist of elaborate scenes, storyboards, and then the actual screenplay.
