Portfolio Project Introduction Part 1

     I now have to do a portfolio project, which will be a huge grade both in this quarter and for Cambridge, and I have decided to do it alone. This is mainly so I have control over the project and because Mrs. Stoklosa said it was better for colleges if I did it alone since I want to study film. I will most likely have my friends help me in certain areas, whether that be a scene that requires extra people or simply to have another camera for coverage. Even though I might do this I want to mainly do it all myself so I will try a scene with few people and more focused on character. This means that I will avoid action, adventure, and comedy, which is mainly because I am not good at the latter.

    If I decide to make something similar to old films one thing I can do is to put the credits at the beginning, which is how it was done then. This will most likely not be used but its something I personally think is noteworthy. 

    Thinking about the genres I realize drama will probably be a good choice. Unfortunately, there are many different ways to approach drama. Many more active films can also be drama because of how active the protagonist is, Snowpiercer being a great example of this. Dramas can also be something extremely quiet and small, like Lady Bird.
