Hello and welcome to my blog where I will be documenting my journey and process in creating my final project for my Aice Media Studies class, a two minute film opening.
My name is Ale Duque and I am currently a junior at Cypress Bay high school. With only one year left until college and mounting pressures from an extremely competitive educational environment and the daunting thought of the future, it has begun to seem more and more like my time is running out and like I need to establish and finalize my decisions now. Even at this moment, not even a full week into the span of my project, yet I am already worried about not knowing 100% of what I want my film opening to be and how I will achieve this said vision. I believe that this is partly because as I have begun to think about what I want to do with my life after high school (again, I'm trying to make decisions here) communications and studies in media arts seem increasingly appealing. This being said I still have a lot to learn about these topics and a long way to go and I am hoping that this project will aid me in getting there. I am not expecting to be an Oscar winning writer, director, producer, and editor right off the bat, of course not. But I am excited to begin and learn from this process of creating a short film opening and a unique piece of media all on my own.
As I embark on this journey I know a few things for sure:
- For the best product, write what you know. With this idea in mind, I am gearing towards making my target audience young adults. I want to make my film real, relevant, and relatable.
- For my film to seem real and genuine, it needs to be down to earth, and it seems to me that the best genre for this is an independent/ indie, coming of age film.
- As I go through the process I must remember to consider all the elements of film, not only the ones that most stand out.
It may not be much, but I think these principles are a good foundation for what I hope will be a great work that I am proud of.
Here we go.
