The beginning of the end... The Portfolio Project!!

 Hello Readers!!
After one big semester of learning everything from genres, and camera angles, and practicing the written part of the AICE Media Studies exam, we are finally ready to start the portfolio part of the exam. To sum up what the portfolio project entails we basically have to make a 2-minute film opening that is new fiction film. In class, we learned all the specific details and requirements that come with this project. Before learning about this project we had a lesson on film openings and all the factors that come into play when making an opening. Here's one of my favorite film openings. I think it executes all the factors that are needed to make a good film opening pretty well.


I want to approach my ideas and planning for the film project with an important consideration for each detail and each decision I will be making. I need inspiration to help create some ideas for what potential genres and direction I will be taking with my film opening. The best way for me to get inspiration is to watch movies from genres I enjoy and films that I enjoy in general and dissect their title sequences. For example, in the "Coraline" title sequence, I reason I enjoy it, is because the title sequence gives us insight into what will happen later on, which in this case is Coraline receiving that doll.
Throughout the next couple of days, I will be finding ways to brainstorm some ideas and possible genres for my film opening. See ya soon
