A LITTLE CONFUSED, BUT FAIR ENOUGH
Beginning the AICE Media Portfolio Project
INTRODUCTION
In the past six months, I have learned various aspects of planning, filming, and post-production that I wasn't well-versed in before, such as mise-en-scene, color psychology, and parallel editing. Although I had learned these topics previously in my TV production class, having to apply them in my projects has proved far more difficult than I had expected. The challenges this course has brought me so far have assisted me in heightening my skills, as well as given me a reality check effort-wise (I originally believed my TV experience would make these projects a breeze, but that is not the case). Now, months later, with my newly-found skills (and areas in need of improvement), I will face the portfolio project through a different lens, beginning with spending more extensive time brainstorming.
So far, my group for this project has gathered inspiration from a certain color scheme and aesthetic: bright blues and reds, paired with an empty, hollow mood. In my free time, I listened to an album titled “Everywhere at the end of time,” a psychological horror piece that gave me ideas for an eerie film opening.
The next day, I met on a group call with my teammates to get our ideas out. We decided upon two genres for our film: dystopian or sci-fi horror. Personally, I prefer sci-fi, but we’ll see how that goes.
