For my AICE Media end-of-year exam, I am about to begin work on a two-minute film opening, which will count for half of my final grade. This is a big project, and because of that I have decided to work alone so that I have full creative control over the idea and the final product. At the moment, I am still in the early planning stages, but I am taking this process seriously and trying to think carefully about what kind of film I want to make. Since this opening is meant to establish a story, characters, and a genre in a very short amount of time, I know that my choices now will be very important to the success of the project.
Right now, I am mainly contemplating two possible genres, a thriller or a coming-of-age film. Both appeal to me for different reasons. A thriller would allow me to experiment with tension, mystery, and suspense, while a coming-of-age story would give me the opportunity to focus more on character, emotion, and personal growth. I have begun brainstorming ideas for both and will continue to do so over the next few weeks, planning different concepts and seeing which one feels the strongest and most realistic to produce within the limits of time and resources that I have.
Throughout this entire process, I will be documenting my progress every week through this blog! This will include my ideas, planning, successes, and problems that come up along the way. This blog will act as a record of how my project develops from a simple idea into a finished film opening, and it will also help me reflect on my decisions and improvements. Overall, this project feels challenging but exciting, and I am looking forward to seeing how my initial ideas turn into something more complete and polished.
