Yesterday, my teacher, Mr. Shahzad Naeem, briefed us on what we are required to do this year for the Advanced Portfolio. My classmates and I were told that there are four options that we can choose from:
1. A music promotion package, of which, the major task is to make a music video of a certain song.
2. A short film package.
3. A documentary package.
4. A film promotion package, which would require us to make two trailers of a film, for the major task.
We were given time till tonight to think about it and let him know, and immediately start working on our ideas and finalize the outline proposal form to send to authorities at CAIE. What I have finalized is that I will be going with a music promotion package. The reason I’m choosing to make a music video is that in my film opening task video that I submitted for my foundation portfolio, I relied on music a lot as my way to narrate my story and set a tone of the film. I made use of sync-based cutting in my video i.e I made cuts wherever the beat of the music changed. I’m deciding to use it as one of my strengths again this year and go with the option of making a music video. I will soon start working on an idea and will be updating on the blog. Hope this journey goes well! 🙂
