Group, or lack thereof

 I have opted not to work with my partner from the last project. Working with Leandro worked at the time, however, I've decided I prefer to work alone. It was helpful to have another person, in many ways. I will however, try to have a bigger cast. But everything will still be produced and directed by me, regardless of whether it pans out. I believe this project will prove to be easier working alone. I won't have to meet anywhere to film, for example. It was a bit of a struggle to do this last time admittedly. This time I will likely film at my home. At least for the majority.  Nothing is set in stone quite yet though. As for the bigger cast I mentioned, I want to try my hand at directing scene by scene.

I am starting my newest project. It is also my last major project I will be working on. I will be creating the first two minutes of a film, in a genre of my choice. I have learned a lot these past semesters. The commercial project taught me much about editing. I also gained a good understanding of camera angles and how they can be put to use. The music video project taught me much about props, prop creation, and use of sound. It was probably my most unconventional project to date. I hope to keep improving with this project. I plan on putting all my knowledge to use. In particular I hope to use light design. Those are integrated in some of my favorite films. I will take inspiration from not only some of my favorite films, but the projects of my peers. Even thought it's not a music project, I also hope to make use of whatever music I choose. An inspired soundtrack is something to be appreciated in all types of media. I also hope to have a more actors in this project. for convenience
