Hello! As things are changing fast, I wanted to do a progress update on what is going on with my portfolio project.
As of Tuesday, March 17th, the state of Florida has mandated that schools be canceled until the earliest of April 15th. With this project being due on April 5th, I will not be in school again before this is due. This challenge will make it hard for me to continue brainstorming with my peers and regularly discussing the project with my instructor.
I have also been practicing social distancing as of March 17th. Because of this, I have still not been able to meet up with my little cousin to film the rest of the opening. I have been in a state of limbo, waiting for my instructor to give us more information about changes to the assignment. An hour ago, I got off of a conference call with my class where we were told that the due date has been extended until April 12th. This gives us more time to change our original plans and come up with something that would work with limited resources.
Due to these circumstances, I will be forced to slightly change my film opening. Instead of having my cousin act as a young boy that gets approached by the female character, I will not have him participate in the opening at all. Instead, I will begin the film opening with the female character watching children play at the park. Then, the female will go home and prepare the house for her new "guest". Lastly, the opening will end with the female character walking out of the door joined by audio of footsteps and a car starting. This will allow the viewers to assume that the female character is going back out to do something that will start the conflict. The new beginning of the opening will introduce the female character's interest in children, which will foreshadow what she will do later in the film.
I am ecstatic to report that I am back on track and will continue to make this project a huge success! Stay tuned for more!

Progress Update
Hello! I wanted to take this time to give an in-depth progress update of my portfolio project. I am 5 weeks in to this 8 week project, and although I have done a copious amount of work, I still have a way to go.
Filming:
I originally planned to film the first part of my opening on the 8th-9th of March. Unfortunately, my actors were unavailable to film on those days. Although it threw me off schedule, it isn't too serious, as I ensured that I would plan to complete filming in case it took longer than expected. I will be filming the first portion of my film opening tomorrow (3.13.20). I will then edit throughout next week, posting additional blogs to share my editing process. I will film the second part of my film opening on 3.27.20. I will then edit throughout the weekend to ensure I have a rough draft done by Monday, March 30th. This is a little more time crunched than I would have liked, but I will ensure everything is completed effectively.
Coronavirus Outbreak:
The global COVID-19 virus will have direct effects on my portfolio project. As of right now, school is not cancelled. However, as the disease continues to spread, school may be cancelled indefinitely. This will make it hard for me to collaborate with my peers and get advice from my teacher during this process. If I am forced to work from home, I will have to be extra careful about staying on track with my schedule.
My spring break is the week of March 23. During this break, I was supposed to go on a ski trip from March 19-25. Due to this virus, my family is considering cancelling the trip, as now it is not safe to travel and the situation is only getting worse. If the trip does not end up getting cancelled, I will continue with my normal schedule with no changes. However, if we decide not to go on the trip, I will be able to film the second part of my opening during the week so I will have more time to edit and perfect my project. I will continue to update this blog with what is going on.
If me, one of my actors, or another family member gets sick, I'm not exactly sure what I would do. Although this project is important, I am aware that my health and safety is a priority. However, I will be sure to film as fast as I can so in the event of a city shutdown, or someone I know getting sick, my project will not be in jeopardy. In the end, things are changing rapidly, so I will have to make decisions based on what is going on in my community.
Creative Critical Reflection:
I am beginning work on my Creative Critical Reflection this Sunday, March 15th. For this component of the project, I will create a video reflection of my project with a creative twist. One idea I have is to film a mock talk show interview, where I will pose as a profound new director who has been working tirelessly on a production for the past few months. This will be the perfect way to keep the audience engaged in the reflection while also ensuring all information is properly discussed. I will ensure this component is finished by April 3rd in order to give myself enough time to perfect my project as a whole.
Stay tuned to see how filming goes tomorrow!
