Welcome back. It has been a minute since I wrote to you, hasn't it not? Though that is not what I am here to write to you about. This message is to explain my situation, as something new and exciting has come up. I have a new project for my boss, who calls this a Portfolio Project. It is simple really, film a movie intro for about two minutes. It sounds fun to do, but I have a time limit and my own sanity to balance. At least I have multiple ways to approach this project. Though I am more inclined to go the route of character development or developing conflict, maybe even a mixture of both situations if I could make it work. Here are my notes from the presentation to help give you more detail:
(I apologize for the poor quality so here is a more zoomed in version.)
The reason why I so prefer character development is because I personally have made many fictional characters before, aspects such as how they would act and dress are fun to create. I find it relatively easy to do and it helps me build up a story based . So to make a character and essentially introduce them under the guise of a film production would be lovely to do. Not because I already have several--around twenty--characters that I could start out with and quite easily create introductions about.
Although, developing conflict would be a great idea to to push me further out of my comfort zone while having some sort of fun in the process. Yes, yes, struggle can be fun if you do not think about it. Despite my complaining earlier, I will find fun within this project somehow. Back on track, developing conflict can be much more interesting if I do it correctly. After all, everyone wants to know exactly what they are watching and expecting from a movie. Especially me, to whom is very picky about what I watch. This approach takes much more thought about the world and character as well as the story, so there is some degree of respect to directors who try this approach. Especially those who do it well.
