Project Selection- My Decision

     I have chosen the magazine project. I feel as if I will be able to manage my time better with a magazine instead of a film because of the different types of work that need to be put in. As well, I enjoy taking pictures and writing rather than shooting videos and directing people around. It is more of an independent project, and I work better alone rather than in a group because I don't know how much effort others will put in to make a film presentable. I possess skills such as organization, time management, and photography which will help me in creating the magazine project.
     The magazine project I am doing will consist of multiple interviews and photos to express the person's interests that I am interviewing. I am interested in doing a fashion related magazine with clothing styles and cosmetics. I do not like working in groups, so I will be working alone with my own ideas and layouts. I will need to put a lot of outside school work into this project to creating an eye-catching and intriguing magazine to achieve a good grade.

Project Selection- Film

Some aspects of film production that interest me based on what I have learned in class are directing, shooting scenes, casting actors, and costume design. Directing and shooting scenes can be fun, especially if you are a perfectionist and want the film to appear well. Finding a setting or ambiance to fit the scene can be exciting because of all the options. Costume design appeals to me because dressing people to fit their character can be enjoyable and or fun. I possess skills such as time management, and organization which greatly helps in creating a film. Time management is a necessity in film making because without it it would take far too long to finish. Organization is a necessity as well when cutting scenes and placing them in a correct order to make sense of the film. Although, some things may make the project a challenge for me such as lack of others' cooperation and settings, and difficulty creating a script.
