Over the past few months, I've had to opportunity to work on a short film before moving to the foundation portfolio. What started with a simple concept focused on the game of chess quickly evolved into a murder mystery, introducing unexpected twists and challenges that pushed me to think creatively and adapt. When beginning this short film, I chose the role as cinematographer which I will continue going into our final film. I learned that the filmmaking process is often unpredictable and requires flexibility, since the original vision tends to shift as new ideas and elements come into play.
As I move on to the new film, I plan to apply all of the lessons I've learned through the lens of a cinematographer. One key aspect I plan on carrying forward is the importance of shot selection. In the first film, I experimented with different angles to create tension and highlight key moments, and now I understand how these choices can elevate the narrative of the film. By building on what I've learned, I'm excited to bring a more intentional cinematographic approach to my next project, using every shot and angle to strengthen the film's overall narrative and impact on viewers.
Outside of my AICE Media Studies class, I enjoy watching movies and listening to music!
