Project choice

 For my portfolio project I decided that I want to work by myself and that my project choice will be a documentary. I really want to work by myself this time because I want to have control over my creation and I really want to make it mine and something special to me. I was kind of stuck between going with the music promo or the documentary at first because I know a band that's consisted of a few juniors and a senior that go to cypress. I thought it could be kind of cool and fun to make a music promo for them. However, I ended up going with the documentary because I really want to express an idea that is special to me through a documentary. 

As for my idea for the documentary, I only have one thing in mind so far. I was thinking that maybe I could do an episodic documentary on how people express themselves through their physical appearance. Like their clothes, jewelry, make-up, hairstyle, hair color, etc. The whole idea for the episodic documentary would be that every episode would focus on a different aspect of a person's physical appearance. One episode could focus on clothes, the other hair, and the other jewelry, I thought of that layout and of another one. The other one being something like, one episode focuses on the grunge aesthetics and the main characteristics of their physical appearance and how their express themselves through it. I haven't really decided on which layout I like better for the episodes yet, but I only have those two ideas which I think are already pretty good.
