Final Reflection (portfolio project)

 Sooooo I genuinely cannot believe that the portfolio project has come to an end. I think that it is such a bittersweet feeling. It feels like just yesterday I was picking my group members, and we were discussing what genre we were interested in pursuing, but no. It has been a total of eight whole weeks. This has definitely been my most favorite project that I have worked on. Not only in this class, but in all of my classes. I don't necessarily know why, but it is just something about creating things that I love. It is the feeling of watching back something that I know I put so much effort in.

Most interesting part:

I would say the most interesting part in this project was probably the research itself. I really enjoyed going through the film openings within my specific genre and picking apart pieces that I was interested in including in my film opening.

Hardest part:

The hardest part for me was probably the creative critical reflections. I think that this is because I am not the most creative person out there, but I do think that this project has helped me come out of my shell a bit. I struggled a little with coming up with ideas for the video itself and then I also struggled a little with the editing portion, but I hope to expand my creativity in the future, and I hope to enhance my skills in editing.

Most fun part:

This part is a little hard to answer because I feel that there were many fun parts of this project, but I think that filming the crime scene was just a ton of fun. I really enjoyed setting it up and just hanging around in a hazmat suit. That was my first and hopefully last time in one of those, but I enjoyed it while it lasted.
