The upcoming portfolio project has me stuck between choosing to create trailer(s) or short film. We started off having four different choices: music video, trailers, documentary excerpt, and short film. I wanted to rule out music video since it's not really my kind of "thing". Maybe if I was in a group to do this project, I could do it. But I think the part that my work will be promoting someone else's work is scary for me, in the way that I'm afraid my skill set is not good enough yet. I want to improve with my own work before I work with others. For documentary, I really don't have any ideas for a topic. I wanted to do this choice initially, but there really aren't any topics I'm interested in delving deeper in, non-fictionally. So it's between trailers and the short film.
[Trailer]
Pros: Pretty easy to come up with an outline since the way I think of a plot is built like a trailer in my head.
Cons: I need two different ideas for trailers
[Short Film]
Pros: Sounds cool
Cons: Requires a whole plot, but only for 5 minutes
I'm not particularly good at making an actual, whole plot or story, but I think I want to challenge myself this year.
I don't believe my pros and cons list is very effective, but at least now I think I know what I want to do.
