Here we go

  And so the wild ride begins. There is no better way to start this project than by telling you a little bit about myself. My name is Kiara Pomeroy and I am a 17 year old junior with a passion for anything creative. I absolutely love film and I can't imagine a more fitting project than this one. 
  However, not going to lie, I am shaking profusely in my boots because I don't yet have an exact direction for this project. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've got tons and tons of visions and vignettes, but my problem is tying them all together to create one coherent piece(not a big deal...right?) I, personally, tend to focus more on the visual and auditory aspects of film and let the story follow naturally to me. I have to see the film in my head in order to get a clear idea of what I will be creating. This could become a tiny bit of a problem for a project that has a strict due date and that must fully engage an audience in a two minute time frame.
  With all that being said, I know that I will face many challenges during this upcoming month(long nights, stressful decisions, low budgets, rewrites, even more rewrites etc), but I am beyond thrilled to be beginning my portfolio this week and am filled to the brim with joy, excitement and every other synonym that you could think of.

 Before I go, I just want to throw out this video by Lewis Bond in which he analyses the importance of color in cinema and how, if utilized correctly, it can establish a certain tone and heighten the emotion of the characters or of a scene. Because I plan on relying heavily on visuals in my portfolio project, understanding color schemes is extremely important in ensuring that I create something with meaning and intricate layers.
