Guess Who's Back... Back Again..

Wow it's good to be back! For this year's endeavor into my portfolio project, I have chosen the film promotion route. My driving intention behind picking this particular package was the simple fact that I love watching film trailers. Additionally, in my past years of learning about all scopes of media, I have become intrigued by media marketing, so much so that I am considering studying it in college. For these reasons and a few others, I thought the film promotion package would both allow me to immerse myself in something that I love and also challenge myself to do something I am not totally familiar with.

When I chose the two trailers of my major task, I assumed it wouldn't be that hard because trailers are shorter and highlight the best parts of the film. Though, I didn't consider that when professional trailers are made, the film is already completed so the editors can pick from the whole narrative. In my case, I'm not making an entire film; I have to fabricate the whole thing in my head and then chose which of the theoretical scenes will resonate the best with my target audience and sell my film. This makes me a little nervous but I'm just going dive in head first and hope I don't crack my head open.
