Fork in the road

 Hi Blogger! As much as I have been discussing the digital aspect of my portfolio project through my Instagram page that I have set up last week, I think it is time for me to actually start creating the excerpt for my episodic documentary. For this next week, planning will be crucial for what I am planning to implement. Therefore, I will be creating storyboards, making outlines, brainstorming B-Roll, figuring out who my main subject will be. 

However, I feel slightly stuck. Since I am unsure about who I will be using as my subjects as of now, I do not have many ideas or inspiration. Therefore, I am a little all over the place. Despite this, I attempting to persevere in any way that I can. Consequently, I am working on both planning for the excerpt itself as well as more inclusions to have within my Instagram page. It has been a little hectic and chaotic within my planning process recently but on a good note, I did make a poster for my episodic documentary that I am extremely proud of.

I believe this image is suitable for my target audience since it has an innocent essence while also remaining engaging as well as appealing to the eye. I also think that my tag line, "What you can't see wont hurt you", being in a text message box is relatable to teenagers since majority of this age group's primary source of communication is through text messages. As for the flowers, I picked a wide variety of shades to add color to bring a positive mood and message to the series to allow my target audience to understand the purpose of this production is not to discuss how much insecurities suck but how you can use them to uplift yourself along with your overall well-being.

On the other hand, my storyboards and outlines have not been as successful as my social media campaign since I am unsure of exactly who my subjects will be. Therefore, this made me realize that this week I need to figure out who I will be using within my project that way I can properly plan out what I will implementing. Due to me not having an idea of who will be in the production, the storyboarding did not go very far since I did not have a way to surround fitting B-Roll. My main takeaway from storyboarding during my class period time today is that I need to find my subjects as soon as humanly possible. 

Despite not having a ton of new progress, this blog post has made me understand that in order to figure out exactly what the future looks like for my portfolio projects, I need to figure out who I will be incorporating into my episodic documentary that way I can come up with a larger sum of ideas and promotion strategies. Therefore, this week will be heavily focused on choosing who I want to include that way I can get down to business. Until next time!
