Structure

Hi Blogger! Now that I have began to have an answer to some of my questions that were previously unanswered, it is time to put my vision into action. After talking with Sadie, she let me know that she would be discussing her insecurity about her self esteem and overall self image of herself which is very common and relatable amongst my target audience's age. Therefore, I think by having a topic that is as recognizable as that one, it will allow my target audience to be more intrigued and engaged since it may be personal to what they're going through. 

Although I am on the right track with figuring out many significant details within my portfolio project, I am still a little bit lost on what exactly my episodic documentary will look like, especially considering this is an excert. A huge thing that is on my mind is where exactly I want to start this segment. The beginning? The middle? The end? I have no idea yet if I am being completely transparent. Despite my surrounding questions, I believe that what will work best for me is to start experimenting that way I can understanding what works and what I believe will not fit into this project. I have been playing around with different ways to go about and approach my portfolio project, as shown below...

I experimented with taking a segment from the ending of an episodic documentary episode. I did not understand why I tried this at first, however this may be the easiest one for me to do since I will have more of a resolution as well as closure that what I will be implementing. Also being having the segment be based on the closing scene of an episodic documentary, I could discuss more of how to use your insecurity as a positive reinforcement rather than just sulking about how it makes you sad. I believe by having this message included within my portfolio project will be fitting for my target audience since most young adults and teenagers do not have somewhere to look when they need a media source to give them guidance on something that is bothering them about themselves. 

Also within my planning I included some aspects I want to produce within my segment that will make shots, angles, etc. more meaningful as seen on the planning sheet.

Overall, although I am still figuring out many details within what I am implementing, I believe that I need to keep experimenting in order to find out what suits this project the best. I want to ensure that what I am putting out is engaging enough that it is not another typically informative documentary that nobody ends up watching but a production with engagement with a structure that is not typically viewed within the media sphere. Even though I do not know how I am going to do this yet, I need to keep trying while thinking of new and creative ideas (storyboarding will help me a lot with this) Until next time!
