Writing this out on Blogger is a surreal feeling. This project has taken up so much of my life that it is hard to believe that this process is coming to end. In my first blog posts, I had always brought up that my main goal with what I was creating was to produce a product that I am proud of and I can enthusiastically say that I did just that.
I remember feeling completely clueless towards the start of this process as I had no idea what I would make this product about. When originally doing my brainstorming, one of the first things that I suggest to myself was to do what I knew. Something that I know a lot about is insecurities and how they can affect ones self esteem and mental health. The more that I began to delve into this topic and ideas that I could implement, the more invested in this project I got.
Something that I took away from my last portfolio project was that I need an equal balance between all of the components within my project. Therefore, I am really proud of myself that I was able to take into account time management to be able to consider all aspects within this project. Before this project, if I were given a task with multiple completions that needed to be done, I would typically focus my energy towards one thing rather than equally dividing up my time. However, this project has allowed me to significantly improve my time management not just within this class but to how I live my everyday life.
Another aspect that have also improved on a lot is editing. When first beginning this process, I honestly dreaded it since I was very inexperienced and the last time I had to edit I had struggled a lot. This time around, my opinions changed drastically. When layering my B-roll into my interview shots, something in me had felt so satisfied and healed watching my project that I have worked so hard on come together to create an art form that can possibly help other young adults who have struggled with the same things that I have endured.
I am super grateful for this process since I not only have learned so much, I feel like this documentary has instilled a new found confidence within myself while also have the opportunity to educate as well as aid in the lives of young adults who are struggling with the normal feelings. After going through this portfolio project, although it took so much of my life up, I have no regrets. These feelings I have right now are irreplaceable and I am overcome with pride about my creation. I cannot wait to show you what I have been working on for these past few months.
