Good news!

        Amanda and I have set the genre that we will be using in our portfolio project! Drum roll please..... It's officially a romance! Amanda and I have taken a lot of consideration into our genre and we thought that this would be the best theme for us to use. We took a lot of things into consideration when picking this theme including the tools and techniques that we will need to be using. Amanda and I were choosing between many different genres but we felt that with this genre it will allow us to be creative, and different.

         Some of the techniques that we will need to be focusing on with this genre will be the kind of shots that will be taken, like close ups (which are very important when showing a characters expression and emotions) and especially over the shoulder shots (so we can show a relationship between the two characters.) We feel that the camera shots will be a huge part of our project and we will be heavily focusing on these shots, and putting them exactly were they need to be.

         In this project I feel that we really need to focus on character development and what I mean by this. Is who are the two characters in this relationship?and what qualities do they bring out in each other? Constantly reflecting back on these two questions I hope that Amanda and I will be able to show the true meaning of the relationship that we would love for the audience to be able to see. We hope to dig deep into the relationship and show the real connection that these two characters have between each other.
