Aice Media Portfolio: Genre

We are now starting what we have been working towards all of semester one which is the Aice Media, Cambridge Portfolio Project. We have reviewed over the last few months a variety of topics which is going to help facilitate this film organizing process and with the information we have learned on certain techniques, it is essential that we incorporate them into this film. For this section of the organizing process I am going to be talking about genre. I will be covering what will be my approach when it comes to genre for my film and I will be discussing why I made this choice, in my next submission I will be discussing the films that inspired me to partake in this approach and why as well. For my portfolio project, I will be incorporating genres of drama and coming of age into my film. The reason why I choose drama is because I feel like it can illustrate my story in a way where dialogue, conflict and setting can play a big role into the final product of my film. In terms of dialogue, I want the spoken words of my characters to drive action and reveal deep aspects of their personalities and relationships. In terms of setting, I want the time and place where the drama occurs to influence the mood and atmosphere of my film, and as of conflict, I envision a struggle between opposing forces, which can be internal to our character or even external between the character and their environment. For my portfolio project, I will also be incorporating coming of age into my film because coming of age stories often deal with universal themes like identity, growth and self-discovery, making them highly relatable to a wide audience and because of it's diverse storytelling, it is a genre that can be explored through various cultural, social, and personal lenses, offering a rich diversity of stories and perspectives. Incorporating the coming of age genre can create a film that reasonates deeply with audiences and leaves a lasting impact.
