Welcome!

      Welcome to my AICE Media Studies Foundation Portfolio Blog!

My name is Tomas Quilaqueo, I am a junior at cypress bay and an aspiring filmmaker. My experience in filmmaking comes from making videos for myself, Habitat for Humanity, and Cypress Bay Television. I've been into filmmaking for many years and Im constantly looking for ways to get better at what I do. I am looking forward to this project because it will teach me new things that I can apply to all of my future projects in film.
   
 This feels weird to me because I've never had a blog before. I made this blog to document all of my progress in making this film opening. This is a very exciting project for me because I know I will learn a lot, not only from what I do correctly but from all of the mistakes I will make along the way. My videos have always leaned more towards the aesthetic than the meaning. Through this project I hope to learn a lot along the way to apply it to my style of filmmaking to create a meaningful film opening.

My group and I have not been able to decide exactly what we want for this film opening yet, but with further research and brainstorming I'm confident that we will make something great that appeals to many different audiences. After this post my blog will be entirely about my process of making this film opening. I hope to look back at this and see how much progress I have made not just with the film opening but with the filmmaking techniques that I use now compared to when this is finished as well as the change in my ideas.

Enjoy!
