As the course progresses, so do the projects. Although the projects have been demanding and rigorous, I have had a wonderful time developing various skills and I have had the opportunity to expand my creativity and imagination, thinking outside the box and digging deep into my ideas. Throughout this course, I have also been able to discover wonderful and creative people, with whom I have been able to resonate our ideas and perspectives about our projects. I consider that throughout this course I have been able to understand my strengths and improve academic skills such as writing, research, and critical thinking. However, as time goes by, we are getting nearer to the final project of this course, which is the Portfolio Project. As an introduction, for the previous class lessons, crucial characteristics of this project have been explained and developed. 

First, with the implementation of a Nearpod presentation, various details that should be taken into account about the project were given, such as an established tone, genre, credits, and purpose. These are the notes I took from that presentation. 

The Nearpod also included samples of various film openings, my favorites were the ones of Lady Bird and Emma. I consider it very interesting when there is original music implemented, as well as some comedy details in actions or conversations.  In the following class, the Cambridge Portfolio Project Directions were given, where notes were taken and we were able to ask the teacher about concerns and questions about the project. We were also presented with some previous Portfolio Projects Film Openings of previous students which I found very original and entertaining. These are the notes I took. 

Overall, I am really excited about starting this project and once again letting my imagination and creativity flow. I can't wait for the following weeks that are coming.
