My Project Choice


    What I'm going to do for this project? A question that was hunting me up until I saw a penny on the ground. Well let me give you guys more context, while in class our teacher starts discussing our portfolio project and what is expected to be done for this project. The project has 4 routes one route being music another one being doing a documentary, another being to do a promotional campaign for a full length film, and the last one a short film.     

    Well the one I decided to pick was wait drumroll pleaseee no like I'm being serious okay okay, I CHOSED THE SHORT FILM ONE. Reason why well this is where that penny comes to play. Well once she finished discussing the possible routes that we are able to approach, I looked on the ground and saw a seemly lonely penny, not paying any more attention I simply glance back up trying to think on what route would be the best for me. Accidently I kicked the penny and saw that it was in a whole other part of the room in an instant and boom that where my brain clicked

    After witnessing that I immediately thought about teleportation and realized why not do a short film about using a penny to teleport places. ALSO I almost forgot to mention this but this idea also got influenced to due to the fact that we would still being doing the project during spring break which is PERFECT for my idea as I will be traveling to both London and Madrid. All I can say I'm pretty excited with how this is going to turn out (hopefully good)..
