1.What area I will be specializing in and why.

2D compositing

2.What areas would I like to improve on and focus on in my specialization and how will my project help improve my skills.

Compositing (major), blue/green screen techniques and matte extractions. Massaging the
edges of combined objects create a fused shot. Roto, tracking, masking, etc. Most if not all
will be essential to make the final video believable.
Digital painting (minor), adding of a backdrop. Especially for fantasy based, would be hard pressed to find a decent stage that adds to the mood of the project. Improves perception of
depth, light behavior, form, etc.

3.Outlining my shot.

Combining a Live action shot with a still mid & a matte painted backdrop.

4.Outlining my project.

-Shooting a live dramatic shot of an action, preferably able to get a female friend that I know, but it depends on her schedule, will have to get back on that.
-Painting a backdrop to fit the atmosphere.
-Inserting a still mid ground with elements moving to marry the fore n back.
-Composing the whole project and handle the blue screened objects and various touch ups.
