Q: What is your topic?
A: My topic is Filmmaking. Specifically directing, but for now I want to be general.
Q: Why?
A: Well, I have always watched movies and known that I wanted to be involved in making them someday. And as cheesy as it sounds, I believe - other than love maybe - that film is the last form of magic left in the world. And so, I don't see how i could choose anything else. I think about my future and it always seems so empty whenever I exclude the thought of directing. And as for the senior project, which lasts the WHOLE YEAR, I would grow bored and unmotivated had I chose anything else. Film is the only topic I could do and stay sane through out the year.
Q: What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
A: Obviously I hope to come out of this all with gained knowledge on the field and what I'd have to do to become succesful - or in this case to even get my foot in a door. I also hope to rekindle the desire to pursue this career, after some years I realized that the field is extremely competitive and am discouraged, but still very passionatley in love with cinema. I hope after this project I have a clearer mind and my doubts are somewhat alleviated... I am sort of really excited about this though - I have an addiction for movies, I watch them like a fiend. It is my one and only vice. The thought of being able to study them for school and not just on my own time is mind bending.
