Camera Person Director’s Statement

I am unsure of the type of camera person that I want to I know I want to be a documentarian of important issues but don’t know what I want to film professionally yet.

“My work can change the way my subject is perceived by the people who surround him/her and can impact reputation or safety for years in the future”

This stood out to me the most because this is what I want to work on most. I want the person, people, or object that I film to change or accentuate how it is looked at. I will think deeply about the subject that I want to select, therefore making the film seem as if it is being documented from a honorable, yet still a student role. I want the audience to be able to be on edge and push their boundaries a little after viewing to do things they maybe wouldn’t have done or thought about.

Other’s Films

I thought the films that other people did were very impactful and impressive.  Especially the one relating to DACA. It was great to be able to see how impactful a short film could be and to see how creative and at the same time how aware my classmates are. I enjoyed working with my team and the ideas they had.  It was fun to see how all of our ideas came together to make a funny and wonderful piece in such a short time. This revealed to me that once I put enough time that a masterpiece can be created. I am excited.

 

Sound

The sound project and Tracey R worked on was extremely fun and informational. It was impactful in the sense that I became more aware of the sounds I experience , especially incorporated within film. We recorded a bad interview which I talked low while Tracey muffled the microphone. The most interesting sound to me was the cricket, the non-human sound. Now every night I hear the crickets I distinguish them from what I would normally non-consciously not even really hear.  I really liked the recording device. It was much more crisp than the IPhone’s recorder, though the iPhone was pretty crisp as well.
