-Project Election- Film

When considered which project I should pursue, the film initially called to me. In class when we watched the making of  'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' I felt immense admiration for all the actors, crew, camera-men, editors, producers, and director. It made me realize how many obstacles and challenges must be overcome: what is really takes to make a film. The most important aspect of production that I learned is that a film is made three times: when it is written, filmed, and edited. As always challenge comes with opportunity. Film production allows for creative freedom in the sense that with my group I have the chance to create an original piece.  working in a group is convenient because I would not have to do the whole process alone, but it is also restricting due to clashing creative views between peers. For these reasons I would prefer to work independently but a film is not something that can be possibly done by one person alone. Deadlines must also be considered as filming can have numerous setbacks while scripting, casting, filming, and editing.  I participated in a few middle school productions which would be an advantage due to the fact that I learned how a performance should flow. All in all, despite the hardships, the film project is very rigorous, exciting, and interesting.
