Film making

Imagine having the option to be a screenwriter, a producer, a director, a

cinematographer or an editor on a major Hollywood film that appeals to

your cinematic tastes.

…Pick one job…

1) What aspects of the job (explain at least three) appeal to you…define

them each first -then connect- why does each element appeal to you

personally?

2) What about you makes you a fit for this type of work? Anything about

your major now? Accomplishments in life? What type of person are you

and how would that translate to a project like making a film where you’d

work with many, many people? 

THE FINAL ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER YOU WANT

TO EVER GET INVOLVED IN MAKING A MOVIE

OR NOT. BUT EVEN A PASSIVE MOVIEGOER

BENEFITS BY CONSIDERING NOT ONLY HOW

CINEMA MAGIC IS MADE…BUT MORE

IMPORTANTLY…BY PLACING YOURSELF IN AN

IMAGINARY ROLE AS PART OF THE “MAKING”

PROCESS…YOU CAN APPRECIATE MOVIES EVEN

MORE WHEN YOU FINISH THIS COURSE!
