What I learned about my subject is that there’s a lot more to learn about than I first thought. When I first started to research about my subject, I thought it was going to be simple stuff like the colouring and some music, but when I dove into my research I found out that there was a lot more that goes into a film genre, like what the actors are wearing and how they’re speaking. With my skill set, I feel like I learned a lot about editing. Before I would be splitting the editing part of the project with my friends, but with my capstone I had to do all of the editing. I feel like I’ve improved a lot in the editing side of things. I learned that I can make a film like this by myself. For the past 4 years I’ve always worked in a group for film projects, so in doing this I’ve proved to myself that I can create a film by myself.
This project is relevant to me because I am going to film school next year and film has been a big part of my life ever since I was young. It is also something I am very passionate about, so it would make sense for me to do something around film for my capstone. It is relevant to the school because I am demonstrating what someone who has been taught by the film production department can create, I am also trying to show people to inspire them to join the program as it is slowly dying out. I feel like there should be more LGBTQ representation in our community and me making the two main characters go on a date is my way of contributing to making more representation in our community. The capstone had a big impact on me because it gave me a little taste of what film school might be. At the film school I am going too, there will be a lot of projects that I would be doing alone, so getting in the practice now definitely helped me being more prepared for next year. I am really proud of how my action scene turned out. While filming the scene I was kinda doubting on how the scene would turn out, but over all I think the scene turned out better than I imagined. Another aspect that I am proud of is the fact that I completed this all by myself. One difficultly that I came upon while researching is that there wasn’t much on the internet about the differences of the genres. I would go and try to research about Thriller and it would only give me a description. Which everyone knows what thriller is, but there was nothing about the details of what actually makes it “thriller” and to overcome this I started to research about book genres and there was plenty of website online about them. So I read about the book genres and I translated them into a film formate. The one thing I would change about my film would be to give each film genre the same amount of screen time because the romance genre is around 3 minutes long and the thriller genre is around 20 seconds. One advice I would say would probably be what a lot of people say but it’s true, is to start early and manage your time well because the next thing you know your capstone is going to be due next week.
