11/15/16 Film Project?

Throughout my experiences with film making, I believe the film project option could work very well for me. I am a very outgoing, talkative girl so I would have no problem staring in a film. Also, I am certified in computer software so the editing process shouldn't be to hard for me to accomplish. While the film making task seems like the more fun option of the two projects, I believe it could present more problems than the magazine option. Throughout my recent research, I have learned of the many problems that film makers have encountered while creating a film. In class we watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and then continued to watch the Inside Story of the film. In this, it outlined the problems faced while shooting. They encountered injury, collection of too much film, falling behind schedule, unhappy female response, etc. The crew described the process as very difficult. The director himself left before finishing the film to move onto his next film. While the final product may end up great, there is a large amount of effort need to create such a great film. When comparing the two tasks, it seems that the magazine project may flow more smoothly. I am still undecided on which project I will take on because I believe the video will be more fun, while the magazine will be easier to accomplish. - Hope Bumgarner
