WEEK 1 EOC: My Voice

I am not a filmmaker but instead an ASPIRING filmmaker. My mother has always told me I had a keen eye and a fast paced mind. Before she said any of that to me, I’ve always enjoyed watching movies and television. I could catch something even if I hadn’t seen it from the beginning and understand pretty much everything that was going on. Sometimes I catch where there would be a lack in continuity and I tend to pick up on things quite quickly especially when it pertains to problem solving such as criminal/police activity. I love that with shows such as Criminal Minds or CSI I could be a part of their journey to figure out what happened and why. I want to be a part of that world where I can make an audience think, be happy, sad or frustrated yet root for the person they never thought would deserve such a praise in success. I want to be that filmmaker that catches every emotion possible. I want my audience to feel included and also feel like they are in the same realm of a policeman, a bully, a parent, a teacher and have them understand the intent (whether good or bad) about someone. It would be a great opportunity to become a great filmmaker and use that power to help spread stories of those untold, forgotten and discriminated against in the hopes that one day everyone will have a better understanding of people as a whole. Of course, there would still be action and comedy that people love so dearly but there are other stories that go beyond our lifetime or perception that need to be addressed and it could possibly change the world as we know it. I will NOT be afraid to be a part of a truth that others fail or refuse to produce to the world. It’s a position that I can and will stand by any decision I make.
