Ringling has given me with so many incredible opportunities. From just learning from our supportive faculty to creating projects with my talented peers. I am so thankful for everything I have been able to accomplish. I can’t imagine doing anything else than making films. I enjoy the collaborative process, the pre production, and strangely the paperwork. I mainly enjoy writing, production design, producing, and directing. Watching how each position comes together to create a piece you are all proud of is so fulfilling.What i love most is working with my talented peers and using each others skills to create fun, touching, and entertaining pieces of work. Though it can be rough and things tend to never go as planned; we all do what we can to make each other succeed. . Someone once told me that everything I make is an extension of myself. I can not think of anything more true. No matter what you are making you are capturing a moment in time. When I sit down to write a script I always have the main …show more content…
idea. An idea that was sparked from an experience in my life. Where the story goes after that can be completely fictional, but the theme usually revolves back to how it made you feel in the moment. Most stories I write deal with empowering women and young girls, childhood imagination, mental illness, and self identity. All things that I connect with on a personal basis. Through taking our real life experiences we can create films that connect to people on ways they have never been connected before. Using performance and genuine emotion you can create characters that are relatable, and think all on their own. I can remember being told to find a job that you enjoy so you never feel like you are working.
Filmmaking is that job for me. Though it is hard and filled with literal blood sweat and tears, it is one of the most rewarding jobs a person can have. You put all of your passion into a project that starts on paper and ends on giant screen for the world to see. You make content that people talk about for days and watch over and over again. To be that successful would be a dream come true. To be apart of films that help someone, that entertain a child’s imagination, brings someone to tears, and makes someone laugh is all I want to do. If I can do that as a career, then I will not work a day in my life. I don't know where I am going to go from here but I know I have the skills to be a good filmmaker and the passion to push forward. I am forever thankful for my professors for guiding me, my family for supporting me, and all of the films that ever inspired me for pushing me
forward.
The career path that I want to pursue is in the medical field. I major in psychology and minor in biology because going to medical school has always been my desire. Being a pediatrician is my goal I wish to conquer. I am beyond interested and passionate about this career. It is not just a career, it is my life dreams. I want to be able to enjoy going to work every day knowing I love my job and I am here because I want to. Being a pediatrician I am able to work with children and many people of different cultures. I am thrilled to know that I will be capable of caring for sick children.
Faith Ringgold was born in Harlem on October 8th 1930, the great depression had just ended and although she lived in the north, racism was still going on all throughout the country. As a young child, Ringgold was often bed ridden because of harsh asthma and during this time she often would draw. In 1950 she got her own studio and started working on oil painting projects. By 1962 she had gotten her MA in Art at the City College of New York, had two daughters and had been divorced and remarried. Ringgold was greatly influenced by a family who loved storytelling and learned from her mother’s stories about the ancestry of the slaves. Ringgold was both an artist as well as a teacher of art within the New York City public schools and a professor at the University of California, San Diego. Throughout her lifetime and time of her paintings, the civil rights movement was in full force.
I've always wanted to be an actor. I've always liked performing. We used to live in Alberta, and I didn't have much opportunity there. But we moved here {Vancouver, BC}, and I got an agent, and here I am.
With this short but very interesting and informative class I have just scratched the surface of the what it takes to make a full fleged film. It takes much more than I had presumed to make a movie in Hollywood. The number of people that it takes to make a minute of a movie let alone the entire movie was astonishing to me. There are many things that it takes to start making a movie but without an idea of some sort there is no movie to be made.
This quote from William Arthur Ward reflects upon me and maybe even others here: "If you can imagine it, you can create it.
I would like to begin this reflection paper with my past experiences. First, I am an older student – obtaining my first bachelors from Hofstra University. As a sophomore in broadcast journalism, I was assigned the task of interviewing a graduate student in speech-language pathology as part of a career exploration video for incoming freshman. Filming her and her fellow classmates as they helped children overcome their stutter and gain both confidence and a voice, I was fascinated by the amazing work they were doing. But I had already begun searching for a career path in public relations, soon taking a job at a public relations firm on Long Island focusing on business clients. Within three months, I started dreaming about a career more than a
A career in photography would be very satisfying for someone interested in being their own boss. If you had an adventurous spirit you could fulfill this desire. If you were someone who likes to stay close to home you could have a studio in your house. If you wanted to have a large audience you could aspire to work for a national publication. The most satisfying part of photography is seeing the world in a different perspective and finding the beauty in
...ese things to gain this position. Hard work and dedication can only push me towards the finish line of life. Ultimately, the image in my eyes, is that the cost is less than the value. I will gain stability, financial assurance, and even a few luxury items that life could provide for me. This is a monumental reward for my action towards the improvement of myself in the sophisticated career of a Arts Professor.
I decided to be a director when I was fourteen years old. I was in my tenth grade and studied about world wars in history. I was inspired by the stories of the wars and started writing stories based on the same subject. I had little clue what to do with those stories until I watched ‘Saving Private Ryan’ .This movie based on second world war inspired me to be a filmmaker.
In summary, throughout my life many career choices have crossed my mind. I have tried being a stay-at-home mom and a hospital employee. I am working on trying computers. The path I chose in computers is yet to be decided but the opportunities are vast. My current path leaves me many opportunities in healthcare and computers but the possibilities do not stop there. With further education I could still do anything.
“If you can imagine it you can create. If you can dream it, you can become it.”
My final thought on this career is that it’s helpful towards other people and it’s good to make a change in today’s society.
... The idea of taking modern technology and making a story with my own imagination and hands is what I want to do. It 's collaborative; I would be able to explore several cultures and travel the world for research and making it into an art form. I would have experience with people, learn, draw all of it, and get paid a lot ofmoney. I would never get bored, every day would be something different, and getting feedback from such a diverse audience would improve my skill set. All of this is the source of my passion, and as Keane said, it makes me feel like a kid. It would be hard at times, but it 's a business where you have to push yourself, and I would not be bitter about that. I plan on going into an art and animation school and study people, movement,life, and as well as the world. It 's an idea that I get excited for, and I can not wait for what this career has for me.
In the end, no matter what may be said about me, I know that I am some what of an abstract project. I continue to grow everyday and discover new factors that define me. I know what I stand for. I love myself, and the people around me. They don't create me, or make me who I am, but they do help be define myself
I have gone back and forth on several career choices but never really dedicating myself to just one. Which makes me ask myself; what am I looking for, what do I want from a career? This has long since been my dilemma and not having any eureka moments meant more stress on what my career should be. I've later come to realize that my transformative education had happened, I just hadn't put two and two together. My transformative education took place while interning at Walt Disney World in
