Goals... and stuff.


As a filmmaker, I have made several improvements in the last couple of years, however, I have many goals that I have yet to reach yet. In the next few moments, I will be discussing my goals as a filmmaker, and in light of what I want to learn, my goals for this course.
My first goal as a filmmaker is to become a proficient storyteller. I aim to use light and digital media to paint a vivid picture of a moment in time. I believe that in the last year, I have learned a great deal about the importance of story in film, and I hope that through shooting my film for this class, I will be able to learn even more. I also hope to become better with composition and lighting as they apply to the story.
Another goal I aim to accomplish as a filmmaker is to develop lasting relationships with other filmmakers. As a result, my goal for this course is to use my films as a platform for building relationships that in turn cultivate lasting friendships. This past summer, while working on a documentary for the large portion of the break, I was able to develop lasting friendships with my entire crew that will open many doors in the future. I think that one of the great things about a career in the film industry is the opportunity to use relationships to gather resources to achieve a common goal.
These are just a couple of the goals I have as a filmmaker, and they are also goals I would like to achieve in this class. While they are long-term goals, I hope to increase in skill and grow as a person through this class in film. In conclusion, I have learned a lot as a filmmaker in a short period of time, but after this class, I feel that I will have learned even more.
