Film Production Student: Film Analysis

Decent Essays
As a film production student, my classes usually consists of US citizens, so does the industry I will go in eventually. Even though I love my friends and colleguages a lot, there are some things I believe my international friends would understand better and give me an overall better college experience. As a world traveler, I want to keep exploring. While in college I know I cannot travel different countries but meeting people from all over the world from different stories, will give me the feeling I am. I believe with the help of Expat Society, I can actually feel I am in the school with the most international student population.

    When I first started the final project, I had a clear idea of what I thought I wanted to photograph for my final portfolio. The idea I had had for almost 3 years was an example of how fragile people are and how fragile relationships are. Although, what actually happened was that I discovered a relationship that showed the beauty in humans instead of the flaws. My original ideas were to have the two models standing in very static positions that I had illustrated for them to stand in. I chose to use color film because I loved the way the color looks on the film.…

    The belief that extends from Descartes and the film Inception, is that it suggests that people think they may be in control of what they know and their ideas when it’s possible they can not be. I do not think that people can trust themselves to believe that all their ideas and thoughts our their own. I believe that all the experiences that people have had, influence how they create ideas and how they think in life. Things that a person goes through in life influences their mind, how they make decisions, what they want, and their ideas in life. Most importantly, the people around a person in their life have a huge impact on what we think.…
