Research Question: An exploration into the process of merging art and film. From the outset of this assignment I wanted to explore the correlation between film and art, both elements have had an extremely important place throughout my life and will continue to do so as I want to integrate both into my future career. At […]

This semester has actually been a pretty solitary one, while other groups teamed up for PB4 I decided to tackle it by myself. Mainly because my choice of major work was not one that necessitated help or much creative input from others. The technique was time consuming, but consisted of things I was able to […]

Paul put an emphasis on choosing the right music for our film or perhaps, not choosing any music at all. We kind of have similar views on music and how it can become a bit gimmicky and take away from the impact of the piece. My piece will consist of ambient, natural sounds that will […]

Last year I found out about Actuality Media, a documentary outreach program for student filmmakers, and immediately wanted to get involved. Only to find out that I was a few months past deadline and would have to wait until 2017 to try out. Another year past and Paul sent out a call out for us […]

The pitching happened on Tuesday, which was a very nerve-wracking experience for me as I loathe public speaking. Paul made it easier as he allowed us to approach the pitch in any way that we wanted.
