Project Background & Research Process
This project idea has been spiraling in my head for years, and I was debating on actually creating it for capstone (and in general) due to the fact that I felt it would be a very vulnerable piece of work. I would be showcasing myself, my story, and my innermost thoughts through a film documentary. I wanted to focus on the concepts of personal growth and character development. Lots of things have occurred in my life that can reach out to others and have them relate to me, as well as potentially open the eyes of others, and have them knowledge someone else’s reality. The research that went into this was watching films and tv shows that inspire me in terms of cinematography and concept. A list of films/shows that inspired me and my concept include:
- Call Me by Your Name (everything.)
- Euphoria (cinematography, sound and concept)
- The Handmaids Tale (visual storytelling)
- Bullet Train (cinematography, visual storytelling)
- Gentefied (Mexican American experience)
