A capstone project to me is any one
project that will showcase all of the skills that I have in order to stand out
from the rest of the crowd. I believe
that the success of the project is not specific to size, but more to well
thought out ideas paired with successful execution. To me, it’s about quality and not quantity
when it comes to putting together a great capstone project. I believe this school encourages us to work
on our capstones for at least two semesters in order to plan accordingly and
allow time for the problems we will run into.
It will be a stressful project and anything that can help reduce that is
extremely beneficial.
For my project, I am planning on
producing a short film. My passion in
this field is cinematography and I would like to showcase my skills primarily
in that area. However, there are still
other video production elements that I would like to present as well, such as
special effects and graphics through the use After Effects/ Photoshop and
writing talents through the story I choose to produce.
In the end, I would like to have a
piece that I can show to potential future employers that I am able to organize
an impressive video production showcase from beginning to end. A capstone project to me should be my best
work yet with a blend of all the skills I have learned up to this point in my
career. With the completion of my
capstone I plan to have an impressive short film that is setup to be expanded
on later in my career and to have the potential of being a real competitor in
film festivals such as Heartland Film Festival and the Indianapolis International
Film Festival. To sum it up, my capstone
project is going to be badass!
