Completed Infographics

I wanted my overall capstone to have a consistent look and theme, so i knew that i would use the same background from my capstone poster for the infographic. The challenging part certainly was deciding what to include and what to not include. I experimented a couple of times using pictures and graphics but it made the inforgraphic clustered and unappealing; therefore, i settled for a clean, simple, yet stylish design with breif textual discriprion to succinctly encapsulates my capstone.

Infographics

My infographic will focus on the step by step process of critically viewing films that will guide audiences to enhance their understanding and film-watching experience.


My capstone poster, i believe, captures the essence of my topic perfectly. I am very satisfied with how it turned out and don't plan on changing it.

PSA

I believe i have met the requirements and made a bold statement with my PSA, especially with  the accompaniment of "Raging Bull". The challenging part about making the PSA was organizing my ideas about what i wanted to include in the video. But once i had that figured out, i was able to make it cohesive and effective.

Capstone Project Statement of Intent

My Capstone explores the lack of critical thinking among young film audiences. Film audiences everyone, specially young people, lack the skill or interest to seek the complex techniques and elements which make up their favorite movies. Movies are perceived as mainly entertainment and the entertainment value is merely evaluated by the actors or the plot. I strongly believe that if film audiences had a better understanding of the essential components of film, such as sound, editing, cinematography, and mise-en-scene,  they would be able to understand and appreciate the profound message and purpose the medium offers. As an aspiring film editor, i intend to guide film viewers to enhance their attitude and ability to look at their favorite films critically beyond the plot and acting.

I was very excited about this video, but due to finals, i did not have as much time as i would've liked to work on it. Nonetheless, it was fun drawing a story board, shooting, and editing my own video.

How To Video...

 I really enjoyed making the how to video with my group. My group was late starting the project but we managed to finish it in time. It was also fun to edit the video. The issue i had personally was exporting my video from Adobe Premiere Pro and uploading it to Vimeo. Overall, it was a fun experience that allowed me to use my editing skills.
