Erik's Statement of Intent

Comm Capstone Statement of Intent: Capstone Fictional Film

For my Capstone project I will be producing a fictional film. Jason McKahan has agreed to by my director. I plan to continue working in making films or studio production’s in the future and would like to ad this project into my portfolio when entering the field.

The film’s story will be about a student separated from reality trying to find his sense of self. I see this setting focusing on fantasy style of representation, in particular the sense of limbo and the struggle he has to overcome from breaking his reality to rejoin the real world. I will need to research more into the idea of limbo to see what kinds of limbo exist or other films that have expressed limbo to see if I can incorporate the idea into the film.

            I plan to produce the production side of the film while working on the roles involved in a production. I will require more knowledge in writing the script side of the film to realize the whole story. I’ll also need to know how to showcase my films to Production Companies. Right now I see this, as a darker story so the audience this would be focusing more on would be teens and adults.

            The idea for this story came from my recent situation starting this semester with having a full suite to myself and how it can lonely at times. Because I’m pulling this idea from real experience I’ll have a strong direction of how this story will lead from start to finish. I’ll like to make this film represent a way to freely express yourself to others and not distance yourself and become alone.

When taking this course I learned about the uses of a compressor and to some degree know how to set one up, that good studio set is key to enhancing video footage, and being prepared for a shot is needed on both sides. The compressor really does solve problems that you can experience when using audio, though that process still for me still requires so more watching to continue my understanding of the system and how it works. The last studio was in was during my time back in Frederick community college were the studio wasn't all linked up like it is in this class and doesn't have some equipment was not available. So it really was learning experience what a quality studio can provide. I know from our most recent shot that preparation is always key in this business. This leaves actors and our behind the scenes people have to come up with lanes we could say or we end up shooting a scene with no script. The actors are important for the shot, but the director also need to be the most prepared for what is need to be in the shot or what is said during that time. One thing i wanted to learn about more is how you make a studio system work or bare equipment need to have your own studio up in running when going into the business. This would help out on what I would need to look at make my own studio or help out in another studio when working in the business.

Internet neutrality when i think about this concept wasn't sure it even existed due to the fact that consumer like the article told about with prefer one web browser over another. However, when i started to read into the article we do have neutrality in place do to the fact we can choose whatever browser we think is best for us and if we close the options of our choice we let ourself not have the optimal browser for our needs. If we allow this change to neutrality to not exist we cause very simple problem to occur and that one person computer will not work like anothers would. Most computers are a few years older then current standard computers, which use programs needed for a company or business to run. If a program or browser that there business runs on has to convert the there entire system into a downgraded system then numerous complaints will be made cause people to question why was this idea changed. So this idea needs to stay in place there is no need to downgrade our technology, because this idea of neutrality is working and changing it for bigger business to gain more many will not help us.

I have heard about the power hackers can inflicted onto somebody computer with little to no information. In a few cause i did get hacked with i took all the step to help protect a computer and still was easy for them to enter into my computer. So my thoughts on hackers is the same as was before this article. Nothing is safe you have to be your own limit on the information you share on the internet. Learn that and there a better chance of not getting hacked in the future. You may think your safe now, but one slip up down the line or think ah this hasn't happen to me i'll be fine is the wrong mentality to this issue. Just limit the amount you share online because that information you share is always available from that point forward.

With this plan to make OS systems free i believe was a long coming change like in the report says the updates are free to update so computer/laptops OS would have to change. As technology grows older methods have to change along with the changes made in the current time period so this change was really a question of when for many. Now we have one less thing to pay for when buying a new system or computer in the future. Do i believe that this will drive these companies to accumulate money through means yes. Because a business is always looking to make a profit, will just have to see where there making their profit now after giving out free OS for our upcoming computer/laptops.

My internet search site over the years i had access it was google. This is do that fact that bing wasn't even made when google was already out and about. Their was google already doing the job that bing has made and also i didn't even really hear promotion on this search engine until some one else talked about in a computer class. I don't believe one search engine is better then the other just google is recognized over often as the default internet search hub. Yes the design aspect of bing is nicer then google but i don't feel that greatly effects the influence that google has already made on society then other web search engines. Other all i just think we experienced google longer as a search engine then the others see we consider it more reliable then other search engines.
