Project Selection-Film

Within the film making process, I have become vastly interested in the production, casting of actors, and visual mind needed to make ideas come to life. By watching the first season of the Newsroom, I was able to gain a feel of how they develop characters within each episode, and the layers they have to create a interesting backstory. For example, the relationship between Will McAvoy and Mackenzie Mchale show a relationship that was destroyed through a misunderstanding, but they must continue to work together within a business environment, which creates emotional outbursts throughout the show. By developing this insight, the audience is able to sympathize with the characters and curate feelings for them. This creative outlet that filmmakers are able to have perked my curiosity of how far you could go within a genre to make the audience emotionally feel for the setting and characters. However, within the making of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the director was thrown into several issues, such as the chemistry between the characters, working past the deadline, and marketing the film to be attractive to all audiences. This balance could serve as a challenge, especially when directing the actors for certain facial expressions and creating dialogue that doesn't come off as awkward. On the other hand, the film project would be a good creative outlet and for someone that is efficient with visual production, it may be a good fit.
