Project Selection-Film

The film project is interesting to me partly because I love watching movies and it seems like it would be really fun to film with actors and props. Since I have learned the meaning of many shots and editing in movies that I had looked over for so long, I believe it would be a great experience to create my own meanings and portray them through shots and editing. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a great inspiration to me in terms of breaking out of the box with a film. I understand that movies have been done a certain way for a long time because there is a formula that draws a viewer. Taking this into consideration, I would want the chance to come up with my own unique ideas within the boundaries of a successful film. The skills I believe I have that would benefit me in this project are my extreme attention to detail and creativity. The skill I believe is necessary though for this project is knowing filming and editing techniques. I have no experience with creating movies and this would be a detriment to me. Overall I have some of the skills required, but lack many of the tools needed for a successful film.
