Project Section-My Decision

My decision
I have chosen to work on the film due to the great enjoyment I would be able to derive from it. I have lots of inspiration that give me an idea how I would like to make my film. The enjoyment I experience when watching film is the main reason why I chose to make film. I am looking forward to express myself and emotions through film. I have skills in reference to editing due to my prior experience editing short clips for recreation.
The Film
I am planning on producing a drama film with some comedic elements. There will be tense scenes with mature and emotional dialogue, that will push the film forward. Hopefully the film will be like Breaking Bad, but have something such as candy substituted for drugs, to keep the project school appropriate.
Group
I will be working in a group with other members. My other members have the same vision and inspiration as I do which is why I think this group will be successful. We will all most likely act in our movie at some point and also film the movie too.

Project Selection-Film

Interest in Film
I am very intrigued about producing a film. Watching film is something I often enjoy, i tend to also break down movies and attempt extract extra meanings within them. Producer's ability to artistically express themselves and put secret meanings in their movies, such as in Ferris Beuler's Day Off, is something I have always admired. I am excited to possibly express myself and flex a creative muscle that I have never done at such a large scale before.
Prior Experience 
I have experience watching movies and also the behind the making of movies. This has shown me the steps taken to make film. I also experience editing videos for fun, these usually are funny videos made for social media.
Challenges
There are many challenges with producing a film. Many challenges could appear at anytime, such as; weather, people, and issues with a camera. It would also be my first time producing this long of a film, which would mean I have many lessons to learn still. Finding actors could also be very difficult, being that we have no money to hire good and experienced actors.

Project Selection-Magazine

Interest in Print Journalism

I feel that print journalism would be an enjoyable experience. It would allow me to artistically express my feelings and design on a certain topic, while also fulfilling the enjoyment of writing on a topic. What I have seen thus far in The Newsroom about print media is that it must interest an audience. There would be a certain level of challenge in attracting the attention of an audience. 

Prior Experience

I have taken a photography class at the school, therefore I have experience taking photos at certain angles.  This also taught me how to be proficient in Photoshop, something that would be necessary for a magazine.

Challenges

I would face several challenges in print media. Mentioned earlier, gaining the attention of an audience with a magazine would be a challenge. Another challenge would be choosing a topic to focus on. Finally, writing on a topic would be challenging, I would have to publicly share opinions, something that can be difficult.
