It is finally over. Wow. I have no words, this project has almost entirely consumed and my life in the best way possible. But it's not only this project that has impacted me, it's this class. I was so curious and a bit nervous to take this class in the first place, it looked intimidating, but I knew that it involved things that I wanted to do. It is stressful at times, yes, however it made me create art that I was proud of and that is my favorite thing. Going into this I thought that I wanted to be a musician, my whole life I was dedicated to that idea. But now, I want to pursue cinematography and everything visual and editing. This class has changed my perspective on my life, which is more than I could have asked for. This project alone challenged my skills and what I want to work towards and I couldn't be more grateful for that.
I know i'm getting a bit sappy, but I want to be completely transparent with you. I truly believe that this class has unlocked an inner passion within myself. When crafting this project, I was allowed to do anything and everything I wanted; for example creating my own story, filming, and editing. I had complete creative freedom, which is something that I have never had while constructing this film. It allowed me to fully immerse myself into my art, making it an escape from reality, even when it is for a class. In having myself feel so excited and exhausted at the same time while doing this project, made it feel all worth it to me. This project is a lot to handle and that exhaustion only fueled my creativity more. Making that feeling apart of my film and characters, adding another personal touch.
A lot of the time while I was filming or editing, I listened to a bunch of music. In this reflection I wanted to write down some prominent songs that honestly got me through this project. During the times where I didn't feel motivated to work on this project, these songs helped me push through that. I feel that it is important to my process and my overall reflection.
------------
Here are my list of songs below ↓↓
- Metamorphosis - Your Arms Are My Cocoon
- Stop Smoking (We Love You) - Car Seat Headrest
- Rolling Out the Red Carpet - Hail the Sun
- Much Like Falling - Flyleaf
- Long Term Relationships Were Only Cool When Divorce Wasn't - Merchant Ships
- World star Money (interlude) - Joji
- God Turn Me Into a Flower - Weyes Blood

Even though I said that I wanted to pursue cinematography, music is still such a forefront detail within my life. It helps me through everyday, especially this project. I wanted to sort of get into the mood of my film, so I listened to music that reflected the content and vibe of my film. It was a process that I feel really helped me connect to my film on a deeper level. I wanted to pour my heart out into this project, and I think that I did that. This took up so much of my time and energy, but it helped me push myself for my art. This film is so extremely important to me and I want others to feel the same.
I know that I keep going on and on about how much this film means to me, i'll wrap it up I promise. I just want to leave you with a thank you. You have went on this journey with me and I couldn't be more grateful. It has been a long and hard process, but I finally made it to the end. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me. Thank you for everything.
