1) Short Film Project
Objective:
- To create a professional-grade documentary-style film that portrays a fictitious story based on true events relating to my childhood band. Duration about 15-25 minutes. Additionally, create a small social media campaign/ profile for the production and release of the film.
Story:
- After two albums and years of hard work, despite being relatively unknown, the band had finally gained a large enough following to book a spot in a decently sized venue. However, only two of the original five members are still part of the band.
Tools:
- Adobe Creative Cloud, Video Equipment, Audio Equipment, Lighting Setup, Locations, Actors
Benefits:
- I have worked on a project like this before – I would be able to show the skills I have mastered and accumulated over the course of my SJU education.
- I have been planning this project for a very long time.
- Will be using a production crew
- The most amount of creative liberty.
Drawbacks:
- Very Complicated Execution
- Not as professional as the other options
- Requires the help of external people
- Requires a lot of pre-production work.
- I have created something like this before
2) Meet the band Interview series
Objective:
- To create professional-grade interview-style videos introducing local (at most x2) Philadelphia bands. Additionally, craft small social media campaigns highlighting the members, their music, and upcoming events.
Tools:
- Adobe Creative Cloud, Video Equipment, Audio Equipment, Lighting Setup, Locations, Band(s), Travel/ Production Expenses
Benefits:
- I have worked on a project like this before – I would be able to show the skills I have mastered and accumulated over the course of my SJU education.
- Can be created and seen in a very professional manner.
- Will be the head of a production crew
- A large amount of creative liberty
Drawbacks:
- Complicated Execution
- Need to acquire higher-grade equipment
- Requires the help of external people.
3) Social Media Project
Objective:
- My mom has recently started her own leadership consulting company which works to promote the ecological self. She has asked me to create a small series of videos and social media posts to get their business off the ground. Potential conversation-based content using her and her co-founder to explain the mission goals of the company.
Tools:
- Adobe Creative Cloud, Video Equipment, Audio Equipment, Travel Expenses
Benefits:
- Will benefit multiple people
- If executed properly, the project will be very professional
- Will not need a production crew
Drawbacks:
- With the main focus of the project being social media post creation and design, I am nervous to choose this project because that has never been my strong suit. Not my field of study.
- Would have to travel to New York multiple times based on what the project requires.
- Less complicated execution, however, will be very regimented and I will have less creative liberty.
