solved As a filmmaker, it is crucial to understand who you

As a filmmaker, it is crucial to understand who you are now and how your past has shaped your current outlook and orientation toward the broader social world. This reflection exercise asks you to take inventory of the experiences, stories, and people in your personal history that inform your perspective and really pinpoint the subjects, themes, goals, and desires that are most meaningful to you at this moment in time. When searching for a subject or theme for any course assignment, come back to these answers to remind yourself of what you care about in the world most in this world and why. These answers are here to “keep you honest,” so to speak, in your intentions as a filmmaker and help you develop an artistic voice that feels true to your experiences. There are two components to this exercise. The first part should be completed in private and does not require you to submit anything written. The second portion should be submitted directly on this Google Document by noon on Tuesday of Week 3 (Oct 12). Part A. Complete this portion on your own in privateList your key experiences. Make sure that you are somewhere quiet first. Then begin to write some rapid, short notations as things come to mind. Make a private, non-judgmental list of your most moving experiences. That is, any experiences that have profoundly moved you, whether to joy, rage, panic, fear, disgust, anguish, love, etc. Keep going until you have at least 10-12 marks written down. Some will seem “positive” (accompanied by feelings of joy, relief, discovery, laughter), but many will seem “negative” in that they carry disturbing emotional connotations of humiliation, shame, or anger. Try to resist making any “positive” or “negative” value judgments about your experiences. They all mark important truths about you, your journey, where you have been, and where you wish to go next. Arrange these key experiences into groupings. This is a technique called clustering, and it helps reveal structures, connections, and hierarchies within your life’s experiences. Feel free to organize them in any way that feels pertinent. Then name each group and define any relationships you can find between them.Describe a single, powerfully influential experience, and the mark it left on you. Keep the description brief.Example: “Growing up in an area at war, I had an early fear and loathing of uniforms and uniformity. When my father came home after the war, my mother became less accessible, and my father was closer to my older brother, so I came to believe I must do everything alone.”As you externalize your inner agenda, you naturally start to see themes emerge on the page. Any single, deeply felt theme can find expression through many film subjects, each one very close to you, yet none of them autobiographically revealing.Part B. Submit your responses to this portion directly on this Google Document:In 1-2 paragraphs, summarize your authorial perspective and orientation by completing the four sentences below. The more candid you are, the better, but you need not disclose anything too private.The theme(s) that arise from my self-study are…The subjects for which I feel most emotionally connected are…The changes for which I strive as an artist, person, and a member of my community are…Other important goals I have in this life are…
