My strange but wonderful aspirations: why I chose RTF 305

Why am I taking thing class? Well, let me start off by saying that recently I had an epiphany about what I wanted to do with my life. The machinations of my mind are very odd and the fact that I had passion for so many different areas only made it more complicated. You see, I've had a passion for music composition, writing, telling stories, animating shorts and being very involved with every aspect of any project.

I was deeply fascinated with the artistic mediums through which people expressed their emotions.

My mind is much like this collage: inconsistent but colorful.

While some people may look at having various interests/talents as an asset, it was more of a detriment for me. I couldn't quite decide what path I would  pursue for the rest of my life. Was it music? Was it writing? Was it animating or story telling? I felt that whatever field I chose, it would be at the expense of the others. Until one fateful night when I realized what I wanted to do.

I decided that I wanted to be a film director so that way I could influence each creative area of any project as much as I possibly could. However, in order to fully appreciate or understand each field (or most fields) of expertise, I would have develop those skills. For example, if I wished to set a mood for a film through the music, I would have become a film scorer myself. Of course I can't simultaneously perfect every talent. So instead I work within reasonable boundaries while still maintaining my passion.

I chose this class not only because it will count towards my intended major, but because I hope to shrink the world and make as many cultural ideas and emotions as accessible as possible.
