I’m back in school for my final semester of college, and I can’t even began do describe my feelings. I think that they span the whole spectrum of the human emotions. I am excited that I will be done, worried that I will screw something up and not be able to graduate and what I’m going to do after school. Anxious for the future but also hesitant of what that path will bring.
Already I have been getting a lot of questions of what I am going to do after I graduate, if I’m going to move stay around here or go home and live with my parents, and frankly I have no idea. I’m young and don’t have much keeping me at bay from being able to just pick up and leave, besides the lack of funds.
For fun I have been applying to T.V. stations in
There are so many choices of what I want to do and so many paths along the way. I interned at WYTV over Christmas break and it just showed me once again how much I dislike news. I think that the business aspect of making a buck really kills the ability to show good stories. In a three hour chunk of time I was sent out on three stories. There was not the ability to get good video good interviews, just turn on the camera for five minutes and boom get out.
I really want to follow my passion of story telling and work with film. But I am not the only person in the world that shares my passion, so how do I make myself stand out. I think the path that I will ultimately take is trying to find good compelling stories and try to independently fund the films myself. Good theory but putting into practice this notion is where the trouble starts.
I know this log has been random and hasn’t quite flowed to one topic to another, but these are just some things that I have been thinking about. I have a lot of choices for me to make in the next couple of months that will change my life and direct me where I will be. Frankly its scary.
