Through the course there are many things I have learned as a filmmaker, photographer, and storyteller. As a filmmaker I pay more attention to the setting and feel for the colors and the mood those colors are associated as this makes it important for telling a story. I enjoyed the small photo and video projects based on the book because it solidify my understanding of the book and applied to my final project. My challenge though was grasping more abstract concepts and that made me doubt my images but I still wanted to try the image. I don’t truly believe in that manifest anymore, I think film-making can be an art and powerful but there’s more to it such as keeping in mind of elements outside your art such as the time your are living in and also keep in mind of how settings play. I did not assume anything because my knowledge of photography and film was limited in regards of art based and more knowledgeable on event filming.
