Visiting the Museum of Moving Image was a very rewarding experience. It was cool to physically see what goes into making a movie. I really enjoyed the Behind The Screen exhibition, the interactive set ups were fun and informative. My favorite part was the dubbing room. Didn't realize how simple it could be to change the sound of a film and that actors would redo lines without actually filming the scene over again. I also thought it was pretty cool to see some of the actual props and costumes used in major films. The set design aspect of the museum was something very new to me. It was amazing to see how detailed the models of the sets were. Also how scaled down architecture could be filmed to look as though they were huge buildings. The idea that set designers could accomplish so much without using CGI or the actual thing they were trying to replicate is mind blowing. Overall I found out that simply zooming in on something can have a completely different look and feel through the lens of a camera. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the museum of moving image.

Artist statement

Freshman year of high school I was introduced to the love of my life, photography. A few cameras were around the house and just my luck one of them still worked. I bought some film and took my love to football games. I had to be on the sidelines taking stats for the players so why not also take pictures. Every week going to get them developed was an exciting time. I could not wait to see my masterpieces. Not every picture was a winner but as time went on I created my own style.

Fast forward to sophomore year at brooklyn tech and choosing a major. My mother wanted math and sciences but I could not leave my love behind in the media major. She called to me and I answered. I enjoyed every moment of my time spent on photography in class. I crafted my art and understood what I loved to shoot the most was nature. 

As time went by nature was nice as a hobby but the real money involved human subjects. And so I lost my love a little when I had to involve the general public. Even though they paid they took away from my love. Shooting events was not fun it had become redundant. So I decided to try out film and editing. My new love flourished, people were no longer a burden.

In this class I hope to achieve greatness within my film productions. Perhaps I can be as amazing as Spielberg but for now the excitement of tomorrow brings with it a curiosity to explore my new love film in ways I have not done before.
