Short explanation for why I chose my major.
I chose Screen Practice and Production as my major because all throughout my life I have always had a fascination with the way films and music videos were edited. The first time I was inspired to have a career in this industry was when I went to watch ‘X-Men First Class’ at the movies. It was the first time I had really grasped the concept of visual effects editing and I was mesmerised by it. I remember focusing more on the way it was edited, rather than the film itself. I felt like it was a reflection on the passions that I had but I wasn't sure how to make a career out of it at that time. That day, I left the movies with a dream of what career I wanted to pursue when I was older. I chose this major because I felt like it was very broad in the production film sphere and would give me more opportunities If I felt like leaning towards another position. This course has given me hands-on experience in this industry and what my future jobs will be like. Since starting university, my career goals haven't changed and I am looking forward to pursuing a career in editing in the film industry.
