Well, it’s time for me to try this
again, my senior capstone. Luckily I already have a project started. It is my
intention to use this semester to not only completely finish my previously started
project, but to make some improvements to it. Mainly focusing on smoother
transitions between scenes and making it a little more concise. I also hope to
improve the title sequence and add a decent end credits sequence. This is in
addition to making my presentation board look as professional as possible.
The project in question is a short
documentary about stage combat, focusing mainly on the combat troupe I work
with closely. This group, Body and Blade Swordsmanship focuses on teaching how
to do proper theatrical stage combat, which is both safe and appears real. My
documentary follows the group through a single performance season, from beginning
of the choreography to the end production. By following from beginning to end
like this the viewer gains a little bit more perspective into what goes into
making a modern stage fight. It also contains interviews with Jake Priddy, the
founder of the troupe and main choreographer, as well as interviews with
several members of the troupe who rank in status from novice to adept and
scholar.
Having an extra semester to work on
this also has the added benefit of allowing me more time to build up my portfolio,
both online and hardcopy. I also have a little more time to make my business
card look professional. I recently had the idea to include a QR code on my card
which would link directly to my online portfolio and resume. This will allow me
to hand out my business card at job fairs and let interested parties look at my
site immediately from their smart phone or other device. This shows prospective
employers that I have the ability to work in a multimedia world and keep up
with innovation.
Hopefully by making my presentation
look better and improving upon my portfolio and business card I will be able to
get a good entry level job upon graduation.
