Howard Hughes

I recently saw the feature film The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This film was about the life of Howard Hughes. Not only did I find the film very well done but it also inspired me to set goals and fulfill them. As I saw the beginning of the film, starting off with Howard Hughes only 22 years old directing his own full length film, it made me look at the limitations I put on myself. He put his mind into something and was able to accomplish it even though he just about put his family business into bankruptcy to make the film. I am currently 22 years old right now and I plan on creating a documentary as soon as I graduate college that will impact the world. Although Howard Hughes eventually ended up insane there are many principals I learned from the start of Howard’s career.

Emotion

This week I came across a video that I found had an emotional impact on myself. I enjoy seeing short videos that can convey a large amount of emotion. This video titled World’s Best Dad , gave me an insight on how to execute a great documentary. One day I hope to travel to other countries and film documentaries for Christian organizations. I hope that one day I can create a documentary that will convey the same amount of emotion and hopefully change lives along the way.

Interest in video

My name is Michael Grow and I am transfer student in my junior year at Gardner-Webb University. I have discovered many sites to view media content and these sites have helped me decide to get my degree in communications. I have had a fasination with the film industry and also how the use of video with simple tecniques can find a way to convey messages with lasting impacts on one’s emotion. One site that has a vast index of video content is Youtube.com. This site has given me an interest in creating home video which has inspired me to eventually create professional video documentaries.
