Last Thursday, the communications department held their capstone event for students graduating this month. There was a total of six students who all presented their capstone projects they have been working on all semester. The first presentation was one of my favorites. The student did an adaptation of a story she previously wrote. She displayed her drawings for her project and they were very good. Also, she was cool and confident presenting to the audience. Another presentation I enjoyed was a student who started a YouTube channel. This was particularly intriguing for several reasons. First of all, I watch a god bit of YouTube. I don’t have cable while I am away from home at school; I don’t watch much TV these days anyway. I mostly watch YouTube tutorials by people who do things that I’d like to do someday so it was interesting to see what posting content on YouTube is like. I ended up having a conversation with the student about it after the presentations were over.
Also, one student who’s studying digital filmmaking made a short film for his capstone. This was interesting to me because I took a music video class as well as narrative screenwriting. His presentation reminded me of these classes and of how much goes into these types of things. If I was better at it and more creative I might have done some type of combination of film and music. The genre of his short film was a psychological thriller which I am a fan of so it was interesting to learn about his thought process. The event went well and I enjoyed attending it.
