Senior Capstone Documentary

In my senior capstone course, I was given the task of planning an event that targeted a social justice issue. With my team, we decided to create a documentary that highlighted the issue of homelessness in New Haven, CT. We went throughout the city and conducted interviews with those who were comfortable being in the project, hoping to give them a platform to speak on such a emotional and critical issue. 

Along with this documentary, we conducted an event that allowed people to come and view the film. At this event we also organized a food and clothing drive so that we could donate any items to those in need throughout the community. 

In this project I assisted with the cinematography and collaborated with my group on the entire direction of the film. I also assisted in editing and color correcting this project on Adobe Premiere Pro. This project taught me the importance of planning effectively and how important the promotional process is in event planning. I also gained more familiarity and comfort in editing and was able to present my project at SCSU'S Annual Undergraduate Student Research and Creativity Conference to continue to spread awareness.
