My goal for Personal Project this year is to gain insightful information about the evolution of filming and editing techniques used in Star Wars films over the last fifty years, and use that information to create an informative documentary. This goal was selected because I want to expand my knowledge on the concerning topic due to my interest in the film industry, as well as my passion for media and editing. By the end of the project, I will identify changes and improvements made in the technical fields (such as special effects) and investigate the methods and process of film creation.
This goal will be highly challenging because it will include a majority of technological advancements and improvements that will have to be identified, and each film will have to be analyzed as well as compared and contrasted to previous/following films. Heavy research will be conducted, and many interviews and articles will be studied and examined. This project will benefit me a lot, and teach me a great deal about advancements in filming and editing. It will also be challenging because not much information about the process of filming and editing has been publicized, therefore I need to dig deep in my research.
Due to the technical field of my project, The global context that I chose was ‘scientific and technical innovation’ (Iborganization. “MYP curriculum.”). This global context is very strongly connected to my goal, as I will be examining the innovation in technology as well as some scientific aspects. In this project, the global context requires me to explore the innovation and advancements in technology (In my project throughout the last fifty years specifically in Star Wars films). This global context will also help guide me through the process of my work and help me focus on the main topics that need to be covered.
