Making Good Student Films Takes Time

By Megan Landry


There are a variety of student films that are made each year by people who attend schools across the world. Many of these pictures may deal with what is going on around college campuses or they may focus on a certain controversial issue. Sometimes the very negative events going on will more than likely capture the public's attention since people love gossip. Some of these topics may be about abortion, gay marriage, having guns on campus, race relationships, politics, or date rapes.

Everyone who lives in America knows that abortion is always a very big issue which will ignite heated debates. Women who live on a college campus may want to discuss this with someone who is making a documentary about the subject. This is one way that they can express their feelings to a wide audience without having to face any type of negative backlash. A show about abortion will always get the attention of the staff that is working at any school.

One young movie maker decided to do a documentary about the ups and downs of gay marriage. He found a gay male couple on campus and followed them around for several days. This movie showed how they lived a normal life together which was similar to a male/female situation. Many people were very negative about the show after it was completed but the scholar still received several awards for his work.

After the Columbine High School incident had taken place one very creative scholar made a movie about gun control. In an effort to make his picture more realistic he also interviewed members of the NRA (National Rifle Association). During the filming he spoke to many people who were for and against carrying privately owned weapons. His documentary also included footage of family members who had lost loved ones during this tragedy.

Several pupils decided to focus on interracial dating and the backlash that these couples received from other people. The group involved in this project all received high grades. They were determined to show that racism still existed in America and that many people were still treated unfairly. These wise production workers also found out that many pupils often separated from each other after class if they did not share the same skin tone.

Democrats and Republicans all over America will never agree about anything that is presented to them. People who live a normal life can never have peace when these political parties are at war with each other. One party claims to be very Christian but they are never willing to be charitable to others.

This is a very good topic for any young movie maker to focus on since it will always enrage people. The intelligent pupil will try to be a fair as possible to both sides while making this particular production. He/she will show the good and bad side of both political parties.

A person who makes great student films will always want to investigate the evil part about campus life. This will include the numerous date rapes that go on. While investigating this issue the film maker will question and record security officers and school personnel for details. More than likely these young artists will gain employment from a reputable employer once they finish school.
