1. How did you hear about BCEC? Please describe any past involvement with BCEC.
I heard about BCEC through Facebook! I saw it on my invites page, and the club looked well suited to my interests, as I have spent the last year and a half starting to work in the industry, and most likely want to end up working in entertainment back in my hometown of LA.
I haven’t had any past involvement, and all I can say is I regret not knowing about this club sooner!
2. Why are you interested in the entertainment industry, specifically film?
My initial interest in entertainment stemmed from the world I grew up in Los Angeles where so many of my neighbors, friend’s parents, and just general social community were involved in all the facets of the industry. As I have gotten older, I have really found an interest in the business behind film. From film marketing, financing, distribution to studio operations its all so fascinating. This past summer I took a course at UCLA on the Business of Blockbusters, and I got to see all the business related sides to entrainment, learn about everything from marketing to box office analysis, and hear from well-qualified and respected professionals from different areas of the entertainment industry.
People gather around entertainment, and everyday people can be overheard talking about their favorites movies of all time, movies they just saw, and films they are anticipating. I want to a part of creating those films that people love. People will always
The most meaningful club/activity that I have participated in during high school has definitely been DECA; which is an international
Ever since my parents bought me my first camera, I’ve been hopelessly attached to it. Film was always something that intrigued me, and I spent most of middle school with a camera in my hand. That didn’t end when high school began. As I furthered my knowledge of film and photography throughout school, I found more opportunities to create something bigger than myself. Using my passion for film and photography, I aided with Tri-M Music Honors Societies community outreaches and events. I have been involved with Tri-M for three years and have held two officer positions, currently being the President. This organization helped me to decide my career path by giving me opportunities to create advertisements and analyze marketing strategies on a small
Traditionally, the hospitals will discharge a patient and connect them with inpatient and outpatient providers. Now the Accountable Care Act is a very customized health system, which is geared to cater to their patient demographics and lower cost. This customized assessment will provide creates a health improvement plan geared to the community being represented by focusing on their community health care needs. The Accountable Care Organization uses their direct community needs to create a diverse system, which would effectively address patient’s needs.
I participated in NSSHLA last year. I attended the socials, and it allowed me to meet other individuals in the major. I went to several of the guest speakers last year. I was so interesting to hear from people actually working in the field. Being apart of this club makes me even more excited about this major.
Campus security at Louisiana State University of Alexandria is not as good as it should be. LSUA, like most college campuses, is a campus where almost anyone from anywhere can step foot on campus without having to go through any security checks. Someone can easily walk on campus grounds and possibly harm students or faculty. This is a very important issue that LSUA faces daily along with many other colleges and universities around the country. LSUA’s campus police has around 6-7 officers, which isn’t enough to cover most of the campus. Every now and then I see a university police officer patrol the campus streets trying
The support of the club has given back to all areas of influence including schools, cemeteries, businesses, and programs such as the Warrior Outreach. The club has been involved with many outstanding events such as feeding the homeless; providing gifts for under privileged kids; partnering with local schools to help establish a positive foundation for the youth through interaction; clearing and cleaning overgrown cemeteries with the preservation society; and assisting with the restoration of homes belonging to citizens in the area. One of the most interesting things that the club does that should never go unnoticed is empowering and providing great leaders with an outlet to be able to do these amazing things. Individuals will struggle to find a way to make a difference in the community, but when like minded individuals come together the opportunities seem to present themselves in abundance.
I have been a part of JROTC for the past four years of my high school career. During my time in the program, I gained more self-confidence and was able to venture out of my comfort zone, which allowed me to join numerous clubs and organizations throughout my high school career. The clubs include the Chess Club for one year, the Environmental Club and AFJROTC Honor Guard team for two years, and Science Olympiad all my four years of high school. The organizations include the National Technical Honor Society for two years and National Honor Society for two years as well and voted Vice President.
One of the reasons why I am attracted to Wisco is its number of clubs and organizations. I look forward to exploring more of the opportunities to
A club that I had always wanted to be apart of since my freshman year of highschool was The Beta Club.
One of them being Crimson Chaos. I am a sports junkie and any organization that is related to sports sign me up. I also believe in supporting your school in every athletic event they have because that shows your dedication to not only the teams, but also having that sense of pride in your school. Another organization that I got hooked up with while at orientation was FATE or Future Alumni for Tradition and Excellence. The main reason I decided to join the organization was because their goal is to get students to make friends while here at the capstone. I am all about making friends because I have never met a stranger. It’s all about making connections and building relationships when you go to college, so I believe this will be a great organization not only for me, but one for everyone else to consider
A club that I have enjoyed being in since fifth grade is Beta Club. Currently I am the Historian in my high school Beta Club. Some people may believe Beta Club only focuses on academics, but it does so much more. Even though academics is a big part of the club, we also focus on leadership, achievement, character, and service. Our club traveled to the national convention to compete about a year ago. A competition I entered was called the “Meeting of the Minds”, and I was on a team with three other people. We went in not expecting to win anything, because our school does not seem to place much at state conventions, but we tried our best. To our surprise we placed first in the competition. It was so exciting when we realized we won first.
At this point I was also president of Math League and serving as editor of Arlingtonian for my second year. By the end of junior year I was looking for even more ways to affect my community in a positive manner. I was writing applications for summer camps, and had discovered through hours of self-searching and wallowing in my mind that I really did care about leaving a legacy, even in a small way. Then I had a brilliant idea -- either brilliantly meaningful or brilliantly trivial depending on who you are --, that I would start a new Save the Bees club. I brought the ideas up with my friends, who were nothing but supportive, and quickly established a basis of what we would do. I found an advisor, Mr. Polotaye, and after a few forms and a quick meeting with Mr. Fanuele himself, we were made an official club, with this year as our first. I’m truly excited to see where the club will go, but I’m even more excited about what I could do with it. We could raise funds for a bee activist organization, or hold bee-related awareness events, or maybe just plant bee-friendly flowers in the courtyards. I am thrilled that I will be able to leave a lasting make on Arlington in the form of a club, but above all I’m glad to have made a positive impact on my community in more ways than
With this short but very interesting and informative class I have just scratched the surface of the what it takes to make a full fleged film. It takes much more than I had presumed to make a movie in Hollywood. The number of people that it takes to make a minute of a movie let alone the entire movie was astonishing to me. There are many things that it takes to start making a movie but without an idea of some sort there is no movie to be made.
My entire life I have been fascinated with film and commercials. As a kid, I would stop what I was doing to watch a commercial. This has not changed through the years. My goal in life is to work in the film industry and work with video. This may have developed from my brother’s short term love for the video arts. Like most little brothers I followed in his footsteps through a lot of things and most of them would not stick. As I grew older I developed my own different ideals and likes. But, video just stuck with me. Even if film production doesn’t work out I have always had a childlike excitement for fighting fires. Being the person to save the day is something that everybody wants to do, but not everyone peruses this dangerous career.
The American film industry needs to step up its ‘game’ if it wants to succeed as an international player. Create new genres, TV series, increase publicity and advertising to gain back its international viewers. The American film industry should search for new and upcoming talented producers who can bring a whole new meaning to the global organisation. It has to reach out to all
