Art
For the art portion of my project I went and found clips from different films. When I found the clips I needed I put them all together. Putting them altogether would create a mini movie/trailer of my past. The clips in this product would show case time in my past from when I was around nine to fifteen. At this point and time I had witnessed and had experienced some manipulation in religion. This also involves personal aspects of my life with my father and how religion made us have a falling out. I brought my experiences to life within the film to give a more depth look into my life and the behind the parts of religion that people don’t talk about. There was a lot of context because In this cinematic film I researched and learned how to edit scenes as well as color grading, audio editing, cutting and splicing various shots together.
Social studies
For social studies I researched manipulation and the psychology behind how the church gets people to say yes and get people to do crazy things in the name of ‘god’. There was a lot of context within this product because I had to look at my personal situation from an outside standpoint and look at all the facts within the situation. I looked at the mental aspect of what happens in people's brains that makes them flip a switch. How People can be brainwashed into believing everything someone says based on a belief and not something that they are shown. My research will mainly be part of my product but I will also be inserting some of the information I have gathered from my sources into annotations of the mini movie I made for Art. This research helped me heal and confront the feelings that I was pushing down towards my father. It helped me understand his brain better and finally understand that nothing was my fault and sometimes thats just how peoples brain works with abuse, manipulation, and religion.
English
I wrote a script and context went into it because I researched and analyzed all the components that go into writing a script and how it is done. I learned the all the aspects of screenwriting and everything that goes into making a film. Looking back into my younger years I wrote out certain memorable scenes and try to bring them to life within the script. These scenes depict what manipulation in religion is like first hand and what it is like to experience it.
