Introduction

Hi, my name is Sophie Ferreira I have had a passion for film and cinematography for quite a few years now, and I am really interested in going into film making and other types of visual art. For me film is an art form that easily allows new worlds and ideas to take place along with beautiful imagery. I also appreciate film with good cinematography as it doesn't just tell the story through the narrative but also through the shots and the way they are presented. Media that has influenced this preference includes films such as Into the wild and directors such as Wes Anderson. The way in which film can be used to evoke emotion or shots can be used in particular ways to convoy the feel of the scene I am really interested in and see it as a form of conceptual art. I do not have a strong particular taking to any genre but enjoy it as long as it's clever, well done, or has aesthetically pleasing imagery.
