So basically for my capstone project, I'll be doing a movie trailer; while I haven't decided what my movie will be exactly at this point, I'll have enough time to work on it. I'll do location filming, and along with the trailer, have a movie poster, and stills from the film.
I'll be working with friends on this, as filming is a big undertaking; my friend Norman Guice will likely collaborate with me the most, as he and I have discussed doing films before. The trailer will probably be 1:30-2 minutes in length, like a real trailer, and try not to use too many special effects, if any.
My idea for my film is something starring someone like Michael Fassbender, and it would be a character driven film. Right now, I'm thinking of having him as an amoral character who gets paid to "clean up" different situations or tie up loose ends. I'm not sure where exactly I'll take it, but I would like something of a character driven story like Taxi Driver or American Psycho.
This will be interesting for me, because I love film and the idea of working on it, and while I've been in some films as an actor (not a very good one), this will put me where I would like to be, as the writer and director, so I'll get to try my hand at that. I'll be open to suggestion and guidance from friends and others though, as this is my first project of this sort, but will have the ultimate final say in the decision making process.
While this will be very intensive, I'm really looking forward to this, because it's the type of project I've been interested in doing for a while, so it'll be fun too (hopefully).
