Abstract
Making Movies is History in Our World
Films in our world history have impacted storytelling, and economic impacts, and have driven our world to learn our world with visual lessons. I am a person who lives in South Carolina and I made a movie with no budget and just an idea in my head. I have created a movie called “Ruby” and have been working on the film the last year of my life. Professor Peter Caster has been a professor of mine many times teaching me film history and film lessons. This current spring 2025 semester I am taking his Horror film Genre class. This genre is my personal favorite in film and I have directed, produced, and written a short film with no budget. I have taken lessons from film class about how our world around us really does effect on how movies and stories are made. Movies are always relating to the economy around the release of the films. This creative project goes into the field of filmmaking and storytelling making the movie important for showing characters, dialogue, and style of which in 2025 is ways the film is conveying lessons of what is going on in our world.
I created the idea in April 2024, while I knew I would submit this film into the symposium because of professor Caster’s advice on doing so. Him and I have been planning for me to finish the film in 2025 and I would take his class of horror class in which my film is a horror film. I have gathered talented people from the Greenville area with no payments at all because all have the passion of storytelling. Making this movie scary and creating caring characters about a message of growth is important portion. Making the film create the ways of a person having to learn a new area and new people is in this story. Making the scary portion creates the entertainment for audiences in today’s climate that box office revenue the past five years includes horror films. The film is completed and for the past year and a half is ready to present this creative project to the symposium that will create the importance of storytelling and even admiring the films creation of people with just a passion, I am very proud of my movie and I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy it and be a little scared.
