Project Selection - Film

I have always been a fan of movies, I have sometimes even though of being a director a few times. The film project could be a good way to learn more and explore that field and find out whether or not it would be something I would enjoy doing. It  has always amazed me the ways that a film crew is able to bring a story to life and give meaning to something that typically has no value in life. We all know that horror movies are over dramatized and fake beyond reason, but the music, dramatic sounds, lighting and framing is able to artificially create and overwhelming sense of fear and dread that we feel as if we our selves are going to be attacked. Even a film like The Avengers and the avengers series, we know that they are fake, we know that they will beat the bad guy one way or another, but the actors and crew are able to draw the audience in and make them forget that it is fiction and doesn't matter in the slightest, we feel for the characters, we are sad when one dies and we laugh along with the crew as something funny happens. Film studios are able to create such real fantasies that we are tricked into believing in fiction, believing that we are part of the group on screen and we feel as though we are in their world. Making something even remotely close to this standard would be an amazing accomplishment and is an enticing challenge. I don't have much experience in this field and that would definitely pose a huge problem, along with the fact that I would have to create a story, find people willing to participate, learn how to edit, and many other troubles along the way. I believe that this would be a difficult, but fun challenge and it is definitely worth considering for my project.
