<aside> 🖤 Personal Statement
I am a university student at Yonsei Underwood International College, majoring in Information and Interaction Design, Politics and International Relations, and Digital Arts. Yes, I understand these three fields are not the most common combination of studies. In high school, my interests were heavily based on two things: digital art and human rights. Naturally, when I was applying for college, I figured it would be in my best interest to find a major that combines two things that I like, which led me to explore the application of design for the population of people frequently excluded in “average” design. Still, I wanted to do more about my interest in politics, so double majoring in politics was always part of my college plan.
At that time, I was excited to learn about design and human interaction with it, and becoming a designer was one of my possible career choices. However, after working as a designer for several clubs and conferences, I realized that I am not a designer material. Out of everything, I did not care enough. From my other projects, I realized that I enjoy visualizing a story through video media and photography, so that is what I aspire to do at the moment. I met up with Yonsei students also interested in filmmaking and learned about joint majors. Also, while I was exchanging at New York University, I had a chance to meet many film students and filmmakers, and I watched A LOT of films. I naturally became enthusiastic about studying films and videography at university. After long speculation, I decided to do a joint major in digital arts, and that is my story of doing a triple major.
To be very candid, the main reason why I am taking this course is because it is a required course. However, I am always up for learning new things, especially regarding human interaction and experience. And I became more curious about this course after learning that we will be diving into “the future of films” this semester. There are a lot of doubtful and worrying views about the future of cinema people within the field of film. Fewer people are going to the cinema. Fewer people are willing to devote their undivided attention for two hours. With the development of the streaming service industry, human resources and investments are leaking out from the film industry. Some even say that “cinema is dying.” However, as a person who believes that visual storytelling will survive as long as humanity exists, I am curious about what future technology can offer for the future of film.
