Labels: Spring 2009, Survey
1. What is your name (first, last)? Hannah Mann.
2. Do you have a preferred name or nickname you would like us to use? No. My name is boring.
3. Do you own your own computer? If so, what platform (Mac, PC), and what operating system (Windows XP/Vista, Mac Tiger/Leopard, Linux, unsure)? If not, have you had experience with Mac or PC or both? No; I live at home, so I use my parents' PC. It has Windows XP. I can't recall if I've ever used a Mac.
4. Do you own a digital camera and/or video camera? If so, describe your gear, and talk a little bit about your experience capturing still and moving images. I have an Olympus 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 'movie' setting; and a cheap Polaroid, which I never use. I've experimented with the Olympus for a lot of amateur photography, and have gotten several passable images out of it. I don't use the video function often because it uses up a lot of memory storage and battery power. I've also played around with my dad's JVC video camera a bit.
5. Have you ever edited a video before? If so, what software did you use? I tried. Couldn't even get the images on the computer. I think that was more due to equipment incompatibility than general ineptitude.
6. Have you worked with sound (or music) before, either performing, recording, or processing? If so, please describe. Nope.
7. Who are your favorite filmmakers? I don't have any "favorite" filmmakers but I do like Ridley Scott, Alfred Hitchcock, Ang Lee, and Hayao Miyazaki.
8. What are some of your favorite films? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hotel Rwanda, the first Pirates of the Caribbean, A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Lord of the Rings triology, Titus; also, I'll generally watch anything with lots of cool martial arts action in it, especially if it's choreographed by Yuen Woo-Ping and has Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, or Zhang Zi Yi in it.
9. Who or what inspired you to pursue studies in Film? I've always been very good at art and writing; and I enjoy a good story. Film seems like a perfect way to incorporate those two elements.
10. What kind of career do you imagine for yourself in Film or other Media Arts? Well, I hope to be a screenwriter and director. That's my goal, but I think I would enjoy editing as well, and generally any position that deal with art/making things, such as costume designer or background props.
11. Is there anything else you would like us to know about you? Yes. I'm profoundly deaf. That's why two people follow me to class and type out the lecture on a laptop so I can keep up with the class. And I get to save the transcript on my USB drive, so I don't have to take notes. (Well, not a lot of notes, anyway.) It's sweet.
I use a cochlear implant as a substitute for hearing. I've been told that cochlear implant "hearing" sounds like a Dalek. Kinda like "pixelated" sound. It'll be interesting to see how the Drift projects go for me.
If for some reason you need to talk to me, don't freak out. Just make sure I can see your face when you speak, and avoid places with a lot of background noise. Chances are my interpreters will be around to help. Failing that, I usually keep a pen and paper on me. :)
