Student Films Are Always Great

By Megan Landry


There are a variety of student films that are made each year by people who attend schools across the world. Many of these pictures may deal with what is going on around college campuses or they may focus on a certain controversial issue. Sometimes the very negative events going on will more than likely capture the public's attention since people love gossip. Some of these topics may be about abortion, gay marriage, having guns on campus, race relationships, politics, or date rapes.

Everyone who lives in America knows that abortion is always a very big issue which will ignite heated debates. Women who live on a college campus may want to discuss this with someone who is making a documentary about the subject. This is one way that they can express their feelings to a wide audience without having to face any type of negative backlash. A show about abortion will always get the attention of the staff that is working at any school.

One young movie maker decided to do a documentary about the ups and downs of gay marriage. He found a gay male couple on campus and followed them around for several days. This movie showed how they lived a normal life together which was similar to a male/female situation. Many people were very negative about the show after it was completed but the scholar still received several awards for his work.

There have been so many tragic incidents because of guns that were used by mentally unstable individuals. Documentaries have always been done on this topic since the horrible incident at Columbine High School which took so many young lives. Pupils will continue to make these movies in order to keep the public informed.

Several pupils decided to focus on interracial dating and the backlash that these couples received from other people. The group involved in this project all received high grades. They were determined to show that racism still existed in America and that many people were still treated unfairly. These wise production workers also found out that many pupils often separated from each other after class if they did not share the same skin tone.

The whole world knows that politics will always make people argue for hours. There are two party systems within the United States who never seem to agree about anything. They are called Republicans and Democrats and these individuals will make the average person quiver with fear.

Very smart scholars can produce an accurate movie about politics. They will always show the very dark side of both parties who do not really care about the working class individual who is struggling every day. Political movies from certain pupils are often entered into contests which offer awards.

Student films may also showcase the many problems of date rapes which happen at many colleges. A very determined pupil with great sleuthing skills may question and record campus security personnel about these incidents. This is the kind of documentary which can land a smart scholar a job at any television station after graduation.
