Themes in Conceptual Film

The themes that most interest me are the human experience and invention and fantasy. First, the human experience theme of art explores the human psyche and the motivation behind human action; it is about looking inward and uncovering the nature of humanity. I am very much a human rights activist, and especially the oppression of peoples because they differ from the social norm is a very important topic to me. I enjoy debating and raising awareness about current news involving human rights, which most recently includes the LGBTQ movement mainly in America and Africa and women’s rights including the threats and harassment faced by several modern feminists, including Anita Sarkeesian who was forced to leave her home after receiving death threats from people angered by her Youtube series in which she points out the sexist characteristics of games. In art, I would like to explore these facets of the human experience and promote a general peace and equality between all of the different identities.

I am also interested in the theme of invention and fantasy; some of my favorite books, movies, and video games share this theme, and I am greatly inspired by the Lord of the Rings and the Witcher series. I really want to be a video game designer once I graduate from whatever institution I choose, and I enjoy the design and imagination of video games with fantastical creatures and worlds, but which also do not seem out of place amongst humans in a sort of fascinating alternate dimension. The Witcher video games based on the book series by Andrzej Sapkowski are my favorite video game series, with The Elder Scrolls being a close second, and the Witcher is a mutated human with magical fighting powers called Signs which he uses while defeating the creatures based on ancient Polish mythology and folk tales which plague or co-inhabit with humans in the fantasy world. I would like my art to invoke the imagination and beauty that I have been inspired by in my favorite works of media and literature.
