My Capstone project was designed to consist of three parts. Two designed costumes, two completed costumes, and a screenplay in which the costumes would be worn by characters within. Through all of these things I wanted to explore the way that art methods as well as style fade in and out, and how older mediums are recycled over time. My costumes in particular are inspired by the elaborate details of Victorian era costumes. Though back then the costumes would have been used in party settings or possibly on stage, my CTE program requires my project to relate to film specifically hence the my aspired screenplay utilizing my costumes in picture.

Due to overestimation of my ability to use time wisely, I was only able to complete about half of what I set out to do. I will be presenting two designs for a costumes as well as one fully completed costume. Through these designs you can see how they were made for their greatest advantage to be on screen.

For my capstone I made a documentary. My documentary is about the skateboarding community and is titled go skate. This film highlights the struggles of misogyny within the skateboarding community. I interviewed multiple women skaters about their personal experiences with skateboarding. I also interviewed several men about what they think of the skateboarding community to bring to light the sexism within it. The end of my documentary is finished up with a collage of skate clips I have collected throughout my years of being a skateboarder in Philadelphia.
