My Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Sean McClelland and I am from Westfield, Indiana. I am a freshmen majoring in film production. I have been interested in film making since I was very young, and my hope is to follow my dreams of becoming a filmmaker. I like to watch the behind the scenes of movies to learn about the technical aspects of film making. For most of my life I have been writing fictional stories in hopes of them becoming a short film or a movie one day. During my senior year of high school, I took a video productions class, taking it helped improve and teach me the technical side of film making. It helped me build a foundation for my passion, and I hope this year I can learn more from others who share the same passion as me.

I love listening to and creating music, it helps and inspires me when I am writing. I started playing the piano two years ago when my family inherited a 1904 Grand Steinway B Piano. I am self-taught and I play purely by ear. I’ve written some original songs as well as many covers that I have learned. I believe that music is a major part of films, it helps create the emotion and mood that the filmmaker is trying to convey. I hope to one day write an original score for one of my short films or features that I work on. I am excited to learn and gain more experience in film making here at HU!
