Abstract

Ball State’s Department of Telecommunications offers wonderful programs for undergraduates that enhance their understanding of video, audio and the film industry. However, the department does not require students to create one final video or audio project in order to graduate. I used this Honors Thesis to give myself a final project that demonstrates where my time with the Department of Telecommunications has led me and to reflect on myself as a future filmmaker. The Theory (or Conspiracy) of Fanta Martin is a short film and script that follows a college student and his journey to creating the greatest soda of all time, while dealing with rejection and his own self image. Fanta Martin is designed to showcase my talents I acquired from being a Ball State University Telecommunications major and serve as an example to other students to create their passions. Do not let a pandemic, lack of budget, or the denial of another slow you down on your quest to create. Whether it be for yourself or your potential career, if you love your idea, then make it.
