Intro Blog



                       Welcome back to my blog reader! My name is Alessandra and I love to edit pictures and videos. This is something that I am passionate about and find enjoyable and comforting. I also have a social media account where I post my edits! As of right now, I am thinking of choosing a career path that revolves around cinematography and digital design. In addition, I like to find little details in videos/pictures/movies/tv-shows/music and music videos. I just truly appreciate and enjoy the smallest details in them, they make such a difference to me. For example, in BTS's song Black Swan there is a line that says (Translated to English) “Seems like time has stopped” I love how that line is represented in the choreography. Another example is when a lyric video makes its own video due to that there is not an original video to the song and they are able to put together different scenes from various music videos of that person, group or movies/tv-shows to tell the story of that specific song instead of just using random scenes from other videos that don't fit the story and when they use an aesthetic picture that fits the song instead of using a simple color background, that is something that I find interesting and something that I very much appreciate. Furthermore, I also like Music/Movies/TV Shows in different languages. I enjoy  listening to the language and how that leads me to learn a bit of that language, for example how I have been watching many Korean dramas lately and listening to music in Korean has led me to understand some words and tell the language apart from others. I like how listening to other languages has allowed me to start differentiating them and have the ability to recognize them. Additionally, I like photography. I like taking pictures because it is something that leads to something greater, for example, I could take a picture of the sky and then use it as background for one of my edits. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

Back to the Editing Room

          Welcome back to my blog reader ! After ta king in all the advice and comments that my close friends Jasmine and Jada provided me with regarding my sho rt fil m “Lucky” after they watched it. I have gathered all their suggestions and concerns and have taken them back with me to the editing room. Further, for the scene where Gabriela, the protagonist of the film, interacts with the stranger to ask where the event is located . There was poor quality audio for that scene as I filmed it at the mall therefore there was background noise as well as the sound of the wi nd. This scene is a crucial part of the film, thus I had to fi nd a solution to the problem. I asked the actress who plays Gabriela and the actress who plays the stranger to voiceover that scene in attempt to make it easier for the viewer to unde rstand the dialogue as it plays a vital role tha t in the story and leads to the suspenseful areas of the film.

Our Plan

Image
Welcome back to my blog reader! Here is our plan for the music video project! Props:   . Since we chose the song Material Girl, we plan to display a young girl living a lavish lifestyle. To portray this, we plan to use fake money, sunglasses, and a feather boa as our props.  Costumes:    . In our video, we will have one main subject, our material girl, with others playing supporting roles. For the material girl, they would be dressed up in long gloves, fake pearls, and a nice long dress, preferably pink. To fit the stereotype of a gold-digger, they would also wear a blonde wig, a feather boa, and expensive looking sunglasses. The actress would have on light makeup, with the most bold part being some red lipstick.       For the lower class boys, we would have them dress in casual clothing, such as jeans and a hoodie. Any lower class girls would dress in similar casual clothing but may wear skirts, short dresses, or shorts as well. On the other hand...

  Creative Critical Reflection 1 .        1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? . My group’s product was a L'Oréal Paris Lipstick, and its  company usually target s their products at older audiences, mostly adult women . The main theme of L'Oréal products is that they make you feel young once more, due to that their advertisements for the most part consists of women being portrayed as being energetic and living life to the fullest because of the makeup they use. Regarding the lipstick itself, is that it goes against the ideal of the cultural beauty standard that states that the idea of beauty only applies to youth. The colors that they use ar e to contrasts the colors (such as more skin tone, matted colors) that adult women would on a daily basis wear . The company L'Oréal, introduces these women as adults (older) yet elegant and pleasing...
