Discussing Our Next Step

 

Welcome back to my blog reader! My team and I agreed that after gathering all the resources that we need it to start the filming process, we would then set in a journey to find the location that suits us best taking in consideration the theme/aesthetic that our film requires and most importantly a place that is safe for us to film in. At first, we considered filming in an abandoned mall as we thought that it would go extremely well with the film. However, we had multiple concerns about the mall as it appeared to us that it could be very dark inside and the only source of light would be sunlight. This seems like a small problem now, but it could turn to a much bigger issue when we go to film as that day the sun could set (which would lead us to a need a different/multiple days of filming to get it right) and that would not go with what we wanted for our film. Another concern that we have (the most crucial one) is that the location might be unsafe as the place could possibly be crumbling and be unsafe to inhabit. My group and I conducted some research and we found out that that there was a girl that went exploring a building that had been abandoned and sadly she injured herself when she fell through a hoistway (We gathered this information from a news article about what had occurred). In addition, a final concern was that the abandoned mall could be a place where young individuals might enjoy hanging out in/might be considered a popular location. This could most definitely become a major issue as our main character is supposed to be in a dystopian world where she is by herself. Therefore, we would also have trouble finding a place where we can legally enter, one that does not hold any danger, and a location that will allow the vision that we have for the film to come to life. We also decided that an adult should be with us, Hailey’s sister will be the one that will accompany us to our locations. Moreover, we came up with our choices for the costume of our character. The accessories are still in the works, but for the outfit itself we agreed that it should be clothes that a normal High School girl (a teen) would wear. Regarding hair, she will have dark brown hair with soft curls/waves to it. When deciding on the makeup, we agreed to make it extremely minimal as we need to make her character fit the situation, she finds herself in. Shoes will just be ordinary sneakers as she will have to run/walk. 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...
