Taking a Day to Research

 

                 Welcome back to my blog reader! The next step in our schedule after finishing the filming the scenes of our first location, the highly anticipated filming day at the second location was up next. Our second location is our main one, this is the one and only Ocean Walk Mall. My team and I decided to check the location first for safety before beginning filming as this is an abandoned building. There were multiple factors to be considered as I have mentioned before. Prior to this, we researched the abandoned place and found out that it is almost entirely empty, and a small amount of light goes through it. We read that the ponds had dried up a long time ago and that the businesses that were part of the location were not functioning anymore. We found that this place was somewhat of a strange location to be in a way, we read an individual’s encounter in which they stated that the floors seem as if they did not have an end, and most were decorated in a different manner along with the place also including some old-fashioned telephones that are not in function. This place is located under a resort on a beach that is extremely popular with tourists. The abandoned mall gained attention recently when one of the individuals staying at the popular resort when to explore the location and posted on social media their footage of the place along with their experience. Not long after being published, the video went viral which made lot of individuals resurface with multiple about the findings of the place. The website where we were able to find more information about the mall let us know that the place was worth going to and explore due to the preternatural feel that it provides to its visitors. Due to that this now abandoned mall was once a functioning World War II hospital, many have mentioned that it's supposed to be hunted. The place contains multiple areas that have closed off for good, the walkways are the areas that are more accessible to us. In addition, the stores and offices have been closed off as well and the structure of the place does not look unsafe (in terms of physical features). After gathering all this information about this location, we decided as a group that bringing an adult with us would be in our best interest. 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...
