Filming Day at the Mall Part 2

 

Welcome back to my blog reader! This is the continuation of our mall day filming at the Ocean Walk Mall in which, as I had previously mentioned that I was unfortunately not able to attend as I had an issue when it came down to no one being able to take me to the mall. My team members and I handled this problem as even though I was not able of being physically present in the filming, I attempted to help my team in any way I could through text and facetime. Hailey and Kyra were scared that they were going to be kicked out of the mall due to that various doors of the mall were closed off and did their best to be quiet in order for no one to tell them to leave the mall, so we communicated through text messages. The first scene that was filmed was where our character was looking around the mall and calling out in desperation for her mother. After this scene, they accidentally went into the side of the mall where there were multiple workers. They let me know that the individuals were being loud as they were working, therefore my team members made the decision to continue the filming on the other side of the mall. Then the next scene up was where Kyra filmed Hailey at a low angle while she was looking into an empty room which then Kyra moved the camera so it could be seen what Hailey was looking into. Then, Hailey complained to us about the part that was up next which was that the time had come where she had to say her lines. Our aim for the scene was to display desperation as it is a crucial factor throughout the whole video, in order to satisfy this expectation, Hailey had to yell in a very loud manner. However, the mall was silent which made it harder for her but against all odds my team got the scene on the first attempt. Then, they moved onto film the scene where Hailey had to open the door of the mall and exit. In this scene, our character had to appear worried, looking back in confusion/fear. Then the final scene in our schedule came which was a tilt where Hailey was looking at the mall entrance sign. This took them a few times to get it just right but at the end Kyra was able to execute the scene by applying distance with the camera from the shot. After they were done, they let me know that they went to the beach. This concluded the filming section for our video as we were now done with filming all of our scenes. 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...
