Time for an Introduction

 

                       Welcome back to my blog reader! My name is Alessandra and I want to thank you dear reader for following my media studies journey so far, it has most definitely been an interesting and exciting one. It has been a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to progress from AS level media studies to A level media studies which leaves me with excitement to see what comes next with this new phase. Moving forward, something that I believe you should know about me is that I am very fond of editing as well as photography and filming. I am close to deciding which career path I'm moving towards but have not yet decided, I am considering choosing a career that revolves around editing, cinematography, and digital design. Further, I truly enjoy editing due to that it is something that brings me happiness and it is something that I find comforting. Something that I find beautiful about editing and photography is that it allows you to turn something as simple as a picture into something much greater than ever thought possible as well as being able to bring different perspectives into light. In addition, I enjoy the little details found in TV shows, movies, and music videos. Moreover, I also enjoy traveling and going to concerts as it is something that I am grateful to experience with my close family. Additionally, throughout this journey I have being exposed to how creating a film works which has been truly insightful, especially due to my interest in the field. Furthermore, I love being exposed to different languages. For instance, watching shows/movies and listening to music in different languages such as Korean, Italian, Danish, Chinese, Thai, and French just to name a few. This is due to that as I am being exposed to these languages, I begin to pick up words and understand phrases of various languages which I find fascinating and find useful in order to communicate with others and allowing me to truly begin to differentiate the languages one from the other. My first language is Spanish and then I learned English, I am interested in learning more languages such as the ones that I mentioned above as I continue to grow in life (I am also interested in learning sign language). By the way, I also thoroughly enjoy reading and film as both can bring stories to life and immerse you in different worlds. 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...
