Time to Challenge Myself

 

                            Welcome back to my blog reader! As you know dear reader, when I was in AS level media studies, I worked with a wonderful group that taught me communication and collaboration skills which I highly value and hold dear now as an A level media studies student. Moving forward from that experience to now, I have decided that this time and for this project I am going to challenge myself further and I'm going to work by myself in order to see how far I can go and push myself for the better. Now that you know that my group consists of only myself, I would like to talk to you, reader of mine, about my experience of filming and editing as well as what I wish to improve this time around. In my previous projects, editing and filming are skills that I have been exposed to more and more as time went on due to those experiences. By giving myself this opportunity to work on a project by myself, it can serve as a way of showing me how far my previous projects have gotten me and how did they polish my skills. A way to truly see how from not knowing much about filming and large-scale editing projects to having to communicate and collaborate with other individuals to bring our ideas to life as a whole, to now working by myself in order to really be able to demonstrate what I have taken away from this wonderful experience of ups and downs. Further, I am extremely excited to be starting to work on this project due to that I feel that it can most definitely build and polish my skills even more and can provide me with more knowledge therefore highlighting its educational value. Moreover, I am aware that this is going to be a much more difficult experience than when working in a group and I am aware that I might struggle from time to time. However, I am honestly up for the challenge as it will provide me with more room to grow and improve as well as providing me with a brand-new experience and with an opportunity to put my skills to the test. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader! 

. Facing the obstacles of working by myself with excitement!

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...
