It is Time to Review

 

              Welcome back to my blog reader! Now that I have filmed and edited my short film named “Lucky,” it is time to show it to some individuals in order to get a second opinion from someone that it is not involve in the project as a way gain different perspective and see it through a different lens which will aid me in finding the mistakes and little details that I might have missed which will provide me with an opportunity to fix them therefore enhancing the project. I have requested two of my close friends Jada and Jasmine who were available to watch my short film and let me know what are some of the areas are that require attention. First, both of them agreed with the fact that the opening scene has two different takes and that it is noticeable therefore suggested that I would try to find another way to paste the scene together in order to not disrupt the continuity and flow of the scene. Later, they commented that they truly enjoyed the arc shot from where Gabriela is standing in confusion at the mall while she was speaking on the phone with Nancy after she had encountered the stranger therefore adding this build up concern and confusion up which is shown through the arc shot. Further, they commented on the voiceover that I made for the interaction between the protagonist Gabriela and the stranger. They stated that it was not bad, but it wasn’t good either, which is something that I agreed with as I had mentioned before that I was not pleased with how my solution for the audio quality turned out. They said to try to come up with another solution as it only needs a little bit more fixing to get the results that I want. Moreover, they mentioned that they enjoyed my voiceover of Nancy as they stated that it fitted well within the film. Their only negative for my voiceover was that possibly I could add another effect that will make my voice sound even more as it was coming from the phone. Further, they liked the zooms for the door but told me to make it more dramatic and shocking. Overall, they stated that they enjoyed the short film and that I should take those little details into consideration, which I will. This means that it is time to go back to the editing room. Well this is my cue to leave, until next time reader!

          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...
