Production Blog: Costumes

Today my costumes came in the mail today. So I created the outfit combination I plan to use for the second half of the opening. The items that I will be using is a navy blue plaid pleated skirt and a white chiffon top with a tweed blazer. I decided to get this outfit for my costume because in the second part of the opening the main character is supposed to be older. This is in direct contrast to the main chapters first outfit which was a lot lighter in color to symbolize youth. The first outfit was paid with short hair and half-up half-down styled hair with a blue scrunchie. In this second half there will be no scrunchie. She will have long hair this time to show growth. But since my costumes came in a little late today I decided to not do a try on and instead just show it in the picture below. I kept the schoolgirl theme the same throughout because the main character is obviously still supposed to be a student. The only difference is that she's 2 years younger than her present day self in the first couple of scenes. Thats why I chose semi-formal attire that led me to the pleated skirts. The darker, older outfit is representative of the characters maturity, and the long hair shows the same. With this costume arrangement I hope to get the point across that a lot of time has gone by that causes the major changes in physical appearance we see here. and the first outfit looked a lot more disorganized and childish, which was intentional. the juxtaposition I made with the second outfit thats more put -together and mature says a lot about the internal changes within the main character too. I hope to see that these costumes can show this change in character through the screen With that being said, the picture is attached below.

Production Blog: Photoshopping

 okay so today I made used photoshop to create fake screenshots and profiles for the extra characters I'll be using in my opening. so first I started by taking screenshots of my actual instagram page on my MacBook to get a desktop view. Then, I airdropped these screenshots to mymy phone where I input them into this editing software called pics art. in PicsArt I removed the pieces of information I didn't want like the username and flower sound and edited themto customize his fake profile. I blocked out the username (which is my instagram user handle) and changed it to Megan.K (which is the main character's catfish name). Then, I blocked out the bio that I had in place to replace it with something new. In the place of the nameplate I changed it to say Megan Baby and on the third line I put NAHS as a random high school name. Then, for the 3 follower phases I had planned, i made each phase change from 2 to 3 to 4 digits. This is mean to show the drastic increase in followers th

Genre Research: Lady Bird

Image
 The last drama film I watched was Lady Bird. It's a Drama/Comedy and the drama side seems to shine through a lot more here. It's a narrative in the perspective of the main character, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson. She strives to attend a prestigious college. Unfortunately, her grades aren't the best and she comes from an extremely low income family that's situation increasingly gets worse because her father lost his job. Because of her obsession with going to a prestigious university's, she's willing Tod o everything she can, including betray even her closest friend to make connections. Throughout the course of the movie she and her best friend are seen doing almost everything together but once Lady Bird sets her sight on something new, she often compromises the relationship with her best friend to get it. This creates a major conflict from the start where she slowly but surely changes up her personality to appeal to whoever she's trying to impr

Shantaneil: The Start

Image
 Hello, my name is Shantaneil Francis. I'm currently attending Fort Lauderdale High as a 10th grader this year. This year is very important to me because I've been looking forward to taking this class since last year. One of my reasons being, I've never been the most artistic or creative person, nor have I gotten the opportunity to learn about film or media until I enrolled in Fort Lauderdale High. Another major reason I took this class is to be able to look at the progress I’ve made in this course. A lot of the time, students tend to forget what they’ve learned in a class and move on once they got the credit. I, however, find it rewarding to see how far I’ve come when learning something new that I like. I hope that with the knowledge and possible experience I gain from taking this class that I'm able to develop my creative skills for the future. I've tried testing new hobbies to find something that I enjoy but nothing seems to stick. One thing that I've always
