Production Blog: Makeup

 So today I went ahead and went shopping for all the makeup products I needed for the second half of the opening. Granted, ia already had most of the things I needed because i'm an avid makeup user, but I aimed to go for something a little different this time so I needed more products. SO, basically the inspiration for the makeup in the second half goes something along the lines of this picture right here. *insert pic* 

Since I wanted the main character to look more mature in the second half I think this is fitting. I'm going to need a darker concealer and cream contour here. I wanted to use these products to give the main character a more lifted/sculpted face to show maturity. This is also meant to show change in character as we see that she gets older. These are the products that I got to help me achieve this look. *insert pic* For reference, the are only the products that I didn't already use last time.


Now, what I plan to do is start of with a primer base to give the illusion of smoother skin since she's older now. and instead of using a really bright concealer that makes the makeup look a little ashy, i plan to mix 2 colors that would compliment the main character's skin tone well. Then, instead of going heavy on blush like I did in the first half of the film to symbolize youth, I'll go for a more bronzed look this time. Speaking of contour, I'm going to go heavier on counter this time around because I want her features to look much sharper. This time I also plan to use a lash primer to excentuate her lashes to make her look more grown up as well. hopefully i can pull this look off with ease.

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
