14. final project idea

helloooooooo everybody and welcome back to film theory!

...no? okay. but seriously, welcome back! today's blog post is very exciting, because we are gonna be discussing the final project idea! now, i dont think this is gonna be very surprising but we did end up going with the idea that i had previously talked about in this blog! ^^ 

we've developed it a little bit over time, though most things have largely stayed the same. for example, the film opening is still gonna follow the same kind of protagonist, the plot is still the same, and so is the setting. well, mostly. we only tweaked a couple of things, like changing the time from night to day, the way in which protag's father informs her he wont be home in time, how the title sequencing will work. we'll get into all of that little by little today.

first off, title sequencing

now, i know i JUST mentioned this, but i do feel this is one of the bigger changes. at first, we had planned to have the protagonist flick through old photos on a digital camera, and have the title sequencing occur through that, but we realized that would be a little difficult. we don't have a digital camera, and the photos would probably not be the easiest to get. apart from that, minor tweaks to the storyline and order of events had made this moment not make the most sense within the story, and it ended up getting scrapped. instead, we decided to have the title sequencing occur when she's getting ready. we felt this was something that would feel more casual, yet relatable. almost every woman in the world knows how it feels to be sat in front of a mirror, putting on makeup and getting all dolled up. its not an activity that allows for much multitasking, so you're left with your own thoughts and your reflection in the mirror. its an important step in a lot of people's everyday routine, and it just felt right to bring it into this specific moment in time.

it also allowed for more creativity. with shots and with the way the title sequencing would be done.

08. mise en scene

08. mise en scene for today’s blog post, I will be analyzing the scene composition of (obviously, I mean this is a no brainer)... now, before we do that, we must first describe what exactly mise en scene is. according to my research 🤓☝️, mise en scene is a French term that refers to the many elements that make up one scene. This includes things such as lighting, the positioning of actors in the frame, costumes, the way the set is staged, anything that the camera’s view touches. i hope you processed that, because we're gonna dive right into it. now, the obvious thing that stands out about the mise en scene in barbie is, obviously, the set dressing. the props in the movie often look plasticky, and in some of the scenes they're actually just stickers! (like in her fridge, which is exactly like how it is with the actual dollhouses) fun fact: there was a shortage of pink paint in the world from how much was being used in this movie! so, considering it's abundance, of course th...

44. final project! I wanna thank the academy, I wanna thank my mom, my dad, my bed…   No, but seriously, it’s been a long road to get here, so I’m excited that the final project is here! We had some hiccups along the way and she was a very stressful delivery, but we are here nonetheless. There’s not much to say here, but I will add in a couple of disclaimers and extra things. So don’t worry, you’re not missing anything too important (I know you just wanna watch the video, not read me talk endlessly like always)   DISCLAIMER: For educational use only!   The song at the beginning of the opening was done by me! I wrote the lyrics, sang it (…let’s not talk about that lol) and added in the sound effects (credits to my friend for the laugh, sorry for making you record it 20 times) I went more into detail here, in case you want to know the credits for the beat and one of the sound effects.   That’s pretty much it, so I hope you enjoyed this little journey with me. I certain...
