15. mood board.


wooooo! okay, so, it was a bit of a rough ride (not really im just dramatic) but here's the mood board for our project! its just a general idea, so it might change a little as we go, but its a good starting point. here it is!



now that you know what it looks like, take a second to really analyze it... think about what each thing could mean.

okay thats enough time.

lets get into it! one of the first things you may notice (because it really pops out against the background) is the birthday sash! as you already know because you obviously read my brainstorming blog (please say yes), our film centers around a girl's first birthday without her mother. that was one of the first things we wanted to represent with that, and with the other pictures of a party and cake. specifically, i added a picture of melanie martinez's "pity party", a song which talks about celebrating your birthday alone. i really felt like it related to the film, and if i was the girl in it i would probablyyy be crying myself to sleep to it, haha. aside from that, the other most clearly seen thing is the darkness, which i'm sure isn't what you were expecting. my group and i wanted to focus on the mood surrounding it, something that feels heavy and gloomy, hence the dark lighting and rain. 

also adding onto that idea, we tried to choose pictures that specifically felt nostalgic, specifically for the ones about the family. to remind us of the storyline and what the main problem is, we included portrayals of their characters in there. for example, the stereotypical stock image of a business man is a representation of the girl's father, who is too busy at work to come home in time to celebrate her birthday with her. the picture of a rose on a casket is, obviously, about her mother's recent death. and the rest are pretty much self-explicable. its either specific shots we have in mind or scenes that are key to it.

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!

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...
