18. costuming




'ello, 'ello! welcome back one 
and all to my blog, today's blog
post will probably be a little
shorter than usual. we're gonna
be discussing costuming in our 
group film today!



now, usually when you think of costumes you think of very unique, remarkable pieces that instantly distinguish the world or character it belongs to. dorothy from the wizard of oz and her red heels and blue gingham dress, the bright orange camp half-blood shirts and greek armor plates from the percy jackson series, barbie and her iconic pink... everything.


but, in our approach to costuming, we decided to take things a little more casual. the movie is supposed to feel personal and realistic, it deals with a heavy topic so it wouldn't feel right to put gigi in a clown outfit or something. but it also didnt feel right to put her in mourning attire. she's meant to be just a teenage girl, doing her best. so, we chose to go for some cute pieces. some jeans, a tank top, and a jacket was about appropriate. and the lovely gia already had some great choices, so it was fairly easy to decide. we also chose to have her wear a birthday sash, because it would show how excited she originally was for her birthday. both of these choices, the sash and the casual outfit, serve to humanize her and create even more immersion.

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...
