23. day one of shooting

23. day one of shooting


you know what, i kinda feel like i'm clickbaiting if i dot clarify this right away so... we actually only had one film day, which is what i'm gonna talk about now. our film opening is rather simple, so not a lot of moving around was required, thankfully.


we'd planned to begin filming somewhere around 12, but we actually ended up beginning around 12:30. luckily, it didn't really affect our timeline, so the mission had officially begun once we were all in gia's house. we stumbled across a couple of issues, like how the space turned out a little different than we expected it to be so we had to improvise and rework some of the original shots that we had planned. i actually found that i liked the newer ones better than the original, though that may just be because it was easier to see the new ones in motion, compared to the ones we had simply imagined in our brains.

one of the first things we encountered was video. we had to decide which phone had the best quality, and it was a little challenging. not because either of them were just SO good, but more so because they each had their pros and cons. one phone was good for capturing more in the frame, but had worse contrast with the lighting. and the other one was great with lighting, but looked a little blurry and fuzzy at times. we ended up going with the first one, since we figured quality was preferred, and lighting could be fixed in post.


audio also came up throughout the day. of course, no house is going to be completely silent, and it's not like we were pros at sound isolation. at one point, some of the sound in the next room leaked over and became a little too present in the recording, so we had to figure out a way around it. as a group, we ended up deciding that the best course of action was to continue filming now and dub over it in post. since the scene that the sound leaked into didn't have much to it, it felt like it would be the easiest of options. otherwise, i would say there wasn't too much trouble on that end. :3

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...
