24. sound




24. sound



we chose to go for diegetic sound for our project. honestly, it would have felt wrong to go for any other choice. like i’ve been yelling in your ear for about twenty years now, the movie itself is something that i think needs to be really personal. it’s a piece of gigi’s sentiments and journey, and i wanted to bring in that sense of intimacy and realness in every way we could. so, diegetic sound felt like the perfect choice, because it grounds the listener into the setting of the movie. you’re kind of limited to what the character can hear, it feels less of being a spectator and instead a friend who is genuinely there in the moment with her.

 

as we were filming, we did run into a couple of issues. we didn’t have the equipment necessary to isolate the sound during filming, which is something I would’ve liked to do. for the most part, we managed. until an unexpected sound leaked into the recording for the last half of it. we’d thought the house would’ve been quiet enough, but life happens, and we had to figure out something else. luckily for us, the scene that had the botched audio was easy to dub over, so we decided to do that later and move onto the last couple of scenes, which would fortunately be shot downstairs, away from the noise.

 

as for editing, it’s mostly just emphasizing certain sounds. i believe we’re using the same software we’re using to edit the rest of the film, and all we really have to do is just add the dubbing and we’ll be done. overall, i’d say the sound aspect of the filming process was the easiest.

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...
