29. group dynamics





oh, this is an interesting topic to write about.

 

Our group has been doing fine, thank god, so I don’t really have any complaints to levy. I will admit there have been some miscommunications here and there, and it seems like we’re discovered some parts of our personalities that clash with each other, though that’s not something that I’d consider a serious issue. As long as we’re having fun and the project s getting done, that’s all I can ask for.

 

I will say, I think this project has actually been bringing me closer to some of my groupmates. It’s been nice to share all of our creative ideas and find out that we actually share a lot of the same ideals and experiences. It can get a little hectic in the school environment, so sometimes knowing basic stuff about a friend an just fly over one’s head, but working together both in class and outside of it has made us slow down and get to know each other a lot more. We connect over ideas, and it often surprises me how we all have the same idea, but different ways of communicating it. I’d say everyone is pulling their own weight, we’ve all been working hard to make this as best as can be, or prevent each other from doing too much and risking the project’s completion. Admittedly, there are times when we’ve stepped out of our designated roles and dipped into each other’s a little too much, though it all turns out fine. Most of the time, a little cross-contamination has actually helped make the project better. You know, like mixing paints together to create the perfect shade.

 

It’s been interesting to find myself leading, and also being led. There have been times when my groupmates have looked at me to approval, and then times when they’ve taken charge of a situation for themselves. In past groups, I’ve been kind of used to being the go-getter, to motivating the team and directing them on what to do. So I’d say its nice to have people who can keep up and actually work with me, not for me.

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...
