37. my inspiration (1)


well, barbie. that might be obvious, or not. I mean, Its not likely I’ve basically built a shrine to her out of these blog posts or anything, hahahaha… ha.. ha.

 

but, will all seriousness, It really was barbie. I grew up on a mix of things, barbie, monster high, and ever after high. those were my girls (still are, Im just a doll collector now) and, with the greatness of the dolls, came the absolutely magnificent and life altering experience of the movies or series episodes that were made to market the dolls. I can easily pick out a few that Inspired me, but Im gonna spread them out over 3 blog posts, one for each. this one, of course, Is for barbie.

 

specifically, I’m gonna talk about barbie In a fairy secret, and how that Inspired me when we were coming up for the Idea for the title sequence.

 

now, If you’ve ever seen any of these masterpieces, you’ll know they usually have very cute title sequences. usually In a montage style. this movie, though, had an opening sequence that followed barbie getting ready to go to a movie premier. and If you’ve read literally any of the blogs Ive posted about the film, you’ll know that our title sequence Is quite similar. of course, there are some differences, like how the barbie one follows her getting everything on, while ours ss just makeup. and that we don’t have magical fairy attendees to magically change our hair and glitter-fy Items of clothing (I wish though.) so ours ended up a little different, but i think the inspiration and similarities are there nonetheless. like with the other franchises that i'm gonna talk about, it also inspired the song. very glittery, pop, and would probably play in Wally's restaurant. everyone say thank you barbie in a fairy secret!

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...
