WE ARE MONSTERS WE ARE PROUD!


banger of a song. madison beer the girl that you were back then was my it-girl, forever the goat. anyway! you may or may not recognize these ghouls up here. if you do, good. i see you and i are both scholars of good taste. if not... you're on thin ice, bucko.


but like i said in my last post, we're gonna be going through my main series and dissecting the influence they've had on the work i've done for this project. because, honestly, these franchises shaped me so much as a person, it might actually be pitiful. today, we're going to look at monster high!


now, monster high has not only influenced me, but also my teammate, gia! we both share a love for the freaky and fabulous ghouls of the franchise, so there's no doubt in mind that it has definitely blended into how we approached this project. in particular, i think it's impacted the fashion. while the outfit gigi wears doesn't really look like something out of monster high, it had some similar silhouettes. A little bit of a bulky jacket, a slim tank top, and fitting pants that widened at below the knee. monster high also inspired my song! while there were other factors into it, the girly vibe around the franchise definitely had an impact around the way i went about searching for that sound that was just right. i often pictured my favorite girlies jamming to it, and used that to determine if it sounded right or not.


had the movie been an actual thing, i do think it would've also inspired the later aspects of it. monster high has a  focus on friendship, which i think is also part of the movie we would've created. the franchise centers a big friend group, and often stresses the importance of staying together and supporting each other even if we don't exactly understand what the other is going through. that's something i would've liked to have brought in, if the movie had been real.

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...
