Production Blog

  Hey welcome back! Throughout filming this music video, it's been very fun to think about all the props and outfits needed to fit the description in the lyrics of the song 'You Belong with me'. Through much consideration, I figured that the outfits of the good Taylor, the evil Taylor, and the best friend in the middle, had to show different personalities and show the social class of each girl. I knew that because evil Taylor is a very popular mean girl, her character should be wearing very preppy and modern outfits. Since the good Taylor is more modest and conservative, her character would be wearing more basic or less sheek outfits. The character playing the best friend in the middle of the evil and good Taylor would be wearing clothing that is in between conservative and modern or both. In the music video, you will be able to see the outfits that were chosen for each scene and be able to tell who is the evil Taylor, good Taylor, and best friend in the middle. For props, my group and I had come up with using our iPhones to make the "phone calls" to each other in the video. I had used a whiteboard for the sign saying "I love you, i'm sorry" and Omnia used a notebook for the sign towards me saying "I love you too". Overall, had a very fun time deciding outfits and picking props around the house that would suit the production of this music video. Talk soon!

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...

A Comparison of 12 Monkeys & La Jetée

Heyyy blog welcome back. Prior to researching these two films I didn't realize how similar the two storylines were. I was distracted by the use of still images compared to video sequences to notice the plot. After watching “La Jetee vs 12 Monkeys… which is better?” I see that both films explore the idea of time travel and the consequences for your actions. La Jetee does this through the use of images to tell this provoking story. When creating our own short film we are able to take these to films and use them as inspiration. We want to incorporate more complex ideas that leave the audience thinking. I think our goal of our short film is to really throw the audience off track almost like a plot twist. We could maybe even incorporate the idea of a natural disaster just like La Jetee and 12 Monkeys. After watching the two films we also took the video style into consideration for our film. The La Jetee images are black and white so the film has an older, more dark feeling to it. For th...
