Going From Model To Actres

 A Fashionista As An Actor

Welcome back guys for todays blog post, I wanted to discuss my experience of doing the acting in our project. At first Elliah was going to do the acting but this was changed as she didn't feel like she could do it so I took over the role. I know right? Me as an actor? I felt a bit nervous about this at first since I didn't have any experience in this field.

Acting is a really important component of a movie. A good actor can make a movie amazing and create a character that the watcher feels close to and can understand their feelings eve simply by facial mimics. On the other hand a bad acting can almost ruin a movie, if the actor cannot make the watcher connected with their character it can create a shallow effect making the whole movie distant for the watcher. So best believe I felt pressured and responsible for doing such an important aspect for our project.


At first I was definitely nervous, What is I can't portray the character well? What if my emotions out too shallow? and such, but to be honest I tried to not beat up myself over this matter as I needed to give myself a chance first. During the day of the shooting especially in the beginning we redid multiple shots because my acting did feel off and looked a bit unnatural. I am a person who generally does not wear their emotions on her face, so to really draw an expressions on for this role felt challenging. I felt like even though I tried my face was just still not perfect to portait our main character. After a few shots however I felt myself getting used to it and grasping the idea of acting. Even though to be honest I do want to go back and reshoot some scenes to improve my acting and make the movie opening more enjoyable.

I want to portray Gigi to the audience as someone full of emotions, to do this for the reshoot I want to practice almost 'overreacting' to make our character more authentic to herself and personality. Also the costume Gigi wear in the movie opening correlates with my personal style, I think this is a great opportunity for me to get into character as I am already in my comfort zone by wearing something similar to my everyday life, by doing this I think in some ways I can try getting out of my comfort zone by putting more emotions to Gigi's character. I hope to better give off to the camera what kind of person Gigi is. I think for the reshoot I will already be more comfortable with acting since I more or less got used to it in the first time we filmed. 

That is it for today's blog everyone, be sure to comment if u have any tips for me! I'll see you in the next blog. Bye!

  Movie Review In Season Welcome back my beautifuls for todays blog post! A truly classic movie many of my fashionista lovers probably heard of and enjoy "The Devil Wears Prada" even the title gives me goosebumps! Today I will give a review of different angles, movements of camera, and transitions used throughout the movie. The movie follows our lead Andrea (played by famous actress Anna Hathaway) as she experiences working in the fashion industry. Let’s start in the beginning, just when we get into the film there’s is an important scene where the boss of fashion runaway Miranda arrives to the workplace. She is shot by the camera in a low angle which really emphasizes her importance of a character right in the beginning of the movie. By using a low angle shot Miranda appears intimidating and confident , the audience can already get the chills form her! She if often portrayed from a low angle throughout the movie indicating her importance at the Fashion Magazine company. ...

CCR  Welcome back my beautifuls in todays blog I will be discussing my reflection I had regarding the project! To do my reflection I decided to draw an animation to illustrate and do a voiceover, I also included some slides to condense some information. I think the animation is very cute and kind of an attention hook. It took some time to finally complete it as I first drew the animation and timed each frame so it matches the voiceover. Then I edited the two together using Capcut. I think it turned out pretty good. You can view it below: Then below you can also view the transcript as well as the questions I have answered: Question 1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Hello, my name is Gyongy Liposits and I am the creator of the film opening eighteen. , it follows the main character a girl, Gigi, who is just turning 18 but does not yet feel ready for adulthood. this is a coming-of-age/slice of life genre, and we u...

The Finished Collection Welcome back my beautifuls for today's blog post! Today I am happy to announce that we have finally finished our entire project! I! I just have to say it was sure an interesting and fun experience. I tried and learned a lot of techniques regarding media including learning about different angles, shot sizes, camera movements. I even made my very own story boarding twice! I also learned about the miss and scene of movie making and how costuming, the setting, actors, lighting, all of that can add so much characteristics and improved story telling to a movie. When making our project there were lot of things we could use, and making the right choices in our movie making did put up a challenge for us. Creating a story opening with the mood we wanted to convey and to tell our storyline required us to think about a lot of components when it comes to movie making so we could make this project something we can be proud of presenting. I feel like we accomplished our ...
