Second Set Design

-



In my last post, I designed the set for Lihi's room in my film. Now, it's time to decorate my character's room! This character has a completely different vibe. While Lihi's room followed a light color scheme and had a "cutesy" vibe, I want this room to look more moody and alternative. Like I did in my last post, I also searched for inspiration on Pinterest for how I wanted to design it. Here are the photos:


These rooms look so cozy. I really like the dark, ambient lighting, and how a lot of blankets and pillows are layered on the bed to make it look extra snuggly. Something seen throughout all of these photos are fairy lights. I actually have those, but they're on my curtains instead of on top of my bed. However, I do have LED lights! Alongside turning on my fairy lights, I'll probably set my LEDs on to a color like red or purple to get a dark, atmospheric look. 


 My current room looks nothing like this! Right now, it has the cute and "girly" aesthetic I'm trying to reserve for Lihi's room. To change this, I'm going to layer darker bedding on top of the blanket I already have. I think the dusty-rose sheets and pillowcases I have currently look nice and will fit the vibe, so I'll be keeping that. All I'm really going to do is add more. I'm going to add an additional white throw blanket and more dark-colored pillows. And, I'm going to add decorations to my nightstands to make them look less like they have random stuff on them and instead more organized!



Okay, the room is officially complete! Time for a before-and-after comparison. Voila!


I really like how it turned out. It reminds me of those rooms a lot of people had in 2016.

(For reference)

I also turned on the LEDs, and they really helped! I love the vibe they created. 



Overall, I love how this set turned out. A person's room can be representative of their personality. I feel like I captured the essence of both of my protagonists through carefully decorating their bedrooms. I really resonate with today's set, and may keep my room like this permanently now! 

That's all for today. Because I've finishing making the sets, I should probably begin planning filming dates and talking to my actors soon! So, stay tuned for content about that. I'll see you then!

All About Me!

All About Me! Hi! My name is Jil and I'm a sophomore in highschool. I chose to take AICE Media Studies because I watch a lot of films & shows with my family. I watch them for entertainment, but diving deep into how & why they're made is something that deeply interests me. Through analyzing them, I can pick up on things I had missed before, which allows for a stronger appreciation for the media I already love. I hope to be able to apply the things I learn in this class to the media I consume in the future. Some fun facts about me are that my favorite color is pink, I have a puppy named Bela, and I love to read and draw in my free time.

Stranger Things: Editing Case Study

-

  Today, I'm doing a case study on my latest obsession: Stranger Things! Even in just the opening sequence, the show is able to instill fear, worry, and anticipation within the audience. The preliminary scenes do a great job at setting the tone for the rest of the season, with certain cuts and shots particularly helping do this. In this blog post, I will be analyzing the editing techniques used in beginning of Season 1, Episode 1 of Stranger Things. This scene is showed in the first seconds of the episode. The camera tilts down to show this laboratory, which looks slightly mysterious. This is known as an establishing shot. It introduces the location where a scene will take place. The dim lighting, ambient nature noises, and fact that it's nighttime help set a foreboding mood, painting this building in an eerie light. This alludes to the action that's yet to come. Additionally, a major element of title-card scenes are text. This clip's typography establishes the town the...

Mood Boards!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog! Today, I'll be creating a moodboard for my future film. I'll be trying to capture the vibe of each of my characters--such as their choices of clothing, aesthetic, makeup style, designated color scheme, and others--in each moodboard I make. This way, you can get a feel for how the protagonists look and potentially act. But, before diving into things, let me give you a refresher of my film's plot: "A bubbly highschooler makes it her mission to get the school's notoriously gloomy loner to crack a smile. After 4 years of nonstop persistence, though, she accepts her fate: the loner doesn't value her company or her efforts. It was never worth trying in the first place. However, just when she's about to give up, the loner opens the door to her heart." So, without further delay, let me show you these moodboards! 1. This is my first moodboard, which I assigned to my "loner" character. As you can see, the co...
