So, to recap from yesterday, the plan was to meet today during study hall to sort out our plans for editing. Needless to say, this turned out more difficult than we hoped. Since we all have different study hall periods, it was hard trying to group together. As of now, most of the teachers are hesitant about letting students in who do not belong to that class. This proved to be challenging, and instead we decided on communicating through text to plan out editing from our own study halls. This proved to be helpful, since for the past couple of days, I've been really busy trying to tackle school and dance. There is also the fact that midterms begin next week, which has me a bit stressed out and distracted from this project. With the load from school getting heavier and the demands from dance practice increasing, its been exhausting trying to keep up. However, I am grateful to have this team full of hard workers and people who plan ahead of time. I am the type of person who generally ...
Although it has only been a day, some things never change. I finally got home after a long day of competing. From my last blog, I gave an update that I was competing at the national qualifier tournament. I ended up breaking to finals! It was a very thrilling moment as I worked very hard to be where I was. At the awards ceremony, I was sitting very anxiously as they announced the results, and ultimately the top three qualifiers for nationals. Although I did not make top 3, I did achieve fifth place. Achieving fifth means that I am instead the second alternate. So, if two people from the top three were to not make it to nationals, their spot would be replaced with me. Alternatively, if one person from the top three cannot make it, and the first alternate cannot either, then I could take over. I was slightly disappointed that I did not qualify, I am not going to lie. However, this was my first year competing in Original Oratory, so I am grateful for all of the success I have had leading u...
My group is doing a Lipstick commercial. After some research, we ultimately decided on the brand L'Oreal Paris, in the color riche. In these commercials, we often see extreme close up shots (ECU) of the lipstick being applied on the actor's or model's lips. The majority of commercials for cosmetic brands focus more on women, which is stereotypical. In fact, all of the commercials I've watched while conducting research consisted of all women actresses or models. The actors often wear costumes of plain clothing, usually of one color or very limited variation. This is probably to draw attention away from the actor's other aspects besides the lips, or facials. The body language of the actor/actress in most lipstick/cosmetic commercials tend to be happy and energetic, expressing their joy of the product. The appearances consist of very natural styled makeup; nothing exotic to draw the audience's attention from the lipstick. The commercial sometimes uses e...
