PRODUCTION PROPOSAL

 

TITLE & GENRE(S) :

"Beautiful Faces Fall In Love" 

Concept and storytelling 

​

WRITER’S NAME:

Viktor Fedorov Anglada

 

SYNOPSIS – OUTLINE THE ELEMENTS OF VIDEO

​

A man with a facial deformity seeks love to "Love Me Do," facing rejection from passersby. Simultaneously, a confident woman, also with a facial deformity, struts with self-assurance. The climax comes when the man, feeling an instant connection, finds love in the woman who shares his struggles. The video concludes with their faces aligning like a heart locket, symbolizing unity and completion.

 

• U.S.P - STRATEGY 

​

My strategy in this music video is to create an odd yet compelling narrative that many of my target audience could relate to as it covers topics of self-esteem, love, and insecurities. The use of masks will create an immersive and bizarre visual due to the faces being the shape of 2 halves of hearts and will have interesting textures as well as costumes paying homage to paul mccartny and iris caldwell.  I will be making a suit for pauls character and a can can inspired dress for the female character. The costumes will feature men and womens insecurities but presented in a fashionable context. For the men's body I will manipulate the posture as its one of men's insecurities. The womans look I will focus on   about 2 characters 

​

• HOW YOU’VE USED THE ASSIGNMENT BRIEF 

​

• USE OF WORDS / LANGUAGE / TEXT – (TITLES?)

 

Ive decided not to include dialogue or text in my music video in order to follow the traditional music video conventions. I want the video to speak for itself and be able to tell the story and present my concept visually rather than having to contextually explain the plot and meaning. This will push me to make the storyline even clearer. 

 

• STYLES / CONVENTIONS/TECHNIQUES

​

Interpreting the music:

 

As my characters walk, their movements will be synchronized with the music. The camera angles and shots will play an important role in interpreting the music, especially during the second verse, where I plan to create a long tracking shot for the long 'please' in the second verse 'So please, love me do, Whoa, love me do.' This elongated 'please' gives a dragging feeling, and I intend to visually show this with the costumes as I plan to have the male character have these extremely long sleeves to further express the message of despair and being tired of feeling alone. I will also interpret the music through the type of walk the actors will portray. I Envision a slow, cowboy-esque walk, I aim to capture the essence of the song, which incorporates instruments and riffs commonly found in old western tunes, particularly with the use of the harmonica."

​

Allusion (to something or someone)  :

​

Cutting to beat :

​

Multi-image : In my music video, I will incorporate a split screen to visually represent the two characters experiencing similar issues, alluding to their connection and showcasing the differing perspectives of both individuals. I've employed this technique to suggest that both characters will eventually meet and to provide depth to the concept of the heart charms, with each piece being individual in the split screen. This approach may help viewers understand why the characters' heads have such a peculiar shape. The split-screen technique also allows for innovative compositions, creating a cinematographic scene that adds richness to the visual narrative.

​

Camera angles : The use of the different camera angles will be meticulasly focused in order to convey the emotions of the characters and their journey to find love and their struggles. Ill be using long shots to express the feeling of the character being alone and unwanted due to their looks. I will also use close up shots to show the insecurties but to show to the audience the unconventional parts that i find pretty. tilted angles will also be used toto enhance a disorienting or uneasy feeling in a scene.

​

Narrative :

​

Homage :

​

In this music video, I am paying homage to Paul McCartney and his ex-girlfriend, Iris Caldwell, who was as the muse for the song "Love Me Do." My homage involves creating costumes inspired by Paul's iconic suits and style, as well as Iris Caldwell's can-can dancing dress with stockings and a layered skirt.

The reason for this homage is rooted in the fact that Paul McCartney met Iris Caldwell while she was performing the can-can, a dance form that involves high kicking while holding up the front of a full ruffled skirt.

To further accentuate the homage, I will include a reference to 'Abbey Road' by filming a side shot of the male character walking in a crosswalk, paying tribute to the famous Beatles album cover. The primary focus of the homage will be in the costumes, each mirroring the iconic styles associated with Paul McCartney and Iris Caldwell, as well as their story as I will make the male character spot the female character to stay accurate to how they met.

​

Impressionist:

​

Surrealist :

​

In my music video, I'm embracing surrealism through both the costumes and the faces. I'll be creating masks that, when aligned, form the shape of a heart. These faces will show peculiar textures and shapes, purposely staying away from realistic faces. Despite their odd looks, the intention is to convey a deep narrative addressing insecurities and self-image. While the storyline stays somewhat realistic, the surrealist elements, especially in the faces, aim to stimulate a deeper level of interpretation. By using surrealism, I'm inviting the audience to interpret it their own way from the visual narrative rather than explicitly conveying my message.

 

• MISE-EN-SCENE – INCLUDING OBJECT / COLOUR CONNOTATIONS

​

The color connotations in the music video "Butterfly's Love Friends" play a crucial role in conveying emotions and themes. Vibrant colors evoke joy and playfulness, pastel hues contribute to innocence and dreaminess, earth tones ground the scenes in nature, bright whites highlight purity, animated bee characters use black and yellow to symbolize challenges

​

During the music video, background characters will be incorporated while the main characters are walking. This addition serves to create a more dynamic and populated environment, adding depth to the scenes and enhancing the visual storytelling. The background characters contribute to the overall mise-en-scène, enriching the narrative with diverse elements that complement the main characters' journey.

 

• EDITING / POST-PRODUCTION

​

In the post-production phase, careful editing will be undertaken to seamlessly integrate the background characters into the scenes. This involves adjusting lighting, shadows, and perspectives to ensure a cohesive visual presentation. Additionally, post-production efforts will focus on maintaining a consistent color palette, enhancing the enchanting and vibrant atmosphere of the video. Special attention will be given to transitions and effects to create a smooth and polished final product.

 

CONSUMER PROFILE (TARGET AUDIENCE) WHO THE MUSISC VIDEO APPEALS TO AND HOW…

​

My music video appeals to the targeted age of 15-23 because based on my research and personal experience this age struggles with insecurities in themselves and in their love life. This age demographic is known to start exploring and feeling left out by seeing all their friend or people around them falling in love and finding someone that makes them happy which can result to low self esteem and put insecurities out there making them feel undeserving of love. This narrative is exactly what i plan to express in my music video. The weird characters will create a surrealistic and exaggerated expression of this topic. 

​

"Butterfly's Love Friends"

WRITER’S NAME:

 

Viktor Fedorov Anglada

 

SYNOPSIS – OUTLINE THE ELEMENTS OF video

​

In a dreamlike and vibrant environment, the music video opens with two butterfly characters, immersed in a lively and colorful garden. They fly, dance, and hop from one flower to another. The harmonica begins to play, and the butterflies seamlessly transition into an easy and catchy dance, their movements synchronized. As the butterflies explore the whimsical garden, they encounter a magical flower. Curiosity gets the better of them, and they jump into it, instantly growing to human size. Undeterred, the giant butterfly friends continue their exploration, now dancing among the leaves. The harmonica's playful notes set the backdrop for the butterflies' journey of friendship. They engage in heartwarming activities, helping each other navigate the oversized space, sharing laughter, playing games, and protecting one another from animated bee characters, symbolizing challenges and dangers. The dance sequences, perfectly in tune with the harmonica melody, reflect the seamless connection between the two characters. As the music video concludes, the butterflies, having experienced the highs and lows of their journey, hug and wave goodbye to the bees.

I will be applying backgrounds to the green screen for half of the music video. To create the illusion of the actors actually being in the flowers i will have to align their movements with the setting. To make the butterflies fly I will have to add tracking and change the position every 0.3 seconds in order for the flying to be smooth, i will additionally have to change the size of the actors while flying to make the movement realistic. As the character is flying tit will get closer

TITLE & GENRE(S) : "My Lovely Teddy Bear" (Music video)

​

WRITER’S NAME: Viktor Fedorov Anglada

 

SYNOPSIS – OUTLINE THE ELEMENTS OF THE MUSIC VIDEO

​

In the magical world of our "Love Me Do" puppetry tale, the curtains open to reveal a joyful puppet dancing on stage. Soon, a teddy bear puppet joins in, and together, they dance in harmony. Throughout the playful scenes, we see shots of a real child hugging their teddy bear, making a sweet connection between the puppetry and real life. Another puppet, representing a child, enters the stage, and they all engage in playful activities, mirroring the joyful moments of childhood. The puppets form a group and dance together, echoing the theme of love from the song. As the tale concludes, the curtains gently close, leaving behind a heartwarming story of the special bond between a child and their teddy bear, perfectly suited for our 5-9 age audience.

​

• U.S.P - STRATEGY 

​

My use of puppetry in my music video

 

• HOW YOU’VE USED THE ASSIGNMENT BRIEF 

​

I've used the assignment brief as I've proposed a music video using the Beatles song "Love me do" from the "1" album featuring all of the Beatles number 1 hits. I have taken into consideration the age of my target audience and done research to make my music video appropriate and enjoyable for the audience of 5-9-year-olds. The use of puppetry and having a narrative based on the connection of a child and their teddy bear is relatable to my target audience as they most likely have or had a plush toy that they were attached to. Using puppetry is also an engaging and creative way of telling my narrative. 

 

• USE OF WORDS / LANGUAGE / TEXT – (TITLES?)
 

The only text that will be seen in my music video will be in the beginning with the title of the story and in the ending I will include "The End" to conclude the video and to pay homage to old movies. Ive not used any language or text as 5-6 year olds might not be able to read or they are just starting. 

​

• STYLES / CONVENTIONS/TECHNIQUES

​

Dance Routines

​

In this music video, I will include a simple dance routine inspired by the style often seen in children's music videos, where visuals and dance numbers are straightforward and easy to follow. Drawing inspiration from shows like Barney & Friends, which incorporate dances based on song lyrics or actions, and recalling a childhood song that featured a hand dance, I've decided to create a dance routine that involves only hands.

In the video, both puppets and a child character will engage in the dance, aiming to captivate my target audience, encouraging them to mimic the dance steps. The dance routine will be strategically placed during instrumental breaks in the song, particularly when the harmonica riffs play. This choice not only adds a catchy and enjoyable element to the video but also provides a designated time for the characters and viewers to dance without extending the routine for too long.

This approach is designed to enhance audience engagement, especially with younger viewers who may find joy in replicating the hand dance, reminiscent of childhood songs and shows.

​

Cross-medium theater:

​

​The music video will incorporate mixed media, combining puppetry and real-life elements. The use of puppets will serve to craft a fictional narrative that enhances the portrayal of the bond between a child and its teddy bear. Seamlessly transitioning between scenes featuring puppets and those with human actors will enable viewers to perceive a meaningful connection between both mediums. Utilizing puppetry holds the potential to resonate strongly with my target audience, fostering a metaphorical narrative between the two characters. A child's relationship with their teddy bear, often perceiving it as alive, can be effectively brought to life through puppetry, allowing for dynamic interactions between the child puppet and the animated teddy bear.
 

​

Interpreting the music :

 

The puppets and actors will dance to the beat of the song and move with the rhythm of the music. The sound of the song is a bit slow so I will make the dance and overall production of the video fit with the speed of the song. 

​

Cutting to beat :

​

Using this technique will enable smooth transitions between scenes, ensuring that the cuts align with the rhythm of the music. This technique enhances the overall video production, creating a cleaner and more seamless flow. Synchronizing of visual cuts with the music will make a dynamic and engaging music video for my target audience.

​

Effects:

​

I will use the special effects provided in the app cap cut. I am considering using a retro, grainy, vibrant filter in the puppet scenes to pay homage to the camera quality and style of the 60s and 70s. Enhancing the vibrancy in films was commonly used as a stylistic choice, and vibrant colors in films were especially prominent during this time. Before that era, films were primarily filmed in black and white, so the introduction of vibrant colors was enjoyable as many didn't see color in tv and it was fashionable to use vibrant colors. Puppets, being an old style of entertainment, give me a perfect chance to evoke the nostalgia of this period in the puppet scene. 

I will also adjust some settings when filming with the actual actor to fit the vibrant aesthetic, and to make the scene look more engaging and pretty. 

​

Camera movements: While filming the puppet scene there will be no camera movement as I want to just have the stage present with the puppets moving like in kids puppet shows. When filming the actor I will be tracking the actor and the teddy bear. I will also have the camera move from a long shot to a close-up to symbolise the connection the child has with the teddy bear and interpret the lyrics of "love" I will also be spinning around the actor to evoke a euphoric feeling of happiness when the child is with its teddy bear. There will also be scenes where the camera will be stationary like in the puppet scenes to seamlessly transition the puppets with the actor. 

​

Camera angles :

​

In the puppet scenes, the angles will remain stationary, as I need to keep the puppet stage consistently in frame from the front to maintain the illusion of a puppet show. When filming the real-life actors, I will incorporate over-the-shoulder shots while she is holding the bear up like in the scene in "The Lion King" and close-up shots to evoke the connection and love between the child and the teddy bear. This approach allows the audience to intimately witness the emotions on the actors' faces and creates a sense of a loving atmosphere. I will also use wide shots to emphasize that the two characters are all they need, strengthening their bond. The wide shot will illustrate the deep connection between the two characters. 

​

• MISE-EN-SCENE – INCLUDING OBJECT / COLOUR CONNOTATIONS

​

The music video will start with theater curtains opening revealing the stage. I will be using a green screen template video of curtains opening and ending the music video with the curtains closing to signify the end of the show/video as ive taken inspiration from theater and puppet shows. 

​

The puppet stage will have a hand-drawn background with clouds and trees. Around the stage, there will be trees and animals to make the stage more immersive and come to life. I will use a cardboard box to make the stage shape and paint and decorate it. I will add fabric and drape them on the corners to make it resemble a stage. Using vibrant and green colors for the stage will appeal to my young target audience according to my research.

​

I also will make puppets out of material resembling the large teddy bear and the actor in the real-life scenes. Keeping the puppets simple but clear that the actor is supposed to represent the puppet and likewise for the bear. 

 

• EDITING / POST-PRODUCTION

 

The music video will start with theater curtains opening revealing the stage. I will be using a green screen template video of curtains opening and ending the music video with the curtains closing to signify the end of the show/video as ive taken inspiration from theater and puppet shows. 

​

Syncing the music with the shots and cutting on beat. 

​

I will have to also add the 60/70's grainy retro filter for the puppet scene and adjust the lighting and vibrancy of the live action scene to make the full video follow a cohesive aesthetic when it comes to color and cinematography 

​

I will use transition templates to seamlessly transition from the puppet scene to the live action scene. Using a blurr effect or changing the opacity of the video to move from one scene to another. When transitioning for the first time I will have the actor and bear be in the same position as the puppets. Possibly filming in the auditorium could be a good way to transition the puppet stage to the real stage. 

​

CONSUMER PROFILE (TARGET AUDIENCE) WHO THE VIDEO APPEALS TO AND HOW…

​

My target audience is 5-9. I have a lot of research supporting that kids of this age will enjoy my video as it includes a narrative of a teddy bear and a child which the target could relate to since in this age most children have teddy bears and have deep connections with them. The use of puppetry is also an engaging visual that kids of this age would find entertaining and fun to look at. The simple hand dance is also an engaging way for the child to maybe try and learn the dance and dance along with the video. The editing and video will be simple as kids this age might not understand complicated concepts so it is important for the video to be straight forward. Using puppets that resemble the actor will be easy for the target to pick up on. 

 

DEMOGRAPHICS - AGE, GENDER, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS.  

​

5-9 

​

Male and female. Although the actor will be a girl the teddy bear would be standard which could resemble the teddy bear the target has,

making them feel more included in the video. Teddy bears are for both male and female. 

​

Not targeted towards any socioeconomic status 

​

PSYCHOGRAPHICS NICHE / MASS MARKET

​

The video caters to the niche of 5-9-year-olds, addressing their interests and engagement levels. The incorporation of puppetry taps into their imaginative and playful nature. The overall appeal is geared towards a mass market of children who share a common connection with their teddy bears.

​

HOW THE ELEMENTS (ABOVE) OF THE MUSIC VIDEO APPEAL TO THE TARGET AUDIENCE 

​

the music video's appeal to 5-9-year-olds is carefully crafted through a combination of interactive dance routines, imaginative storytelling using puppetry and real-life scenes, synchronization of movements with the music, rhythmic editing, visually stimulating effects, varied camera techniques, and a vibrant mise-en-scène. These elements collectively create an entertaining and age-appropriate experience that aligns with the developmental stage, preferences, and energy levels of the target audience. The simplicity, relatable themes, and incorporation of familiar objects, such as teddy bears, contribute to the overall charm and engagement, ensuring that the music video resonates positively with young viewers aged 5 to 9.

Male and female mask, leg hair tights, Can can dress costume, and suit costume

IMG_6546_edited.png

The first step when making the mask was to grab 2 mannequin heads in order to mold the shape of the heads. I used the drawing I made as a reference to make sure I have similar proportions, features, and shapes. I used tin foil and tape to secure the layers of tin foil. I kept intertwining the faces to fix any areas and make sure they were intertwinable. I also made sure that the faces would somewhat resemble a heart. I compressed any rough areas by batting the masks with a paintbrush. I also pushed in some areas to later add facial features. I was very meticulous when making the female and male faces. I made sure the woman's face was smaller and more feminine while the male face is more triangular and musclely 

After getting the faces shapes I created a paper mache paste by blending papermache glue, and moist papers I went in with a rough first layer so that the next thicker and more detailed layers would stick better to the mask. By the third layer I started to add the details like the eyes, lips, brows, eye bags, etc... In the fourth layer I fixed the textures and added bumps and "wrinkles" I made sure i wasnt adding too much texture to the skin but also wanted the skin to look wrinkly and odd. 

My last step was to paint the masks. Innitially I got the wrong skin color due to me working in a dark room with yellow lights which made me unaware of the actual color of the skin. I researched how to mix skin color to ensure I have an accurate skin tone. I made the skin pale and grey because grey skin is used to connote sadness. 

For the female character I painted her lips red and added blush and contour to make her look like she is wearing makeup to further distinctify the two masks and to add a bit of realism into the masks. Because the theme is insecurities and she has an odd face her "wearing makeup" Is a way to make herself feel more confident and pretty. I painted blond eye brows and green eyes because I used Iris caldwell as a reference and she had blond hair and green eyes. I did the same for paul Mccartny by painting his eyes and brows brown.

IMG_6994_edited.png

Making these masks gave me an oportunity to bring out my signature style with the eye bags and big eyes.

In the final touches, I added blue eye drops on the female character which gives her a really nice pop of color and makes the mask more dramatic. I also added eye lashes to further feminise the mask. 

Finally I made an insision in the back of the masks and stretched them out and pushed the foil down so that I could fit a head in. 

IMG_2969_edited.png
IMG_2970_edited.png

I innitially bought a dress from a thrift store and picked out this blue dress because it already came with the ruffles just like the can-can dresses. The only problem was the color so I decided to bleach it. After bleaching the dress completely fell apart and deteriorated, I didn't realize that this material couldn't withstand bleach. 

IMG_6633_edited.png

I used the material from the disintegrated dress to add more volume to the dress. 

I sewed the blue tulle from the disintegrated dress on the flower dress in a way that would bring more volume to one side of the dress to create an uneven puff silhouette. 

I spray painted the dress to stiffen the dress to create a structured base because i plan to cover it with another dress on top. Sculpting the bottom layer to give it more shape and this uneven distorted look.

I did 5 layers of spray paint to ensure it would solidify but it dindt get as solid as i wanted so i added one thin layer of varnish which helped it keep its shape. 

The ladybug pattern was done just for fun but it gives the dress a bit of a beatles refference. 

Drew over the drape and planned out how i wanted the dress to look like. 

I wanted to create distorted pedestrian look but add the can can frills detail at the bottom so my research can be seen int he costume

I then seweed the red can can frill at the seam of the stiff dress. Looking back I should of sewed everything before making the dress stiff because it would have saved me a lot of time and effort. 

I wanted to make leg hair stockings because leg hair is a big insecurity of women making them shave it but with these stockings, it would embrace and dramatize the leg hair but look good. 

Can Can dancers are also known for wearing stockings.

I wrapped tape around my leg and cut it off my leg to create the pattern for my stockings. I cut the fabric using the pattern. 

I pinned the fabric on my leg to make sure it would fit and slid it off my leg.

I sewed them 2 sides together.

I used a large paper and made a cone to keep the stockings stable and ready to spray adhesive to glue the hair. I spread the hair and added thicker areas to make the hair pattern look somewhat pretty. 

I cut a dolls hair to use for my stockings 

Taking inspiration from womens insecurities such as wrinkles and fat rolls, based on my research.

Using the shape of the rolls and how the skin is draping on the model to recreate onto the top. 

Making sure that the folds are defined and sticking out. 

I drapped and experimented how i wanted the top to fold using pins. I then glued where i pinned because the pins kept slipping out when trying to sew. After hot glueing i sewed the areas and was done with the top. 

I went to the thrift store and found this long pleated poncho dress and cut it to a shorter length. I was specifically looking for a polka dot top because it was a popular pattern in the 60's and I wanted my costume to have 60's references.

Puppet and puppet stage

IMG_6796_edited.png

My first step when making my puppets was to cut out the pattern. I got a free pattern from the site https://puppetnerd.com/

I pinned it to my fabric and cut the fabric. The pattern for the body was too small for my hand so I had to adjust the size of the pattern but it didn't impact the puppet too much. I followed a tutorial and sewed all the pieces together. I added plates to the mouth so they would be more defined and easier to move. I stuffed the arms and glued the eyes to avoid a messy seam on the eyes. 

The final step was to add the details, such as the hair and clothing.

I glued on the clothes using the same material as the entire body and used yarn for the hair. I tried to make my puppet's hair a similar length to that of my actor to make them look alike. I used bright colors for the puppet's clothes to contrast with the green and make the scene more fun. I made a pleated skirt for the puppet because it's something kids of the age 5-9 like to wear.

Making the bear puppet was a lot easier than making the human puppet. I used a very simple pattern from the site https://puppetnerd.com/. I cut out the pattern, ears, nose, mouth, and body. I bought a pillow from Daiso since it had a similar fluff to the teddy bear I featured in the live-action scenes. I sewed the pattern pieces together and added plastic mouth plates to create the base. I then sewed the ears and cut the nose, but it blended too much into the fabric. So, I decided to burn the surface to create a darker and rougher fur to resemble the real bear's nose. I glued the buttons and nose and was done with the puppet. I made some changes to the real bear and glued buttons to the bear's eyes to make them resemble each other even more. Overall, I think the bear puppet is really cute. Although the mouth moves a little weirdly, it gives the bear a goofy and cute personality.

I was inspired by a classic theater with big red draped curtains. 

Finally I cut out the bottom of the stage where the puppets would come from. Innitially I made the hole too small and didn't have a lot of space to move so i mad it bigger to have more freedom to move. 

When creating the stage, I used a big Amazon cardboard box as the base. I cut out the opening of the stage. Watching children's music videos, I realized that the backgrounds are usually very simple and include nature, trees, and clouds. Initially, I was thinking of doing a fantasy-themed background, but I decided to keep it simple and vibrant for the puppet show. I chose to make the stage look hand-painted because it gave a kid-like element to the stage and felt playful. It could be something the kids could try to recreate or paint.

I used light blue acrylic paint for the background and painted the floor a green color, adding different tones of green to make it look more like grass. I painted green at the bottom of the walls to make it more environmental and decorated the stage with trees and apples for a pop of color. I then glued fabric on the stage and folded pieces of fabric to create a pleated curtain look like theater curtains.

Production day:

​

Showed actors the costumes and made some small changes, as some things looked better together than others. 

I set up the lights, tripod and green screen an hour before shooting so actors wouldn't have to wait. 

Followed my storyboard and notes of the extra shots i need. 

Took 2 hours to film. 

DATE:

April/8/2023

Making the mask:

​

Took 2 maniquin heads for the base of the mask. 

Used tin foil to create the shape of the masks,

making sure the masks align to create a heart like shape, and added different facial features to create a masculine and feminine character.

Wrapped in tape to secure the foil

and started on my first layer of paper mache.

DATE:

May/9/2023

Mask:

​

Created paper mache paste by blending soaked paper and andheisive. 

Started to created a base layer of paper mache for the male face.

While letting it dry i worked on the female face.

Working on starting details for the male face  

DATE:

May/10/2023

Fixed male face after it dried the next day, and worked on the female face again, building up the layers and textures. 

I added 2 teardrops to the female character because I wanted to include more color and more emphasis on the sad and lonely expressions on the face. 

Let both dry 

DATE:

May/11/2023 

Mask:
Sanded the faces, and got them ready for paint

Added one top coat of white paint for a clean base, making sure i covered everything.

DATE:

May/12/2023

I painted the faces in a greyish light skin tone but i had to change the paint color as i was working in the dark with a warm light and didnt read the color correctly as it turned out to be grey pink  in natural light.

I mixed the paint to an accurate color and made different shades.

Painted both masks in their skin tone, and waited for them to dry 

Started to roughly paint the eyelids, lips, and cheeks as i would go over the rough areas with the skin toned paint.

DATE:

May/13/2023

The nexy day I got back on painting the details and used makeup techniques to make the face look more detailed and "realistic".

I highlighted their eyes, added pink blush to the female masks cheeks and, contour to contour certain areas to make them more defined. 

As i waited to dry I went to the thrift store to buy a dress  for the female character and a suit for the male character. 

The dress was perfect for this project because it already looked similar to a can can dress as it had a lot of ruffles and layers. 

I finished painting the details on the masks 

I spent the night unbeading the dress as it had a lot of stones and i didn't want them. 

DATE:

May/15/2023

I bought some bleach to make the thrifted dress white, but after an hour of bleaching i didn't see any change in the color and realised the dress was starting to disinegrate.  
I researched and made the discovery that silk will break apart when bleached and will not bleach. 
I went to another thrift store and picket out pieces that had ruffles, tulle, and an 60-70's pattern. When looking through the store i also found a hat which i thought i could use to make antennas for the butterfly video. 
I started to add wire and glue the hat to make my antenna hat, I covered the glued areas in fabric paint for a smooth and seamless finish.

 

DATE:

May/16/2023

I bleached my new thrifted peices today for the womens look, but once again not everything bleached. I should of checked the material label of the pieces i picked out to see if they would bleach. 
I did some research online and was told that to bleach synthetic fabrics you need to boil them. 
I boiled for 4 hours and saw that one out of 3 pieces did bleach. The rest had a faded color but wasn't white. 
I washed and dried them for the next day were i would plan out how i would make it. 

DATE:

May/17/2023

I looked for a big cardboard box to make the puppet stage. 

I sketched out the shape of the stage opening and cut it out.

Painted the inside of the stage. I painted the bottom green for grass and the walls a light blue with clouds.  

​

Went to diaso to buy false lashes for the female mask, some pompoms for the butterfly hat, felt for the human puppet, a pillow for the bear puppet, and pearls for the female look. 

​

Started to drape the dress and figure out what the sillouhette was going to be like. 

I made many drapes as i didn't like my other ideas.

Took a picture of a drape that i liked and started to visualise it in a fashion drawing. 

Made minor adjustments and detailed photos so i can redrape the dress in school in order to start making the female costume. 

DATE:

May/18/2023

DATE:

May/20/2023

I added the curtains to the puppet stage using hot glue and a red fabric. 

​

Drapped and pined the dress

Made my actor (amy) try on the dress before making changes that could unable the actor to fit in the dress to make sure it does.

Added multiple coats of spray paint to the first layer of my dress to make the dress structural and semi solid. 

Waited for it to dry and added a final coat of acrylic varnish to solidify the base of the costume even more. 

​

​

​

​

Made my model try on the dress after drying.

​

Followed a tutorial for a bear puppet. 

Cut out my pillow as it had a similar color and texture to the teddy bear. 

​

Cut the pattern, Pinned pieces together, and sewed.

Added small details to the puppet such as buttoned eyes, ears, and a nose. 

​

Was editing the butterfly video, making adjustments to the animation and focusing on the title and adding effects 

I was given the feedback from Ms. Goulet to not use internet images for the background of my green screen. Especially the kholidescope

I looked through my camera roll to see if I could find images or videos of flowers. I replaced the background and adjusted the animation again to align with the movements and scale of the butterflies. 

​

I added buttons to my real teddy bear to make them look similar so my audience can connect the two characters in puppet form and real form. 

DATE:

May/22/2023

Started to sew the top. 

I had a polka dot dress but i wanted to create a top that would represent some of women insecurities. 

Since it was the top i drapped and pinned the dress to fold on itself and creating these saggy drapped ridges to represent belly rolls.

It took me some time to sew and there were areas that i couldn't sew on so i had to use hot glue, I used it to my advantage as it allowed me to extend the fabric to create a more belly roll look. 

I also cut the front and the back to make a shorter top. 

 

I also set up and filmed a test shot of the puppets to figure out how i need to angle the puppets, how to light the set, and to get everything ready for Friday as I planned to film on that day.

The reason it was only a test shot is because the human puppet didn't have any clothes. 

​

After school I glued strands of thread on the head and glued on the top and dress on the puppet to give it some clothes. 

​

I also worked on the hairy tights for the mask costume. 

I cut a dolls hair

I created a pattern for the tights using tape. 

I cut the tape off my legs and laid out the pattern flat to cut it with fabric. I then pinned the mesh fabric and sewed. 

The tights turned out to be too small and the fabric didn't stretch so i had to make the end wider in order for the feet to fit. 

I took some spray adhesive and glued the hairs on the inside of the tights and spread them out and tried to create a pattern and thickness consistency with the hair. 

​

I repeated this step twice. 

​

At home I dropped and pinned the suit to create this A symmentriacal look. 

I manipulated parts of the body using gathering technique on the sleeves and pants to create a wrinkly texture and look to the suit. I also changed the shape in the back and the sides to have some parts sticking out. 

I used myself as the model to make sure it fits.

I took close up photos so i could repin at school 

​

​

​

DATE:

May/23/2023

I made Alfie (male actor) try on the suit and it didn't fit but I unpinned certain areas that could have impacted the fitting and repinned them in order to fit Alfie. 

​

I sewed the pins to keep the shape and made my actor try it on again to double check it fits. 

​

I painted the eyes on the masks and removed them from the maniquin heads and stretched them out so they would be wearable. 

​

I forgot to ask for permission to leave school with my actors to film so ii improvised and used a similar-looking location in school. I made the actors put on the costumes and went to the location to film 

The floor was uneven and there were many rocks. 

My actors couldn't see inside the masks and were starting to get really hot in the masks. 

I let them take breaks in between filming.

​

I also encountered another issue with the actors. It was really difficult for them to walk in a straight line or understand the direction I was giving them because they couldn't see. 

Due to the time limit, I didn't have to film as much as I wanted too.

I will consider adding eye holes for the actors and making sure to book them out of school to use my intended location. I will also plan to film earlier in the morning as it's not as hot and reduces the risk of overheating. 

​

After school, I filmed my puppet video as everything was set up and ready.

I filmed 4 cuts just in case one of the cuts doesn't look as good as the other. 

I played the song while puppeteering to make the puppets lipsyinc the song and so i could make the puppets dance on beat. 

I improvised some parts and in every cut I would do something different or watch. my video back and think of what i could do to improve or need to change. 

​

​

DATE:

May/24/2023

I edited my puppet video and used test shots of the real actor in areas i will want the actor to be in. 

Since I didn't have the final shots of the girl with the teddy bear I filled in those parts with test shots so when i record the real video i can quickly replace the test shot with the actual footage. 

​

I researched how to make a kolidescope effect on after effects and it took a long time to accomplish due to me not being very skilled with after effects. I watched a tutorial and made it.

I asked my friends if they can send me photos and videos of flowers to see if i could use some for my green screen backrrops. One of my friends lives in Amsterdam and its known for being very green and full of flowers and asked my friend to film them. 

I also went out and saw some flowers and recorded them. (they weren't very pretty and were in dirt and not grass so i had to fix the angle to make them look natural and not planted. 

I replaced the old backgrounds with the new ones and once again adjusted the animation.

​

DATE:

May/25/2023

Edited the mask music video, followed my storyboard and cut on beat. 

Kept the video editing simple 

changed the filter of the video 

Had to reuse some shots in other scenes due to not filming enough. 

​

Will have to reshoot the mask scene.

Planning for the next shoot for the butterfly music video, 

Gathered the new costumes. I picked out different colors to further match the butterfly aesthetic and keep the colors blue and pink. 

Asked Katie to bring some of the clothes I used in the first cut on Tuesday

DATE:

March/2/2023

Katie forgot to bring costumes so I used this day to prepare the green screen because I plan to film on the 4th with Amy and Alfie. 

I also took this time to plan out a better room to film because last time it was too public so I decided to book out the radio room. 

DATE:

March/3/2023

I asked Alfie and Amy if they could give me a day and time when we could also film the mask music video but they weren't too sure. They told me they would tell me tomorrow. Alfie is more free than Amy. 

DATE:

March/4/2023

Alfie and Amy had to reschedule to film on the 6th. 

I also double checked when they would be free to film the mask video, but amy was hesitant and decided to back out filming the mask video because she felt claustrophobic in the mask and commented it was challenging for her when filming the first cut. 

DATE:

March/6/2023

I filmed the butterfly music video. I was able to have more time to film because I repaired the room and set up. I got all the shots I needed for my butterfly music video. 

In the beginning the mood of my actors was a little bit off and made the scenes look depressing so I let them take a break and let them loosen up and directed them to look happier and make more childlike expressive movements. Overall productive and successful shooting day.

DATE:

March/8/2023

I added all the new shots of the butterfly music video and removed the background on capcut  

 

DATE:

March/9/2023

I took Alfies feeback to add eye holes and nose holes to breathe and see in the masks as well as add padding. I glued padding where the face sits on the mask and tried to add eye/nose holes on the masks but they didn't fully work to make the actors able to see. The holes were too small and I didn't want to make them too big otherwise it would ruin the masks. 

 

DATE:

March/10/2023

I asked Alfie if he could film but he was very hesitant and unsure. I told him that I would need to film indoors and just take 30 min of his time. He said he would be free on the 12th.

I asked my friend YAYA if I could use her to film the indoor scene with Alfie on the 12th, and she confirmed with me. Since I made my actors wear masks It didn't matter too much to have the same actors in every scene. 

 

DATE:

March/12/2023

Before filming I took my props to film the restaurant date scene and made sure the green screen room would be free. I decorated the set and waited for Alfie but he was unable to film that day so I reschedueled for the 13th and asked sternly for alfie to confirm 100% that he is free. 

DATE:

March/13/2023

I filmed the restaurant scene with Yaya and Alfie, It took about 30 minutes to film everything I needed but I came up with some problems with the green screen. The Media room with the big green screen was in use so i had to use the green screen in the radio room which means that the green screen footage will only work from the wait up because i didn't set up a green floor. The cut out tool does not work for this scene because it cuts out only the human figures and not the furniture. 

DATE:

March/14/2023

I asked Alfie if I could film with him outside of school either after school or during school but he canceled many times making him unreliable to act outside of school. Making me have to be the male character taking alfies place. 

​

I did find an actress to replace Amy (Viktoria) and was able to find a date we could both film outside of school. So we planned to film on the 15th. I asked Ms. Howard if she could spare 1 h of her time after school to help me record the mask scene because I will be acting as the male character. 

 

I did some editing for the butterfly music video and started to cut the videos together and planned to add the animations later 
 

DATE:

March/15/2023

In the morning I double checked with everyone and packed the bags with the masks and props. I made sure the costume and mask fit on the new actress and set to meet after school at the entrance. I brought some bottles of water to make sure we weren't dehydrated. I did also asked my crew to drink water discreetly because it is Ramadan. When walking to my location I passed by a better location so I decided to film there instead of what I planned. It took 1 and a half hours to film myself and the scenes of the characters together. I made sure to film those scenes with Ms. Howard first because I didn't want to waste her time. After filming I filmed Viktoria and it took about an hour. I was happy with the footage I took and decided to call it a day and thanked everyone.  

 

DATE:

March/17/2023

I edited the new footage of the masks very roughly, using the storyboard and draft as a reference, and added the green screen video and the new footage. I was not too happy with the green screen footage because I wanted a variety of scenes and angles in the restaurant scene so I asked Viktoria if we could film one more time. She said she would be free on the 20th

 

DATE:

March/17/2023

Edited the butterfly music video animation and changed some things on the puppet music video. I tried to sync the music video as much as possible but it's still not perfect but maybe good enough. I tried to slow down the video or speed up to better match. I will make more tweaks to that video soon. 

 

DATE:

March/18/2023

Did some more edditing for the butterfly video and the mask video, I put together the mask video up until the restaurant scene. Synced the camera movements to the song and made the scenes cut on beat. For the butterfly video I did more animation and edited the dancing scene as well as the spiral scene. 

 

DATE:

March/19/2023

I set up the restaurant scene with the props in the media green screen room and placed the green screen fabric on the floor so I could easily film on Friday during lunch and tutor. 

 

DATE:

March/19/2023

Filmed the restaurant scene with viktoria, I asked Mr.Fishleigh to help me film. I got all the shots I needded and plan to use the shots to fill into the music video.
