AICE Media Studies Blog

 Hello, I am Nurdlie Luberice! My hobbies are mainly dancing, drawing, watching documentaries or and I recently started playing the flute. I watch shows like The Good Doctor, Hospital Playlist, MINE, and The handmaid's tale, and my favorite movie or superhero venom. My most watch genre of movies is mainly historical romance such as pride and prejudice and Bridgerton. My favorite genre of music is indie, k-pop, hip hop, and electronic music. I enjoy watching crime and research documentaries the most. I joined the band at the beginning of this school year, 2021-22. I am a intermediate in flute! I am playing flute through the marching band. This is fun and gives me the social experience I need.  I joined Media Studies because I wanted to take my own self-portraits but it was personally difficult to learn about photography online: the cost and the pace. I wanted to make my own self-portrait as a hobby to get comfortable with cameras. Recently I have been planing with my friend to ...

  As always i made a fun out of everything. This project was productive. And bought a side of me that i did not know. I am an anxious person but while filming this project. I felt comfortable and confident. While at the mall acting in front of many strangers. We tried different angles and transitions such as a pan and zoom. Inside of the changing rooms. They were success! Overall this project was alright! 

 Because last time i finishes almost all of the editing there was less to do. Today i tried to sync the video more to the music. I wanted the kick of the bucket to sync with the beat drop at the start of the lyrics. Making the lyrics match up to the action of acting like a rich girl. After all of the adjustments and trying to pause different parts to fit it. It was not successful. After many tries, i realized that it did not affect the music video that much. However i do believe it would've been satisfying to see and hear the start of the lyrics matching. Though the music video does look good. I am proud of myself and Naturelle for filming the video on time and early sowe did not stress at the last minute. I was nervous about the scheduling at the beginning. But after talking we set out available dates even though both of us were busy half of the times. I am happy everything workout in the end. I hope others enjoy the video too. 

 Today i edited the video that we filmed. I tried different transitions and different angles. That we could not film the day we filmed together. But in the end it worked out well. Because the scene at the beginning of the song did not take all of the time till the 'if i was a rich girl' part i had to add the tittle and our names to hit at the right beat. I wanted the scene where i started to shop to be the part where the lyrics started. But their weren't a lot of success with that. The scene where i was cleaning the floor was playing in the background of the video. I had to replay it when the song part started. This was for the beginning of the song to have an intro while giving time for the music to pass. The editing for tody was not as much as i expected but i still enjoyed it!

 Today Naturelles mom picked us up to head to the library inside the mall to film the rest of the video. We visited a store to buy the bucket and towel used as prop. Upon arriving, we tried to find a bathroom. We ended up finding a bathroom at the very back. I pretended to wipe the floor to portray the poor cinderella trope. As we were trying to film parents with children kept coming in. They were screaming and crying so we kept having to stop and wait. At one point there was a dog that kept making eye contact under the stall space. After they left we continued to film. We filmed different scenes such as kicking the bucket and the last scene of the poor girl realizing the water is flowing to her getting her hands wet. We take scenes everytime we were not happy with it. After i asked her sister to film us walking by the store. To signify that they are friends in her daydream. After going shopping and having fun as friends instead of enemies in real life. After she puts her hand in t...

 For filming today, i arranged for us to meet at the mall. It was a great location considering the fact that we were doing rich girl. The mall consist of different shops that could show lavish and wealth. Having the opportunity to shop at a mall is a privilege for most; showing this location would mean we are living well off life since we were doing theme of cinderella. At first the date was wednesday during thanksgiving break but because our parents needing to work, we had to push towards saturday. And we both were busy on other days so saturday was the best option. On saturday of thanksgiving break my dad dropped me off at the mall. I waited for Naturelle then we went into the mall to film. When she arrived we head inside the mall together. We strolled looking at different places to film. We decided vitoria secret since we both bought different bags to the store that was of the brand. At first, it felt awkward but because it was early in the morning not a lot of people were there...
