heya blog good evening :] This very blog post is going to be my last hurrah for this week and then it's on to week 4! Wahoo!! It's getting a little late into the night so who you're hearing right now is chill, kinda getting drowzy emi :D Unhingedness levels are going down 10% tonight 😁😁
okie dokes time to get down into some business >:D

da goat and da goat goat
(From right to left: Charlotte from last years portfolio proj, Otto from this year :])
(they would definitely NOT get along with each other BAHAHHAHA)
OMG 11:11 MAKE A WISH
yay :D
Today we are talking a bit about the first very rough draft of the super awesome script written by the one and only Joaquin! He has been working on this most of week 3 while juggling with a project from another class and successfully got it done before week 4 just recently :] Huge props! I got super duper excited once he sent it to the gc
live footage
(I AUDIBLY LAUGHED AT "AWESOME.PDF" THAT WAS GENUINELY SO FUNNY)
Right after it got sent, I got right to reading it and actually had lots of fun BAHAHHA Joaquin is a very funny fella and some scenes really had me cackling so I just know the final film portion will be literally the world's most HILLARIOUSLY absurd short film of ALL TIME.
Obviously, this is only a rough draft and before we continue on we plan on locking in either on call or during media to really pin down a couple missing plot points, clean things up, and end up with something perfect and beautiful that we all like :] I am actually so excited for the end of the arduous planning stage, because just seeing this film idea beginning to come to life is actually so amazing and something that I'm so excited to see all the way through :D Otto has already been drawn twice, her costume design is in the works (foreshadowingg!!), the rough script and story has risen and is ready to be sculpted into perfection, and just AHHH I'M REALLY DOING THIS GUYS !! !!! WE'RE REALLY DOING THIS!
Anyway without further ado, ladies and gents, dogs, cats, and anything and anyone else on this great green planet, I present to you the very first draft of the script :]
That'll be all for tonight folks :] Some nice chill last couple of blog posts before we actually have to lock in and begin making really cool things come to life 😁I am feeling so relaxed right now and pretty optimistic about the week ahead :D
literally comfort and coziness maxxing right now
My current setting is SO awesome bro hear this out:
emi is currently
-in her purple LED lit game room
-laying on the couch with plushies and pillows and blankets all over
-listening to calm (human made) lofi on her tv
-writing a supa awesome blog post
-she also has junior privilege tomorrow
-LETS GOOOOO
maybe getting absolutely fnaf 4 jumpscared by the biggest cockroach i've ever (freaking) seen was a blessing in disguise because I'm actually really loving this temporary change of setting :]]
BAHAHHAHA i've spent my mornings and afternoons in my actual room and my last two nights here in the game room instead since I know cockroaches are nocturnal animals and the hell spawn i saw on friday night could absolutely re appear again even though it's probable that it escaped through a drain/vent or died cause of cold AC. I'm really hoping any of those things happened already! Either way, I'll really start getting back into my room again after it gets deep cleaned by my super amazing maid this tuesday :] Insane props to her for doing what she does!
Anyway I must catch some zzzz's now so I'm able to function and write some more blog posts for ya'll this coming week! This has been week 3! Emi out!
Boa noite, te quiero mucho blog sayonara :D❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
(WE ARE SO BACK FIRST OTTO DRAWING OF THE PROJECT YAYAYAY)
BRAAANDDINGGG BABYYYYYY: EMI MAKES DA MOVIE POP
Wayyyyy back in the early days of August, Tstok assigned us one of the most amazing projects known to mankind. We were tasked to take ourselves and make a whole brand out of it to market and advertise to the lovely masses. This may be the hottest take of all time, but this was by FAR my favorite project I've done as of present day (excluding the Cambridge portfolio cause that's even more amazing) within the A level class. I genuinely had a whole ton of fun, got to know myself better, and even discovered some parts of myself I didn't even know existed.
The Brand Identity Project was a very significant project to me and knowing that I'm able to apply it again to this project, specifically for our social media, is so insanely awesome >:DD For the greatest project known to man kind that we did in August, one of the things we had to do along with a short video component,was to makea presentation with hella slides showcasing our brand. One of the most important slides in said presentation was the brand identity prism! This is basically the very thing that you can use to fully envision and develop a brand all the way down from target audience to reflection. I'm sure if I utilize this tool within the next like 30 minutes to an hour to develop a cohesive brand for my social media page, I will end up with something supa awesome, just like how I did with the Brand Identity Project :D
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO!! IN 3 2 1 OKAY LETS GO LETS GO LETS GOOOOO UR NOT READY LETS GOOOOOOOO
Physique:Crimson reds, blacks, dark oranges, some yellows, and bold hand drawn looking font.
Personality: Really really kooky/weird while very ominous at the same time. Humor is brought out of discomfort and use of taboo subjects. SUPER unapologetic with absurdity and said kookiness/weirdness!
Relationship: Heavy on one to one interactions with fans, devoted to authenticity and freaking out/ making audiences laugh with pure weirdness.
Culture:Being weird is super duper cool and badass! Understanding and very accepting of "unconventional individuals" and unconventional taboo topics. Otto lost herself while looking for power through satanism. This, what could be interpreted as an evil, controversial action, is shown in our film through humor and critiqued thoroughly as it heavily affects Otto's character in quite a negative way and leaves her with nothing at the end 😁😁😁😁
Reflection: Young target audience ages from like 15-20, young artists, alternative folks, Queer folks, absurd humor enjoyers :D
Self Image: This brand would definitely picture its most ideal self as chaotic, absurd, and absolutely bat shit insane in all the best ways possible while also being mindful and passionate about what it's critiquing/commenting on.
That'd be all for today's post super awesome blog readers! Much more to come with the social media and artsy aspects of our short film :D! This post right here is an amazing start to every stylistic choice I intend to make come to life whether that be in the visuals of our piece, social media page, and postcard! I am super duper excited to begin to get that creative Picasso-y ball rollin 😋😋😋
Okie dokes leitores de blog super incriveis! I must get going and enjoy the rest of my lovely day :]
i profusely apologize for letting my (f ) (u) (k) (s) fly
they will no longer fly, they will be sat
alrighty lets fucking do this :D
LETS GOOOOOOO EVERYBODYYYYY LETS GOOOO IT'S FRI(YAY) IT'S ALMOST THE END OF QUARTER 3 AND IT'S SPRING TIME LETS GOOOOOOO i also have concert band MPA today which should be super duper fun I can't wait to like be like all like "doot doot" on my big long yellow instrument for like 3 hours :D
Before I am able to go off on my band endeavors though, I had to attend my classes! Cause I'm only a second semester junior! NOT a senior! I can't skip whole days! My goodness sometimes only sometimes do I wish I was a senior! That's next year's business though! Then I can skip whole days! Should be a piece of cake by then! HELP ME
Today in my lovely 6th period, AICE Media Studies A level, we were tasked by Tstok to group up in assigned tables and interact with each other for about 45 minutes! And now I'm supposed to interact with YOU guys all about it and what went down with each one of our presentations! LETS GOOO WAHOO WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EMI TALKS TO OTHER HUMANS ABOUT SILLY DEMON MOVIE: A SUPER EPIC SAGA OF SUPER EPICNESS
For this lovely meeting, I was grouped up with peers, Dani, Adriana, Aneesa, Vicky, Mariana, and Fabiana :D
BAHAHHAHA SO MANY 'ANA'S that was genuinely the funniest move tstok could have ever pulled.
ALRIGHTY DIVE IN TIME!
1. Emi (emi) (e-mi) (thats me :D)
Genre: Dark Comedy
Blog link: hmmm idk
Because of my super awesome blog and its insane absurdity, I got my 15 minutes of fame throughout the beginning of this group meeting after Tstok pointed it out :D it was actually pretty awesome seeing my classmates looking at my blog and being all like "LMAOOO????" I am genuinely so proud of this blog and how much pure personality I put into it all day everyday so that was just the greatest honor seeing others enjoying it :]]
After my spotlight, my group was like "u wanna go first :D" and I was like "yeah bet :DD" So then I presented everything that we had going on in our super awesome project! Here's what's up!
I began my presentation by telling my group all about the plot I had going on. I explained to them that my film was going to be all about this girl named Otto looking for power and going to this guy Annie Christopher who's totally not the devil himself disguised :D The entirety of the film is Otto fulfilling each one of Annie's tasks for her promised power such as handing out flyers, sticking them around every where, making trashy altars, etc. By the end of the film, however, Otto gets more unhinged and begins losing herself to the deal and to the devil, even going as far as sacrificing her sister and never actually receiving the power she was promised, because she literally lost her soul.
This entire struggle for religious power was ultimately worthless for Otto because of that loss and that's basically the message that Joaquin, Andrew, and I are looking to convey. The film will be a critique on power struggles especially in terms of religion since it has been used as an excuse to exert power over others for years in human history, therefore making it a very real issue that deserves some recognition and critique within the media and, in this case, from 3 really weird unconventional teenagers :D
After spitting my bars on the plot, I began to spit my bars on my concerns and got some pretty good suggestions from my fellow peers :] I first expressed my worries about our locations and where we could possibly film, especially for the end of our production. My group suggested that for the ending, we head over to Markham Park because it has that really cool foresty, non Weston looking mystique and vibe going on that could really support our film and its tone at the climax. Adriana also added on that there's a bridge in Markham chuck filled with graffiti that could also work wonders! I am for sure taking these suggestions into consideration because for this whole time we've been planning, I've always been imagining the climax taking place in a forest of some sorts, or anywhere outside that isn't too bright, so it's perfect if everyone in my group ends up agreeing on it :]
Another concern that I expressed to my group had to do with some of the violence that we plan on implementing into our short film. The last time Joaquin, Andrew and I talked about plot, we discussed the possibility of having 3 deaths put into the film but my group suggested that we instead just have one death because having 3 might be a little too much for a 5 minute narrative piece. This I totally understand and highkey agree with. The next time my project group have a discussion about our plot which will be very soon most likely over call, I'll suggest toning down the violence a tad since not only does it have the possibility of being hard to pull off, we also should spend our time more on developing Otto's character through other means annddd also having 1 significant death at the end will really make Otto's loss of humanity stand out and be a good ending point for our piece :] We'll see where things go from here but I'm really going to take the suggestions from my group into good consideration.
Group people if you're seeing this, thank you :D! I really appreciated everything you guys had to say about our crazy ass short film that's going to be incomprehensible to the average human brain :DDD
Up next was Adriana who presented to us her general idea that she has so far for her short film! She's making a comedy with David about this guy who uses a penny to teleport places to do good things but every time he does, something backfires and it's shown in a super duper funny way and stuff :D David is going to be starring as the main character while Adriana will handle some camera work and most of the editing. She expressed a couple concerns on said editing and how she will make precise cuts to really make the teleportation effect pop and come to live in a way that makes sense. As a solution to this, she told us that she's gonna watch a couple of tutorials online to get some good practice in so she's able to edit her film successfully which I 100000% respect >:D Editings hard and it's even harder when you're making a short about teleportation, something that requires some pretty good post prod!
Apart from that, Adriana also has some concerns with the scheduling since David has been very busy with Mamma Mia and other theater endeavors and will be out of town for spring break, creating more difficulty and less time for them to film.With this in mind, I checked out David's blog out of curiosity, and found that he's thinking of filming some scenes in the places he'll be at during spring break which is a pretty snazzy idea :D Getting some good shots from London and Madrid sounds AWESOME.
The group and I really liked the idea that Adriana and her partner had going on so far and suggested that she could maybe end the film with the main character completing a kind act but when he tries to teleport again he drops the penny down a drain or a sewer which could be quite a silly ending and end the film from where it started, as this is a comedy and it doesn't have to be too serious :D I am very much looking forward to checking out this short film once it's done, I've been intrigued the most by this one's concept. Like, teleporting with a PENNY? Goofy haha funny genre?? Possibly shooting in EUROPE??? I'M SAT!!
Aneesa went up next right after Adriana and started telling us about what she had so far :D She's going to be working with Zach, Quinn, and Nico on a dark comedy short film all about a camera focusing on one person but then it "falls in love" or becomes more focused on another person. Her piece will be HEAVY on breaking the fourth wall and will be super aware of itself which I think is a really cool concept that can be pulled off if planned out well.
At first, Aneesa's group wanted to make a film revolving around supernatural beings and such but that got scrapped while she was away in Arizona and this plot became the new idea, hence why she felt a little bit unsure of the idea and how exactly they will execute it. She's planning on meeting up with her group this coming weekend to write out a script and develop a fleshed out story to make things a little easier to figure out and see if their idea will be able to work :D The group gave her a couple useful suggestions in terms of her plot and made it easier to imagine in my opinion. Having a spotlight follow around any character that the camera is focusing on, having the mic of the main character turn off when the camera goes to another subject, making the characters actors and the film take place in a studio during a casting call, and giving context to said studio setting are great aspects that Aneesa can implement into her film to flesh some things out and be able to make it understandable for the viewers :DDD
Out of everybody in the group, this film idea was definitely the one that intrigued me the most! I'll be one of their very first viewers on the inevitable day of April 10th >:D As scared as I am for that date, I am also insanely excited to see everybody's projects along with my own >:DD BOOYAHHHH
Next after Aneesa was Vicky who presented her coming of age film that she's working on with Renn and Kenna :D She expressed to us that they all wanted to create something that they could resonate and connect with as they themselves are teenagers going through a time in life where everything is constantly changing, especially since they are going to be adults soon and are expected to get ready for such a thing. Hey look at that! I'm on the exact same boat and so is literally everybody in my life who isn't legally an adult right now! Holy smokes this film is going to hit if done well!!
The general message that Vicky and her team are going to communicate through their piece is "Even through fears and stress, you keep growing" which is definitely a theme that is great to work around for a coming of age film.
The plot will revolve around a girl who likes plants and after she receives a seed (probably from a friend who will be significant), she plants it and takes really good care of it the first couple of weeks. As time goes on, however, the protags life begins to get very stressful and the plant begins to wilt because she isn't physically or emotionally able to care for it. Weeks and weeks pass which is shown on the protags weekly calendar also tracking down the plant's growth (me thinks) and the climax of all of this will likely be a friendship breakup (with the friend that gave her the plant in the beginning woah full circle moment) but despite everything, the plant the protag planted is still shown to be growing even though an important relationship from her life just got absolutely obliterated from the test of adolescence! This plant metaphor is really cool and I can't wait to see how Vicky's group will pull it off and execute it in a supa awesome, meaningful way :D
Some concerns that Vicky had while presenting to us had to do with the plot and actors and the plant itself. There's still more plot points for her to flesh out with her film along with finding 2 actors to play the protag and her friend but definitely the most significant worry is the plant and how they are going to get one and show it growing, cause unfortunately real plants don't grow that fast! I'm not a plant person but I do wish that was the case so I could see flowers bloom in real time right in front of me do you know how cool that would be?? A girl could only dream!
For this concern, the group suggested that Vicky should buy 3 plants, one short, one medium, and one large, to replace whenever needed for the lovely camera and show its growth! This was a great solution, and shouldn't cost much :D Aneesa also suggested that the short film ends with a voice over of the protag touching on the plant metaphor to add some more context to it and make it more understandable to audiences which could really add a whole ton of sentimental value if written well.
I think this film idea is great and super meaningful to an audience of a bunch of teenagers also making silly movies. I'm already envisioning myself watching it when it's time to critique portfolios and bawling :D I normally ball but this time I will BAWLLLLL
okay hold on cambridge brb bathroom break
aight we back
guys my class is so creative holy moly wdym we're all making really cool things right now with only the power of a computer, a camera, and a brain say whaaaaatttt
Upppp next we had Mariana! PERIOD 8 GANG RISE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Mariana is doing a drama short film and working along with Audrey to bring it to life :D Her piece will be about this boy that loses his sister. She isn't so sure how said boy will loose his sister but the vision for sure is there and I'm loving it :DDD
The boy is super duper party hardy and one day decides to take his sister to a party. After that night, they both get into a huge argument and after it the sister leaves and uh maybe dies (?) The short film will be narrated by the boy while he is working through his first therapy session which I think is actually a really cool idea :D A film running purely on flashbacks can be pretty interesting if pulled off right! Mariana and Audrey are still figuring out how to kill off the sister and are debating between killing her or making her go missing but since they would like to lean more on drama instead of mystery and deal with the themes of grief, they are likely going to kill off the sister YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The group enjoyed what Mariana had in mind for her film so far and we gave her some suggestions to help her out develop plot lines and characters. The group suggested that the sister's death be super quick instead of having caused by something chronic or long term like cancer since that would be much harder to develop in under like 5 minutes duh broo duhhhhh !!!!!1 Along with that we also suggested to Mariana that she should make the sister younger than the boy since that will add a whole ton to his grief since that'll make him be all like "mannnn dude bro I'm such a bad older brother I was supposed to be her role model and stuff mannnn if only I didn't take her to that party and shiii" except make it 10000x more emotional :D
dude it's so hot in the room im currently in bro double yew tee eff
We also told Mariana that if she were to make the boy talk to a therapist and make the whole short film go off of their session, then she should cast an adult for said therapist instead of like a 15 year old to make it make sense! Sometimes I be seeing the youngest looking people alive playing as adults who are supposed to be older than 40 and I'm all like "wha :D" same goes with vice versa! Casting matters people!
I'll be really looking forward to checking out this film and see how Mariana and Audrey developed the relationship between their protag and his sister ooo the intrigue ooo the drama oooooooooo ooo ooooo emi's invested ooooooo
Right after Mariana went Fabiana! LMFAOOOAOAOOA isn't it so funny when two names rhyme perfectly again thank u tstok that was really funny
Fabiana is working alone on a psychological thriller short film about this rich guy with a very nice lavish super duper awesome life with no problems. Thing is though, this dude had a huge accident a year back, killing someone with his car while on the way home. During the present day, he then receives a package that brings him back to what has happened o so long ago. Then, out of pure guilt, the protag cannot help but go to the police station to turn himself in. Fabi has still a lot of plot to flesh out but what she has so far sounds really awesome :] As for suggestions! We recommended Fabi to give additional context to the death of the ran over girl as an intro to the short film, not only showing what happened, but where and when.
Fractured (2019)
Fabi then expressed concerns of filming inside the police station since that is where her protag is going to turn himself in and then we said that she could ask and see if they'll let her, even if the chances seem a little iffy. Adriana also suggested that Fabi could only just film the outside of the station and end the scene with the protag putting his hand on the door knob, however since this is a whole short film and not a film opener like last year, Fabi isn't able to end on a cliffhanger, creating an obstacle with her ending. But I'm sure once her entire plot gets fully fleshed out, she'll have an easier time deciding what to do with the police station and such :D
This film idea reminded some of the people in my group about the 2019 thriller/mystery film "Fractured" which was all about this guy suffering from head injury and struggling to find the difference between imagination and reality. They then suggested that Fabi could make her main guy have some mental issues (schizophrenia) that causes him to blur the line between what's real and what's fake and therefore make one part of him not remember that one time he ran over the girl. To decide which approach will work better, normal guy with dark past vs. schizophrenic guy with dark past, Fabi may write 2 scripts, read them carefully, and make her final verdict on which route to go down on.
Overall this is a super duper cool sounding short film and I'm pretty curious about how Fabi is going to approach various aspects of her project, like actors, location, art direction, the whole shabang :DD Wahoo!!
Dani was the last (and certainly not least) to go on and present what she had going for her project! She's working with Gabi (marcela) and artist Annie LeMasters to make a super awesome story driven music video come to life since Annie lives all the way in Nashville Tenneesee and can't come down to Florida anytime soon. The song by LeMasters is called "I'll Call you When I Made It" which was said to be under the same vibe of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo which I already knew after checking out some of the research posts they made on their blog a couple days ago yayyyyyyy :DD The song they are using has a revenge-y, post break up resentment vibe that they would like to embody within their music video.
Since the chorus of the tune is repeated 3 times though, Dani and Gabi want their piece to not have their visuals repeated so much and instead tell a whole, consistent story through good writing and vibes from the song being utilized :D The story will essentially follow a relationship that starts off happy and healthy at first but then slowly but surely turns more and more toxic as time passes on. This reminded me of Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" short film that came out a while back. I watched it just recently and thought it was absolutely amazing, all the way from the story down to the acting. If this is what Dani and Gabi are mainly inspired by, I am absolutely sat !!! Along with the general plot they have so far, Dani also told us that she's going for a sunset kind of vibe with the visual/art direction of her music vid and was planning to film during sundown at the beach with Gabi later today which I thought was AWEEESOMEE ! Soon after Dani said she was going to try to film some parts during sundown though, Aneesa chimed in and suggested that she should instead try to film at sunrise to get some more time on her hands, since the sunsets here can be pretty short, lasting only about 15-20 minutes I would say. Waking up early is a pretty tedious task, but if it means getting some really really beautiful shots I'd definitely consider it to be very worth it :]
I am definitely really looking forward to checking out this music video once it's out and open and public to the great world on the great day of April 10th! I adore music vids and am absolutely such a huge fan of the aesthetic Dani and Gabi have cooked up for their piece so far mannn I already know I'm gonna eat it up >:DD
WOOHOO! THAT'D BE ALL MY SUPER DUPER CUPCAKE MUFFINS! It is getting kinda late so I would love to log off for a bit, take my eyes off of this ever glowing white screen that is Blogger.com and get some honkk mimimi in before I collapse. To my group members, I really loved every idea that you guys presented today, I came out of our meeting feeling so inspired, so rejuvenated, and SO ready to continue tackling my short film with pals Andrew and Joaquin and make it the best it could possibly be :] But alas! I must get me some rest!
Until I am conscious again, طاب مساؤك mi amigos, los quiero mucho

literally every single image i used was from Pinterest everybody say thank you Pinterest
otherwise every other bit of information came from my good ol cranium ;D
hi its like butt booty hole o'clock and I just recently saw the biggest mother(freaking) cockroach after waking up to go to the bathroom. This son of a gun was crawling around my bathroom countertop like he owned the place dude you best believe I moved all my personal belongings and anything else I considered valuable from my room, barricaded every single door connecting to my bathroom, and BOOKED IT. I am now residing in my game room, lounging on the couch writing this blog and trying to take my mind off the little shit I saw earlier.
an insanely accurate representation of my current state
straight sups in band mpa btw 😛
let's go lightning >:D
alrighty i'm going back to sleep lol goodnight cambridge talk to ya later
Its week 3 :D Welcome to week 3 :DD Why are we moving so fast :DD I have to lock in on social media sooner than I thought :DD No complaints though this sounds super duper fun :DD I can't wait to start :DD
BUT FIRST! BEFORE ANYTHING! I MUST RESEARCH!!
LIKE NOW! LIKE RIGHT NOW! BEFORE THE WORLD EXPLODES COME ON LETS GO LETS GOO LETS GOO HURRY UP LETS GOOOOOOO
GRRHAHAHGAHAHGRJ SOCIAL MEDIA AAGAGAHHAGAAHHAHAGAHAHAH PART 1: LOCO @loco_shortfilm
So today in class we were tasked to go online and search for any social media pages similar to our own project :D Since Joaquin, Andrew, and I chose short film for our lovely piece, we had to go on the internet and search for any social media pages whether that be Insta, TikTok, Facebook, or what have you, that are also for short films! At first I thought we just had to search up pages for any media text similar to our project's genre but I was completely wrong!! I had to dig IN!! After going outside with the entire class for better internet, many deep dives into every single Google search I made, and 10 quatrillion "have you guys found anything yet"s, I finally found three pretty good social media pages! :D Both for super duper obscure short films that I have never ever in my life heard about! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The first page I found was for the short film, "Loco" directed by Eddie Mujica, a dark comedy film all about anxiety. The platform these guys used to get their film out to our lovely world was Instagram! Which is what I plan to do for our social media page :D I lobe Insta :D It's nice to use :DD One of the very first things that stood out to my two eyes (and my super duper secret third), was the color palette and fonts chosen for most of the beginning posts as well as the profile picture! I actually really love the bright neon cursive font used here on this page, it really stands out :] I think it also goes well with the film's general plot and theme as its about anxiety and idk about u guys but bright neon green just screamsAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH in the best way possible :D
If you take a look to the right of your lovely screen, you'll be able to see how Loco's social media page appears at first glance. The fonts, description, high quality BTS pics, and profile picture already make a whole statement about the film and builds interest among viewers (it did for me :D). All the posts here at the top, are made with Loco's very near release in mind, as there are a plethora of BTS, crew pictures, one key art post, and most of all, A TRAILER! It's important to keep audiences hooked with your film, especially when its release is RIGHT around the corner and this page definitely did that pretty well :D
For my social media page, I intend to also release a short clip from our film near its official release (April 10th cause that's the day I must turn this project in or else the Cambridge Lads will come for my head :DDDDD) along with a good amount of crew pics, perchance celebrating the end of production. I'm already imagining like a picture of Joaquin, Andrew, and I, and any other people that we may get for our film, posing happily in a picture after our last day of filming, with the caption "FILMING COMPLETE!" and it's super happy and whimsical and stuff my gosh I am so excited to make this thing Cambridge i love u
Now moving on to the middle of Loco's Insta page! Because oh yes, my flying unicorn monkeys! There's some more content to unpack! I GOT INSPIRATION FOR DAYYYYSSSSAHAHAHAHAHAH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I'd definitely say that this specific part of the social media page is arguably the weakest in terms of branding. After the "meet the crew" posts from the beginning of the page, the posts highkey deviate from the colors and general aesthetic of the film which bothers me a teeny tiny bit. It isn't the biggest deal but I'd love if these posts actually remained true to the brandinggggughghghhhghhf BUT THEY'RE STILL AWESOME! This section of the page mainly features one on one videos with the film's director and some pretty nice BTS with the location scouting video :D These videos are all pretty funny and personally makes me invested in what this director has to offer to us viewers with his silly little short film about anxiety and stuff!
I think it'll be super duper cool to feature our film's director (Joaquin :D) or producer (me :D), or sound designer (Andrew :D), or art director (me :D), or actors (all of us :D)!! It would be a super nice way to connect with our audience and put our short film out there in the big seas of the internet for all to see and enjoy. Another thing from this section that I would love to take away are the BTS videos like the location scouting one! I'm definitely going to be documenting a whole ton of our production days not only for this blog but also for the social media page! It's gonna be so very fun.
OKAY WAIT HOLD ON IM NOT DONE YET
There's one more part here for all you lovely England people (and tstok hi tstok isn't this post super awesome so far) to look at!! THIS PART OF THE PAGE ALONG WITH THE MOST RECENT POSTS ARE THE BEST IN TERMS OF BRANDING! I love to see it :D Like some Insta pages do it to introduce their super awesome stuffs, these guys chose to make one post at a time to construct a picture of their logo along with the directors name at the bottom! Obviously, as time went on and as more posts were made, this became a little drowned out which is why an entire picture is no longer really constructed but I'm sure when the page first started it was super duper cool and awesome! And it still is! Just a lil wonky now :D
I'm still debating whether or not I'd like to do the same thing here with my social media page since it's something I've never done and don't know how to do correctly BUTTT I can always learn! It's tedious at times but I always trust the process :] This could be a really nice introduction to my social media page and the branding of our short film so I'm leading towards including it in the beginning of our page :D It's important though that I first watch some tutorials on YouTube and stuff like that to actually understand how these types of postings work and how to execute them well! More to come with time but I'm likely going with this approach after I lock in on its inner workings >:D
OKAY OKAY LETS GOO LETS GOO LETS GOO COME ON WE'RE MOVING ON COME ON LETS GOO HURRY UP TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE LETS GOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GRRHAHAHGAHAHGRJ SOCIAL MEDIA AAGAGAHHAGAAHHAHAGAHAHAH PART 2:DEADHEADING @deadheadingfilm
The page for this film at first glance actually looks pretty cool with all the super duper high quality BTS images being thrown around here :D Some feature the actors and some others feature the crew which is something that I definitely would love to implement into my own social media page! Some could feature all of us in our costumes for our own respective characters and some others could feature us as our normal director/producer/sound designer/art director selves! I'd love to achieve this level of high quality for each picture, and for that I'm planning on using my Canon EOS Rebel T7, a super duper awesome camera that I got for Christmas :] I have some pretty good experience on it as I have been photographing with it for 2 months now so I'm really excited to use it in and out of set to capture some sick ass BTS :DD LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
fav pic of mine I took with my canon :]
OKOK BRB! I must go eat lunch now :DD
Hello super awesome blog readers I am now back from lunch! :D I bought myself like 15 mins here in my current class so here I go!! IM A SPEEDRUNNER BABY IM A SPEEDRUNNER AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAGAGAGGGAHAHFAHGAGAGHAHAJ
where was i
YES!
Moving on from the most recent part of Dead Heading's page! We are now in the middle section! Most posts in this area are videos featuring the crew members either talking about their own film or other films! It's a pretty fun way for audiences to get to know the people behind the piece of media they are watching :D Here, the colors are mostly dark browns with some yellows and greens incorporated within, which builds some type of brand but it fails to remain consistent short film social media pages try to remain consistent with their branding challenge IMPOSSIBLE Apart from that though, I would likely take some pretty good inspiration from this part of the social media page! The branding, unlike the rest of the page, stays pretty consistent with its dark browns and blacks and is very engaging to audiences looking to find tons more information about Dead Heading through the cast and crew members! I would love to have a special Emi video where I go over anything art direction or acting as Otto, a special Joaquin video going over some screenplay processes and direction, and a special Andrew video going over the creation of the post card and sound design for the film! I think video is probably one of the most engaging ways to present anything important to audiences especially in this day in age where nobody has picked up one book within the past 6 months of their lives that is totally not me what are you talking about
NOW FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE PAGE! Very similar to the middle, this part of the page has some more videos of the cast/crew talking about their film and other things :D It stays true to the brand built in the middle of the page which is very nice! I really love how they introduce their page with some really cool ass and incomprehensible looking promo art for the film which is definitely another option that I could take on instead of the one by one "build a picture" postings. See, 17 years ago I was gifted with the beautiful ability to pick up a pencil and draw anything that my lovely brain can think of :D I could definitely use that special gift to make some good promo art for our short film and use it as a good intro to our page. It'd also be a great time just posting some whenever, especially when we are getting close to our release date (April 10th be like: OOOOOoooOOOOooooOOOO OOooooOOOOoooo), I think that's a really great way to not only build the brand of our short film but also intrigue audiences by making them interested in what we have to offer in the future. also guys ignore that one blank post right there and back there when I was talking about Loco lollllll even though my class and I went outside my phone still tweaked a lil
OKAY DONE HERE LETS GOOO LETS GOOO COME ON COME ON HURRY UP WE GOTTA GO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GRRHAHAHGAHAHGRJ SOCIAL MEDIA AAGAGAHHAGAAHHAHAGAHAHAH PART 2:FUDGE SUNDAE @fudgesundaefilm
ONE MORE EVERYBODAY! I uh may have misread the directions tstok put up for us and almost posted this blog thinking we only had to research 2 films AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHH UR SO FUNNY EMI!! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHwhatiswrongwithme
WELCOME TO OUR THIRD!
Out of all the social media pages I've checked out so far, I'd say that this one is definitely the coolest in terms of branding :D It doesn't stay consistent all the way but it still manages to build a cohesive color palette and general vibe for audiences to marvel at and enjoy which I really admire :] This was the first impression I got from this page which is something that I really want for my audience!
It's important that my page IMMEDIATELY stands out to everybody so they can stay there and be all like "woahhhh emi is so crazy cool and awesome at designing shitttt woahhhhh can she sign my face woahhhhh" that is the ultimate goal people! Speaking of which, the first thing that you're able to see on this page are various posts all about winning awards at film festivals. For example, one post is a screencap from the short film with super cool award thingys all over it, and another is a hand holding up a trophy won at a film festival in Manchester! Since we won't be actually submitting our production to any film fests before the due date, I most likely will not go down this route of "WOAHAHAHAH GUYS LOOK WE WON AWARDS AT THESE COOL EVENTS LOOK AT MY TROPHY LOOOOOKKKKK" since its physically not possible :D To me, the real trophy will be submitting this project in time knowing we ate the house and everybody's mama >:D
Along with these super awesome postings, one of the most recent and prominent Fudge Sundae posts is a teaser! This is probably closer to what I'll include in our page near our film's release. Not a whole ahhh trailer but something short to hook audiences on what we're putting out into the world for them to see soon. Taking the absolute absurdity of our film into consideration, the clip I'll include will possibly be very strange and taken out of context to add to its bizarre-ness.
STAY SAT I HAVE MORE
The middle section of this page still shows a whole ton of film festival stuff like awards, selections, and all that but also features some really cool BTS pics that are very pleasing for the eye to see :D
The brand here still stays pretty consistent so I'm not caught off guard all that much when scrolling down :] Nothing really new that I'd like to implement is featured here as the last page I talked about had a heck ton of super duper cool high quality BTS pictures that I'd love to implement into my own. One thing though that's worth talking about is the poster featured like (lol) twice on the page to announce the film's screening at certain film fests which I think is pretty cool :D I'll definitely be posting key art on my page but not to announce film fest stuffs, more so for catching the attention of our target audience and keep them invested in our film until its very release on the lovely day of April 10th :D Can't wait everybody Cambridge have I ever mentioned how much i love u
wait guys holy shit its march i forgot to mention that in the beginning of this post lol lmaaooo lmaooo
GUYS HAPPY MARCH SPRING HAS SPRUNG IDC IF ITS TECHNICALLY STILL WINTER ITS SPRING TIME LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now for the beginning portion of this social media page :D Just like the two other social media pages I talked about last, this page also begins by introducing the cast/crew members through some really cool high quality black and white pics which is a pretty cool choice since it kinda matches the brand and general aesthetic of the film! WAHOO!! I LOVE CONSISTENCY however we are lacking brown here. brown is needed. everybody sound the alarms we need brown.
UNNNLIKE the last two pages I talked about here, this particular page begins with a simple photo of the screenplay, revealing the title and the director of the film. This approach is pretty interesting but I don't intend on using it since in my opinion it doesn't have that much pizzaz. Emi wants pizzaz :D Her film will be very weird :D Pizzaz is a must :DDD
OKOKOK LETS GOOO LETS GOOO COME ON QUICKLY LETS GOOOOO LETS GOO HURRY UP HURRY UP WE GOTTA GO LIKE NOW LETS GOOO COME ON COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh we're done
yay perfecto i am able to receive adequate sleep now :D
okie dokie blog! I'll be back RIGHHTT before you know it with a super duper cool post that will knock all your socks off!!!!
HELLLOOOO BLOGGGGGG!!!!!!! Happy Saturday! :D It is currently 9:26AM and I just recently got out of bed like 20 mins ago and took a shower! WAHOO! I feel so awesome and refreshed and ready to write this blog post, go eat breakfast, and then write more of this blog post :D
Speaking of which! Today's post is gonna be the last for this week, and the last of researching media texts! Next week I'm gonna have to dive into social media pages, so this is officially gonna be the final time you'll see me yapping about absolute BALL. I am so glad we chose to do a dark comedy because literally all of my favorite pieces of media fall under that genre in one way or another.
OKOK! So with all that being said, today we're gonna talk all about The Amazing Digital Circus, a YouTube series that recently got added to Netflix (GOOO TEAMMMM!!) and Parasite, literally the greatest movie of all time. VAMONOS AMIGOS!!
THEAMAZINGDIGITALCIRCUS(2023)!
If you ever went up to me one random day and asked me "yo emi what's your favorite show ever of all time" I would immediately respond with "THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS!" Unlike some of the other media texts I've talked to you guys about, this is the piece that I am most familiar with as I have watched every episode some once, some twice, and some thrice!! I am still an avid follower and currently waiting for episode 8 to drop later in March! (YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYA)
I first got blessed by the great presence of this show way back in October of 2023 when I was a freshie. I clearly remember sitting in the auditorium, doing some homework as that was my study hall period, and suddenly seeing my friend at the time pulling out his computer and beginning to watch this very colorful looking YouTube video with a bunch of kooky looking characters who seem quite distressed. Obviously, I was immediately intrigued and put my hw to the side for a bit and watched along with him :D From then on, I was HOOKED!! The characters, the humor, the animation, and the plot really REALLY stood out to me, and I wanted nothing but to watch much much more.
Now that the plot was recently just mentioned, it's time I tell you all what the helly this thang is about so you don't like explode or something! HOLD YOUR HORSES
Directed and created by the most amazing Gooseworx and distributed by GLITCH productions, TADC is a psychological dark comedy/thriller that follows a woman who gets suddenly transported into a new crazy wacky world after putting on a strange headset. As we all probably would, she begins freaking the freak out and immediately starts looking for an exit. Unfortunately for her though, she gets told by other humans, who have been in the same exact situation for years, that she's basically cooked with no way out, just like they all are! :D YAYYY!!!
The woman then receives a new name, Pomni, after being introduced to the entire new world by ringmaster/AI, Caine. To keep everybody from going insane, Caine sends everybody in the circus on daily adventures, and Pomni has just become a new character in his cast! From then on, Pomni and the rest of the humans are sent on the wackiest, unfathomable side quests of all time and have existential breakdowns and stuff like that :D It gets pretty dang awesome :DD
Alsoalso, just because I'm gonna probably be referring to the rest of the characters in the show a lot, I'm gonna give them a nice introduction by showing you the TADC theme song played in the very first ep of the series! It's fun, it's catchy, and Pomni herself isn't featured in it until the very end because she didn't spawn in yet :D And Kaufmo died :DD By abstraction :D Which is basically just when you get so INSANE you begin to transform into a big scary, incomprehensible, distorted version of yourself :DDDD More on that later :DDDDDDDDD
(GLITCH Productions, 2023)
MEET THE CAST!!
From here, Pomni comes a long way from being the scared, freaked out, "holy helly what's going on I'm literally gonna die and take you all along with me" type of character to a more level headed, genuine, kind person to all members of the circus along with herself!
In the first episode it was made very very clear that Pomni was scared of losing it and dying due to abstraction and in the beginning of the second episode it was made even clearer that she was petrified of abstraction ALONG with being forgotten and thrown away by the circus gang and Caine himself, which is a very reasonable, realistic fear to have when you're trapped in a digital world with complete strangers and seemingly no way out.
By the end of episode two though, after attending Kaufmo's funeral along with the rest of the characters (except for Jax) (the purple rabbit guy if u forgor), Pomni eventually realizes that she's not in this crazy wacky circus thing alone. She has other people alongside her going through the exact same situation and they all have something to bond over because of that. Even if they are strangers, they still have a beautiful connection to foster and cultivate with one another. From even then on, Pomni progressively becomes closer with all of them, finding more and more purpose to just keep on living normally, even while knowing she might not actually be able to escape her current very strange life, and that's something so very beautiful to me :] Below I'll embed some super awesome videos to show you everything that I just talked about :DD And to also kinda get you to watch Digital Circus :D This is NOT an ad :DD

I truly really adore how this show represents and deals with heavy themes like existentialism, mental fragility, and the power/complexities of genuine human connection :D Similar to Dan Da Dan, this show is SO incredibly kooky yet so deeply profound. Within literally every single episode, all 7 of them, no matter how batshit insane it gets, there are always serious themes and genuine conversations implemented into them to build upon character bonds and communicate/connect to audiences the significance of human connection within a stagnant, meaningless life.
LIKE LOOK AT THIS
THESE CLIPS ARE IN THE SAME EPISODE

GLITCH Productions (2025)
this made me cry
Yeah you should get the point by now :D There's comedy and silliness ALL over this show but when it's time to lock in, it LOCKS TF IN. That's what makes this show ESPECIALLY stand out to so many people, because the entirety of this piece, despite the crazy ass circus setting and character designs and just everything, it just still feels SO REAL (!!!!) This is obviously in terms of character dynamics and personalities and dialogue and how they are genuinely represented as actual real people with genuine flaws and issues within their personal lives and mental health.
So many people are so drawn to TADC because of just how relatable it can be, and that means so much as a member of the audience :DDD Taking every single aspect of this show into consideration, I'd like our film to be majorly goofy comedy while also writing the serious themes of power and religion all over it!
However, in contrast to the most Amazing Digital Circus, I'd rather we instead be profound visually more than with dialogue. Otto will be shown rather than told getting more and more batshit insane and more and more possessed by the devil as the piece goes on just to get her promised power get taken away from her at the end of the film. This leaves her on the ground, traumatized, confused, and wondering what the freak all of the crazy wacky antics she just did was all for. This for sure is NOT final but a concept like this is something I'd like to go for :DDD But obviously there's so much story for us to fill out. Let us cook for a sec :DD Just you wait Cambridge :DDDD
(Art by sunny-knight on Tumblr!)
One last aspect of TADC that I think is pretty worth talking about is our lovely AI ringmaster, Caine :D Pictured above in that lovely fanart, he is a weird looking pair of teeth with a hat and awesome suit, and all he does for the circus is send every character on silly goofy wacky adventures to keep them in check!
WAIT HOLD ON BEFORE YOU CONTINUE THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS BELOW THIS DO NOT READ IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY THINKING OF WATCHING THIS SHOW WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS NO THIS DOESN'T COUNT FOR THE EXAMINERS OR TSTOK U GUYS HAVE TO GIVE ME A GRADE YAYYYYYYYY PARTAY PARTAY OKOK CONTINUING
As the show progresses though, the people of the circus begin to loathe the adventures he keeps sending them on. This then sends Caine into a crisis of his own, as he wants to make everybody in the circus happy but is constantly failing at doing just that. He glitches out, he gets more unhinged, and he's looking more and more for human approval to keep him sane. In episode 7 though, Caine takes the adventure a little bit too far. He knows DANGGGG well that everybody in the circus one way or another wants OUT and so because of that he was all like "OOOO I SHOULD MAKE AN ADVENTURE WHERE THEY PLAN TO ESCAPE THE CIRCUS! YEAHHH!! YEAHHHHHH!"
look listen Caine is just an AI trying to do his job correctly while having little to no understanding of genuine human emotion. In his little robotic mind, he thought what he was doing was right, because it was something that the humans would like since that's what they wanted for so long. Howwweverr there is debate whether or not this was an adventure or something real that Caine put a pause to.
Here's where it gets interesting and what makes the people of the audience REALLY think. In the control room, there were two buttons that Caine provided, red and blue (kinda like the matrix oooo wowowowowoowwoowoowowowowo i never watched that movie before) If they picked blue, the gang would leave the circus and if they picked red, that means they stay there forever. Last minute though, Pomni gets scared and starts thinking that the adventure they went through might have been a trap, but suddenly, after having intense flashbacks to his past in the real world, Jax presses the red button.
What would have happened if Jax never pressed the red button?? What if he pressed blue? Would they have actually left? WHY did Jax have flashbacks to his life outside the circus??? Did Caine infiltrate his mind and control him so he could press the red button?? SO MANY QUESTIONS, SO LITTLE ANSWERS!!!! WATCH EPISODE 8 WHEN IT COMES OUT EVERYBODY WE MUST HAVE ANSWERS AGAIN THIS IS NOT AN AD I SWEAR THIS IS NOT AN AD
okay im locked back in. After the events of episode 7, the fandom has been divided up to Caine haters and Caine defenders. TADC's next episode will come out in late March to probably confirm or give more clues towards the truth but as for now, we can only assume and say that either Caine made a what he thought was a harmless adventure or he actually stopped the circus members from escaping because without them he'll have no job and therefore no purpose as an AI in a video game. THIS SHOW GETS PRETTY DEEP PEOPLE! I'm still thinking about the possibilities to this day!!! Down below I'll embed a video of the scene I just talked about, it has everybody who's ever watched it rethink Caine's entire character.
GLITCH Productions (2025)
batshit insanity
Everything leading up to this scene was Caine getting more and more unhinged, more glitchy and more desperate for human approval. He started the show off as a seemingly happy go lucky AI ringleader who could do no wrong but what he did here was objectively SO WRONG. Again, whether Caine wanted to make an actual adventure or not, this doesn't take away from the fact that even he himself is going down a rabbit hole of deep insanity kinda like the circus members, except with no genuine human connection or validation to keep him sane.
Pinterest (2024)
There are significant flaws in Caine's character that get more prominent and more recognized as the show goes on, and that's surely inspiration that I'd love to take for our short film :D I'm thinking of possibly portraying the devil (disguised), Annie Christopher, as a nice happy go lucky guy that's just trying to spread around something he's passionate about which in this case is his new religion. As Otto continues to carry out his tasks to receive the power she was promised, though, he progressively gets more aggressive and way more insistent on spreading around his shit cause uh oh! Plot twist!! All the power that Otto is garnering?? THATS FOR HIM!!! Annie wants so much power that he revs up the intensity of Otto's activities, betraying her in the end and running off with everything he promised her :D Cool beans right :D Again, NOT set in stone but it's the genuine thought and consideration that counts :D Please give me an A :D
PHHEWWWW! HOLY YAP! I am literally just scraping the tippy top of the surface with this show, but this is all that I have to say and analyze about it in regards to our own film :]]
Seeing how there were like no in text citations (excluding videos and images) throughout this entire section really goes to show just how much of a Digital Circus enjoyer I am and how freaking INVESTED I am in every little thing it has to offer. The story isn't over yet! So before things wrap up this year with the releases of the last 2 episodes, I'd definitely go ahead and give the series a watch if I were you THIS IS NOT AN AD
PARASITE (2019)
Okie dokes! Almost done everybody! This film is our last hurrah before next week :DD Before I'd start I'd just like to say
THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
To the tippity top very far right of your screen you'll be able to see all my favorite films! Even though some are outdated as I wrote everything on there a whole year ago, Parasite still remains to be an absolute all time favorite of mine.
I watched it last year here in my lovely home with my father one day and my whole brain chemistry changed right after it. It was to the point where I recommended it to my AS Media class!! And I RARELY recommend!! THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOOD!!
So what the helly is it about? WAIITT WAIITTTTT CHILLL CHILLLLLLL
i zoned out
DUDDEEEEEEEEEEEE ITS ALMOST SPRING CAN YOU BELIEVE IT
lala dee lalalaa doo lalala mee elalal youuu
ALMOST DONE COME ON LETS GO
SIGMA MODE ACTIVATED !!!!!
Parasite (2019) follows a poor family, the Kims, consisting of a mother, father, and two children, living within the streets of Seoul looking for good money. To get a job at a super duper mega mansion, the son secures a job as a tutor for the super duper mega mansion family's daughter by getting help from his sister to forge a fake resume. Chaos then absolutely ENSUES as the Kim family knocks down the already established workers for the Park family and takes over allll their occupations. It's funny, it's crazy, and most of all, in hindsight and in deep analysis at the very same time, it is DARKKKKKK
Unlike all the other media texts I've talked about so far, Parasite is so much more disturbing/dark than kooky. The director of this film, Bong Joon Ho, tackles the topic of social/income inequality and power struggle.
He was essentially very locked in and made his movie the worlds greatest masterpiece with amazing writing and spectacular care for the heavy themes while communicating them with audiences effectively. A little bit similar to Dan Da Dan, excluding the kookiness and colorfulness, Parasite is a nice blend of a heck ton of genres. SWEAR!! This was one thing that especially stood the helly out to me upon my viewing!!! One second you'll see the Kim family goofing around and enjoying every little bit and moment they have in the Park house while they're at vacation, and the next second you'll see the youngest child of the Park's eating cake, turning around, and seeing this CREEEEPPPPYYY ass man slowly lifting his head up the basement GJHHGITRGJDKFG I SHIVER IN MY TIMBERS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT DUDE HERE LOOK AT THIS I HAVE EXAMPLES LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKK
Parasite (2019)
ts our house now brah
Parasite (2019)
FUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH NAHHHH
What's happening in the first scene I showed you lovely blog viewers, has plenty of comedic undertones to it as DUHHHH the Kim's don't live in that house! They took it over! Like a Parasite! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHA I SAID THE THINGGGG THE TITLE THE THINGGGGG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
sorry I zoned out again what's my name
Not only is that first scene pretty silly, it also has its bit of tension! As the Kim's get more and more comfortable, you can begin to feel anxious for them knowing that all of what they're doing is building up to something big, and that was probably definitely intentional by the director. The entirety of this movie is really this way. It's funny most of the time, but you know DANG well that something is wrong, and yes, it will continue to go wrong. RRRHGHHG THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD BONG JOON HO PLEASE SIGN MY FACE
As for the second scene! I think I won't be able to get sleep tonight!!! IT GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'VE WATCHED THIS CLIP MORE THAN TWICE AND IT STILL GIVES ME THE HEEBIE JEEBIES!!!! I'm definitely NOT a horror fan like at all, but I actually really enjoyed all the horror elements implemented into Parasite! (except for maybe the really scary graphic parts I don't do well with gore) Like I said up there in the previous paragraph, you're scared most of the time cause the director is clearly telling you the whole time "YO THESE CHARACTERS ARE IN CRAZY DANGER AND SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG YOU ARE MEANT TO BE FREAKED OUT!!!!" "BE FREAKED OUT!!!" Thank you Bong Joon Ho I was very freaked out most of your film! Especially when watching the ending! :DD
For our short film, I don't think we are planning on truly scaring audiences/implementing horror elements like Parasite but, very much like it, we are thinking on tackling serious topics. Parasite is VERYYY similar to the current concept we have of our plot right now as the entirety of the film is literally just a power struggle that is essentially worthless in the end, literally like how we want to do it. Like the Kims, Otto goes on miles and MILESSS to receive the power she has always wanted but is left stranded in the end as she got deceived and left with ultimately nothing. WOWWW BONG JOON HO WE ARE SO ALIKE! PLEASE TAKE A SELFIE WITH ME
GUYS WATCH THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW ITS A MUST
now I recite my concluding statements :D Cause it's late at night and me want sleep :DDD Sleep good :DDDD banana :DDDD
Week 2 is officially complete everybody!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! We are slowly making our way out of the planning/research stage as week 3 is pretty much the final week of it! GET LIT!! I'm really hoping once my group and I meet again we will finally come to a total agreement on a plot that we all like :D I'm really really excited and looking forward to where this supa awesome project will take us!!
As for now!! I must lay in my bed and go unconscious for about 8 hours!!
Boa noite super awesome blog readers, watch The Amazing Digital Circus and Parasite RIGHT NOW and remember to always stay snazzy!
