Yesterday my sister, Valeria, and I went out to the mall and we went around the mall to shops that she liked and I got a good amount of b-roll and and shots of her at the mall and interacting with clothes. Since she was mainly focusing on jeans I decided to focus my excerpt of clothes on jeans. I had some trouble trying to embed some of my what I filmed onto here but it's ok. Here's an establishing shot of one of the shops we went into where Valeria tried on some jeans. I'm not sure if it will play or not, but it's an establishing shot so there isn't much to see other than the sign of the shop anyways.

Instagram development
I have successfully further developed my Instagram account after the group meeting I had this week. They gave me some confidence to put out some of the ideas I had for my first two posts.
This is how my overall account looks like, I really like it so far! I finally ended up deciding what template I wanted to use out of the ones I previously demonstrated from Canva. The only thing I changed from my template was that I added "docuseries coming soon" instead of just the "coming soon". Below I'll include more info about each of my posts!This is the first post! I really ended up liking this one the most so I decided that I'm going to stick with the background and the font for the rest of my plans for the docuseries. When I first uploaded it I forgot to include a caption so I had to go back and edit a caption in. Oops. But it looks so cute I love it. I got my sister to like the post too. I still have yet to send the link to my account to my AICE media studies A level group chat so that they can follow and support my account too. I'll probably do that soon. This is the second post! It took me a while to finalize this one because I didn't think it looked right. I had a little trouble looking for a picture of myself that wasn't at school. I just wanted something that was taken outside of school. So I ended up with that picture from Valentine's day. I also had to go back to the template of my first post to find the name of the font, which is called Playfair Display, to apply it to my "meet the director" post. Since I was looking at the creation of the post for too long I started to think it looked bad, but I realized that it did look nice I was just overthinking it. So, I posted it and tagged my own Instagram account on the post. But once again I forgot to include a caption when I posted it, so I immediately went back and edited a caption into the post. Oops again..Wednesday, March 19, 2025
Group meeting #2

Print research
Ok so this time for print research, I was looking at posters for docuseries and I came across a docuseries that I watched a long time ago on Netflix. It's called The Nightstalker. It's about a serial killer called Richard Ramirez. I know it's not anywhere near my genre but it is a docuseries, so the poster can somehow relate to my type of research.
This the poster for the docuseries. I feel like they did a good job at making a poster, but I feel like they also messed it up because it's makes Richard Ramirez look cool with the dash of red light on his eye. Maybe that's supposed to represent the evil within him since the light is red. I feel like they messed up with that. Like to me, Richard looks cool when he's not supposed to. I think I'd make my poster with the colorful gradient that I used for my logo. Maybe some sparkles around the corners of the poster, and for the main focus maybe one of the interviewees. I need to think about the main focus a little further. It's hard to know what you want to be the main focus of something that represents the whole piece.Friday, March 14, 2025

Production/Instagram
I've started filming some b-roll! I filmed some b-roll of clothes around my house, since I'm sure that I'll film my project on the topic of clothes. I filmed my closet, my sister's closet, my brother's closet, and my parent's closet. I filmed four second still shots for each. I also took a still shot of my jeans cabinet. This Sunday, before my shift at Hollister, I'm going to go shopping with my sister to get b-roll of the mall and more clothes and shots of my sister shopping. I also started creating some designs for my Instagram page. I'm kinda nervous about that since I haven't posted anything at all. But I was editing them on canva.
This is the logo that I created! I think it's really cute and it accurately represents what my documentary is about. The colorful gradient in the background is meant to represent the types of personalities that are within every person, and like kind of the aura of each personality. How everyone is so colorful. I put the window in the center to represent the title of the documentary and so it can symbolize the action of being let into a person's personal insights to their personality and their true self. Now I just have to put that as my profile picture on my Instagram. After I created my logo, I started making different templates for the type of Instagram posts that I'd want to post on my account. I want it to really be the aesthetic that I want, so I made multiple.
Ok so all these are the ones that I created, so I really need to pick one so that it can be the basis for the rest of my Instagram posts. As you can see these specific templates are meant for a "coming soon" post for my documentary. I'll probably get my friend's opinions on which one they like the most and I'll pick the one that gets the most picks because I like all of them equally.

Production
Ok so today I had a shift at Hollister, and I didn't really have much time to record since I had to rush to work. However, after my shift I took two shots of the outside area of the Sawgrass mall. In the parking lot area. I'm probably gonna use those shots as establishing shots for my documentary. Before I left for my shift I was making sure that my digital camera was fully charged and everything. When I was doing this I realized that the camera wasn't turning on which scares me a bit. Though I eventually realized that it was because I had inserted the battery the wrong way. So after I fixed that, I inserted the correct time and date on the camera. I also recorded a short video to test for audio quality and camera quality. After I recorded it, I checked it out and it was pretty decent. Like its not pristine quality, but it's not horrible either. I can work with it!
