First week reflection

 May 14 Day 7


    Wow, it has been an incredible week. Camila and I have done so many things each day and I am so satisfied the way our trip ended up. I have learned so much and each day we were very eager to learn. I learned a lot about the fashion industry from multiple different people and most definitely explored LA. Everyday we went to different parts, went to different thrift stores, and met different people. I thought it was really important for our project that did everything we did. We got so many good videos of the beautiful parts of LA. From Santa Monica and the ocean all the way to Downtown we went to pretty much everywhere. Also not only did we see everything we tasted many different foods and explored the sustainable options of clothing. It wasn’t only all about the fashion and clothing but it was also a cultural experience that pushed us to learn the city. 

    On the note of the project, we fulfilled everything that we were looking for. The people we met with were perfect for our documentary. They gave us a great perspective on the fashion industry. They told us all about it their experience and all about sustainability. Camila and I had great knowledge before which we were lucky to have,. But after the interviews we learned how sustainability plays a role in the industry and why its important. Each person goes really in-depth in our interviews and you will see in the documentary how well each person knows a lot of information. Camila and I learned how important it is to purchase sustainable fashion and also how it is in the industry currently. We also learned a lot about product sourcing and manufacturing which showed us the fashion industry. Apart from what we learned we also went to the beach, exercised, ate good food, and explored California. And most importantly we went in person to different thrift stores to scope out the sustainability. It was a blast. 

    Lastly this week has taught me a lot about sustainable fashion. I have learned that it is actually super easy to participate in and seems to be pretty well incorporated into the business. Also our mentor really helped us with the production of the documentary with some tips on filming and editing. It is important for these to be considered when we develop everything next week. I am sad to be heading back to New Hampshire tomorrow, as I had a really great time exploring LA and being on the west coast. The city gave us a fresh perspective and made us realize that we want to move here someday. Personally, I love it here so much as there are so many creative and cool people that inspire me. The two designers that we met with taught me a lot and they both brought different perspectives to the table from a smaller scale company to a larger scale company. I feel like I have learned so much information and I also had fun! Can’t wait for next week!

Weekly reflection #2

 May 21st, 2023      What a week it has been. To introduce you to this week I will give you a little rundown. We started this week by traveling from across the country from LA all the back to Boston. Camila and I took a red eye which kind of messed up our sleep schedule. The prior week we had learned been really busy so the both of us were ready to relax and focus on putting the documentary together. Besides starting our week with traveling it was time for us to get creative and get ideas for what we wanted to do. We had a lot of great content from the prior week from our interviews and filming different shots of LA.      This week we accomplished a lot. We finished the documentary in total which is amazing and really exciting. I learned this week how to make videos pleasing to the ears and eyes. To make the documentary engaging you have to crop all of the videos to edit out parts of the interview where the person talking maybe paused or said um. Cropping the interviews took a lot of t

Second to last day

 May 22, 2023     On the second to last day of senior project it was Camila and I’s time to get everything completely done. Today was the day we finalized our documentary by doing all of the final editing, and creating the scripts for our voice overs. Today and tomorrow are the most crucial days because we want to go over everything to make sure that our product looks ready to go. It is really important that we go over every detail and keep making small little details. This is what we did today, we sat on our computers and rewatched over and over to check for mistakes. Also we made sure to fill out our time sheets and start working on our poster board to present at express fest. Today was a really busy day as we wanted to make sure everything was perfect.  Hours today: 10 Hours in total: 88.5

Last day

 May 23, 2023     It is the final and last day of senior project. Camila and I have put a lot of work into this documentary and we now have the final product. We worked on doing our voice overs today which was exciting and putting it in gave the personal touch of what we thought as the creators. Our product has came out so well and we have learned so much throughout this project. I am really happy I chose to do this project and to learn and create what we created. It took a lot of time and effort but the final product really shows everything we did and learned. The experiences that I had are priceless and I am going to forever carry on everything that I did. It was really important to learn about the sustainable fashion industry and to be in adult like situations and professional settings. I walk away on the last day with a new mindset and adventures behind me. Also with an incredible 20 minute documentary that we made to show the world what we did these past two weeks of senior projec
