Hustling in the city

 Day 3 of senior project, May 10th, 2023 


    Wow, I had the most busy day of my life and I am happy to safe I feel like I accomplished a lot. After some rest from the long travel day, today was the day we had planned to meet for our first interview. Now this could seem like one thing for the whole day but yet this isn’t true. Our day was filled to the brim with endless activities that helped us broaden our perspective on sustainable fashion and even just the hustle of Los Angeles. 

    To start our day Camila and I headed to grab some coffee to wake us up after the long travel day before. At 12pm we had our meeting in a different part of Los Angeles with a woman who owned her own sustainable fashion brand. Between our coffee and meeting we had some time to drive around and get excited for the next few days. Then as we headed over to the meeting we learned about navigating the bustling city and made sure to provide plenty of time for our ride over. When we made it over we were greeted by Ella the girl who owned the brand. She gave us a warm welcoming and we went into her apartment to see her studio, which consisted of many pieces of clothing made out of dead stock fabric. Ella let us kindly video her for our documentary and provided us with the content that we feel was perfect.  She said everything that we had researched or had known prior to and did an incredible job providing us with information. We left fulfilled as ever and ready to take on the rest of the day. We decided to stop at various of locations of LA like Sunset Blvd. for some lunch. We also went to Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica to make sure we got some shots for our video. We want this video to encapsulate LA and exemplify its role on fashion and especially sustainable fashion. After we had captured a lot of videos for our project we decided to head to the beach to soak up some sun and to keep planning ahead for the next days. Our next big plan is to meet with our Mentor Santiago tomorrow. And also to head into some thrift and vintage shops to talk to more people about their input and role on sustainable fashion. I am exhausted right now as Camila and I have spent the day doing absolutely everything everywhere and we are looking forward to the next day. We are learning so much just from this one day and are thrilled to keep learning more. I feel as this experience is preparing me for a lot and teaching me the importance of sustainability.

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
