Rest and research

 May 12th 2023 Day 5 8:30pm


    The day consisted of much less activities and more rest. We have had two very very busy days and today was a day were we got some much needed rest. Camila and I slept in a little bit and were sorta lazy, but then we got up and got our day going. We headed over to the Pacific Palisades which is an area that has some coffee shops and was a quick drive. Once we got there we grabbed some food, checked out some stores and filmed some more content. Then we went to the beach and got some much needed vitamin D, this provided us a lot of time to keep thinking about the documentary. The documentary and what it entails is most definitely extremely vital to the both of us, but we also don’t want to miss out on experiencing LA and what the city offers. We have been making sure to enjoy every moment and cherish every experience. We are so lucky to be here and grateful to experience an amazing city. It has only been three days and we have already had so much fun. I can’t wait to put all of our videos together and reminisce on our time spent here and also appreciate everything we learned from the different people we met with. Tomorrow we are meeting with Kyle Svendsen who is a designer and director for Drew House which is a clothing brand. He is going to give us his insight on sustainable fashion and how his company plays a role in it. So today we made sure to grab some more videos and write a little question sheet for tomorrow!

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
