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!

Day 4

  May 11 2023, 6:30pm         Today was the day we met with Santiago Marcos who is our mentor. We got up around 8am and went and walked to grab some coffee to start our day. We had our meeting at 1pm, so we had some time before to relax and draft some questions that we were curious about to ask. Then we headed over to our meeting to a restaurant/cafe called Zinc. At Zinc we sat down and got to talk to Santiago about our project, what it entails and how we can make it the best. Camila and I talked a lot about our ideas and what we have been thinking it should look like. Santiago gave us a lot of really great advice and gave us some documentary recommendations to watch to get some creative ideas from. He also gave us a lot of little tips for the audio, soundtrack and how to draw the audience into the documentary. It provided us a lot of insight and a lot of inspiration for our documentary. Our meeting was very exciting and helpful for our project. Furthermore...

Editing

  May 17th 2023     Today was a sufficient day of editing. Camila and I woke up up made some breakfast and then did some organizing and laundry. After we did some chores we proceeded to keep editing which was very fun and we made sure to be very tedious with every part as we want it to be excellent. We went through all the videos started putting them in, listening to the audios and seeing what fits together. After this we took a break made some dinner. We had some taco bowls which was really tasty. Then we got right back to editing for the rest of the night. And right before bed we watched a movie! Hours today: 7 3 in morning, 4 in afternoon  Hours in total:  40.5

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. Cropp...
