Here is some information that's going to go onto my website:

The making of You Belong With Me….

In this dramatic love story, a girl sets out to be with the love of her life. The making of this great movie was a long but quite fun journey. There were a few hundred bloopers, which were extremely funny at the time. For example, the main protagonist in the story was about to walk towards her love in a dramatic scene and it was the last day of shooting. We were all very tired and excited to get home, then her leg gets stuck to the ground and comes off! It was a very funny time and woke most of us up. An hour later, we were ready to shoot again.
This movie is for all those teenage girls and guys out there that have trouble with love. The movies out there based on love right now end with a happy ending,, and although that is so sweet and cute, its not always accurate. What about those times when you don’t get the boy or girl in the end? Because that does happen, and quite a lot. This is what the video is based on, real life.



Trailer:

A girl sets out to be with the love of her life. Getting into a few bumps along the path of true love, does she end up finding him? Will he love her back? In this epic love story, with “a truth in it no other director could capture, with a shocking twist at the end, who could miss this blockbuster?” said by Rolling Stones Magazine, you better get your tickets fast. Out in cinemas on the 17th of July 2011.

Blue Man: He has starred in films such as, ‘Is that the big blob?’ and ‘Bluey: A documentary of the man behind the clay”. He has recently become famous how his great looks, so the director believed he was perfect for the part. The New York Times call him “an inspiration to all those actors out there doing second class, you can make it.”

Red Girl: Red girl has been a famour actor among crowds for a while now. Starring in the famous, “Dirty Playdohing” when she was only 10 and “The Boy in the Striped Play doh”, she was automatically a hit by the time this movie came out. The director wanted her in the movie because of the ‘vibe she gives off, as she just gets into any character asked of her, as if she’d played it for her whole life’.

White Girl: She was the enemy of the play, and with the actress Nicole Dohman playing the evil girlfriend; everyone knew that the movie was going to be big. “She played her perfectly, giving her famous stuck-up looks and her stances” said by Steven Spielberg.

Information

This term, we are creating a website for our movie we made in terms 2 and 3.
I would like my theme to be about love, and happiness, because thats the basis of this story.
I want to base it on this movie's website, Letters to Juilet. This is there website: http://www.letterstojuliet-movie.com/
I want to base it on this website because this movie is alike to my movie, 'You Belong With Me'.
I will do the theme cloud 9.
So far, i have done half of the website, but i need to add in the home navigation etc. I believe i will finish this before the due date.

Real music video

This is the real music video i based my istop motion on. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuNIsY6JdUw

Complete

I have completed the i stop motion except for one scene which i must complete in the next lesson as i do not have a usb to save it on. This is the finale, where the girl comes out dressed in a nice, pretty dress to the prom where she will meet the guy she likes and end up together. A very nice ending :)
I have put all the scenes together in i movie . All up, i have 49 seconds of i stop motion. I think the actual people are a bit dirty in the movie. and there are a lot of shadows. I think i should have looked at the light more. Also, the props keep moving in directions and shine light off in the wrong direction. This is in the first scene when the two are walking in there rooms. This shows that the background is paper and not real. I was disappointed about that. But i believe it was successful and will be great once made.

Plan for I Stop

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

This is my planning for my I Stop Motion. It has 5 scenes. It is based on the music video by Taylor Swift to the song You Belong With Me. It stars a girl and a boy who live next door to each other. The girl likes the boy but the boy is dating a ‘hot, cheerleader’ girl. This makes the girl sad and upset that she cannot be with him. Then, at the end, the girl changes into someone really pretty and goes to the prom and meets the boy there. They end up together. It will go for 1 minute and 15 seconds. It may go longer, depending on the amount of time I have left to submit it. Today I worked on my planning to get it spot on to what I want to do. This makes it easy to remember and read off when I am recording. I have changed a bit of the planning.

First Scene

As of next term, Milla, my partner, will not be here to help me with my assignment. She has moved to another school so i must do the rest next term. Firstly, we were doing a video on i stop motion with Milla and I as the main characters, but now we realized we would not be able to finish it due to Milla leaving. This means that we had to change our story board. So we changed to plasticine, and we are going to remake a music video to the song 'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift.
First, we will show half the screen of the 'boy' in his room and the other side of the 'girl' in his room.
They then walk to the window and then say hey to each other by writing on paper and holding it up.
It will say:
Boy: hey
Girl: hey. you okay?
Boy: yes just drama
Then she writes 'I love you' and looks up, but he isn't there anymore.
That is the first scence. This goes between these lyrics:
'You're on the phone to your girlfriend, she's upset. Shes going off about something that you said. Cause she doesn'tget your humour like i do.
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night. I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like. And she'll never know you're story like i do."

Script

What I’m doing for my assessment is of a girl getting up and choosing what to wear to go out for the day. She gets up, the doona moving by itself, and then she gets out of bed and walks over to the mirror in her pjs with out moving her legs. Then moving to the camera she tries heaps of different clothes on, and it goes from slide to slide with her in different clothes. Then she chooses what she wants to wear and goes off in the distance. I haven’t thought of the rest yet. I am not working with anyone☺

Stop Motion

I've decided that i will do stop motion. I am not the best artist and i prefer photography to drawing. That is probably the mean reason I chose to do Stop Motion. I'm now thinking of sprict ideas to use. Some are things like a new girl coming to school and others.

My Reflection- Shia Labeouf

Below is my happy and pleased Avatar. I made my Avatar from Shia Labeouf. The male's have a darker skin colour and also darker green eyes. The women of my Avatar have larger eyes.
The problems I had with this avatar was that I had to take away the wrinkles on his head and the tattoo on his arm. I thought I should erase the tattoo as guys that have large tattoo's, you don't exactly look at their faces and see happiness, you get scared of the tattoo and see him almost sinical.
Creating this avatar, I learnt how to mask and add other body parts. As you can see, the ears are added onto the body. I layered the hair over the ears, so it looked as if it were growing out of its head instead of just stuck onto the hair.
Shia's personlity is that he is really shy and conservative. He loves the beach, yet isn't a people person. His personality is shown in the avatar as he has his hair up on his head. He isn't looking directly into the camera rather his head is tilted down and his eyes are looking upwards. His background is him at a beach, and the sun is shining but he is alone. This is showing us his personality through this photo.
The most difficult thing I had trouble with was getting rid of the wrinkles and tattoos.
My learning style is i'm a visual learner. I need to see what i am doing and that is why i enjoy creative media so much as you see what to do on the smart board. Even though i need to do it to learn how to do it, i don't have to best memory so i prefer writing it down, then trying it.
Overall i am pleased with my Avatars, and i am excited to do the videos next term

My reflection-Cameron Diaz

Overall, I am happy with my final Avatars submitted. Below is the first of my Avatars, Cameron Diaz. I have transformed her into an Avatar. Her emotion is sad and worried.
The main problem i had was mostly making extra body parts i added in look like they were from the body, with the same skin colour and everything. The wrinkles on Cameron were not from her body, and as you can see i had difficulty getting the right purple to blend with the rest of the skin. Also the ears were slightly darker on Cameron which made them look less natural. I decieded to add the wrinkles to make her look that more worried, as most worried people have those few wrinkles between their eyebrows. I used the blow up brush to enlargen her cheek bones and nose to give that alien effect. I decided on the colour purple as it just matched both people. You can use the colour purple on sad people, yet also use it for those happy people. Cameron's personality is very confident, yet she worried about people. Even when sad, she looks like the kind, caring person she is. You can tell this is her personality as it's a full view of her face showing her confidence. SHe is looking straight into your eyes, like she is extending a hand out to you. The yellow softens her face, making her seem kind and caring. The large green eyes also add that kind effect to her. As these were brighter colours, instead of all being dull, it really expresses that kind, caring an dconfident personality.

Late reflection

Due to the assignment being due next week, I have been rushing each lesso to get the avatar 100% accurate. Because of this, I didn't paste my reflection last week. To catch you up, I have chosen to do my avatar on Cameron Diaz, and I am hoping to show her having a worried or sad face and a happy and joyeous face. Her skin, with a ting of green in it, is inhumanly and add's the avartar effect to her. So does the large eyes, the ear's on top of her yellow hair also ads to the avatar effect.
Up to today, i have done only my avatar and added the green tint and large eyes.
I have also made this avatar look upset, with the lips pulled downwards and the eyes brows lifted to show her worry. Wrinkles added to the forehead form another person hopefully makes her seem more worried.
Overall i believe this face shows my avatar looking worried. Below is my process

3rd of March lesson

Today, we learnt about our assignment and what to do. The idea's for my avatar is to stick to humanity, but give it a noticable twist.
We also learnt about the changing of skin colour and how to make someone look scared. As you can see to the right, i added a few sutle things to each person to make them more scared. I made the eyebrows on the woman go higher to make her look more worried, added a smile to the man outside and gave him green skin and also added a knife to the picture, to make it that bit scarier

Today in Creative Media, i played around alot, trying to find the best person to edit. It was pretty hard to find a good expression, so i decided that next lesson i would take a photo on my expressionless. This is what i did this lesson:

:)

Today we learnt about our assignment which is due the day before end of term, our last lesson. We have to do two pictures, changing the emotion using photoshop.

Wednesday's lesson

This is Taylor Swift but with my face pasted on it and a background of Disney World

Excited Faces

I chose to do 3 pictures of children because they seem to show the greatest amount of excited.
This first picture is of a toddler obviously quite excited about something, as his are going up and down, as children do when they get excited. His mouth is wide open, and eyes are wide.

The second picture here is of a boy really excited. Her cheeks are bright red, showing how far up his smile is. His eyes are closed, but you can still tell he is excited.

The third and final picture for excited is a young girl, turning a corner to be surpised by something, and that surprise turned into excited. Her eyes are shining, wide open and looking at the object that is exciting her. Her mouth, opened in a way that looks like it will never change, is showing us again of her excitment
