YAYYYYY!
It's friday!

Today, my group and I finished filming clips for our Harry Potter spoof.
I can't say my acting was at its greatest but at least its done.

We shot the Voldemort-Harry "fighting" sequence.
We definetely got a lot of bloopers from that.
AND also a VARIETY of shots we can work with.

Hm... what else?
Oh, we also shot the "wall" scene and yes...thats it.

Since the video clips are done, we just need to do voice over and editing.

HOOOORAH for the weekend. :)

Okay so today, my group and I started filming our video project.
We got about 2 or 3 scenes done and we just need to edit them.

We did the car scene and even though it was kind of a struggle to get the shot, we got through it.
I realize that my group probably picked the toughest thing to spoof - I mean, its Harry Potter.
It's full of visual effects and it has a gazillion wesome props.

But, our group has to work with whatever we have.
We just have to make the best out of everything and hopefully it'll be good enough.

Other than that, there wasnt anything else needed to be done.
Except this blog..

Magazine Cover - Ambience

Bono is a great person. If anyone deserved a magazine cover - it'd be him.
He is really involved in the world -- poverty, and most especially Africa poverty, HIV/AIDS. TO be a good musician and an inspiring activist -- now that is rare.

Adbuster Spoof - Dove

Places such as Hollywood are concetrated with people, especially women, who are obessesed with their outer appearances. The adverstisements, movies, and media in general does not really help promote a good, ideal image that most people should admire. Instead, we are surrounded by almost anorexic models that most teenage girls seems to think to be 'ideal' where in reality, it exposes a negative,and unrealistic mindset for people. Also, we are surrouded with celebrities who are "beautiful" not naturally, but because they had procedures done.

I decided to spoof the Dove Real Beauty Campaign because most people, especially the younger generation base their idea of "real beauty" on the media which often portray the opposite of what "real beauty" is. For my spoof, I included Donatella Versace, a woman known for her obsessive cosmetic procedures such as botox, and lip collagen implants. The world should know that beauty is not a result of plastic surgery. Beauty is not just on the outside, it is also in the inside.

People should not idolize the PLASTICS of Hollywood - get REAL!
