Hi, so I have spent the last few days collecting various clips of footage for the unboxing scene. I was so stressed because I felt like the boxes that I used as my props were just not as large as I needed them to be to make them look more realistic for someone to use when they move into a new apartment. When I filmed the boxes on the floor they just seemed to be unprofessional and unrealistic. My mom luckily had the bright idea to stack them up together, and I realized how bigger it made them seem and more appealing when filmed.
Below is a screenshot of what I filmed before and after my mom's idea.
I also realized that I did not just need to film the boxes themselves, but rather put various objects in their place. I believe this equally shows someone moving in, as they tend to fill up their apartment with things such as decorations and clothes. I filmed Chloe placing some of my clothes on hangers to fill up a closet, and I thought to use primarily white and pink clothing. A few months ago we did a lesson on color psychology and I remembered that white symbolized innocence and pink symbolized femininity. These two were a perfect match for my character and helped me establish her personality a little more.
Then I chose to film a few shots of Chloe placing books on shelves as I thought it hinted to her intellectual nature. Most of the books were romance books which would also lead the audience to believe that Chloe is a romantic herself.
Then I filmed Chloe placing a few plants on a shelf because I thought it added to the film's aesthetic and further pointed to the fact that she had just moved in. I felt like it also gave off a very girly, put-together nature for her.
I also made various props that I am happy to say I am proud of how they turned out. I was so determined to make it clear that Chloe was a very accomplished girl who won various trophies. So I did a little photoshoot a few weeks ago with one of her dance trophies and turns out I actually got to use it to put in a frame. I paired this with a trophy of my own and staged it so make it seem as yet another thing Chloe is putting to decorate her apartment. Below is the photo I had took of Chloe and beneath it is the picture of me doing so.
I also asked Chloe to send me various pictures of herself as well as taking it upon myself to look through her Instagram for aesthetic pictures of herself. I made sure to choose ones that showed her at dance competitions of her in very pretty lighting. My purpose for this was to create one of those walls that you can pin pictures off. The image below is the inspiration that I was going for. The link can be found here.
I thought I could print and film myself putting the images on the board. To fill it up even more, I thought of pinning some of my brother's soccer medals to further show how accomplished Chloe is. The board I used is one from my parent's office and although it is not as aesthetically appealing as the one from my inspiration, I though that it came out pretty well. Here's how one of the clips turned out.
Overall, very successful few days of filming and I look forward to editing it into my project!
