Costume, Hair, and Makeup

 Costume, Hair, and Makeup is a big part in showcasing to the audience important details they'll need to understand the plot in a film. It also brings the actions and storyline to life. In order to accurately portray the story that is being told the actors must look like what the scene is showing. For example, a ski instructor in a film would not be wearing a tank top and flip flops, they would have on protective gear and warm clothing. Makeup especially plays a great role in bringing the story to life because it can show how the character is feeling in a shot. I put together two examples of costume, hair, and makeup conveying a message to the audience. In the pictures down below a woman who has obviously been hurt is shown. Her makeup shows bruising, blood, and inflammation in her face. Bandages are wrapped around her head and nose these paints to the reader that the woman has gone through a trauma. the makeup in the picture also reveals an internal idea of how she is feeling. the character looks beat up and warn out and this is an accurate representation of what she feels inside currently.

Media studies have so far taught me the importance of understanding how the media is used to engage audiences.      What I hope to get out of the experience of learning media studies is generating a basic understanding of how media affects me and how I can apply to know those skills to my soon adult/career life. I would like to be able to break down certain media pieces to interpret them and respond or react accordingly. Some of the media I consume on the daily basis include social media, prin...

Setting, Set Design, and Props Preliminary Exercise

 Production Design  Production design is the overall visual look or aesthetic of a story. There are different factors that make up production design in a movie including setting, set design, and props. These three contribute greatly to the overall feel the audience decodes. The role that setting plays is showing the importance of the place the movie takes place in to the plot. Set design can also widely contribute to the feelings of the characters in the scene and props do this also. The production designer is responsible for production design. It is significant to audience because it helps convey deeper meaning for the audience to decode. The primary purpose of production design is to create a mood, articulate themes, and eternalizes the state of a character. The major responsibilities of a production designer include identifying a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes. video link: https://youtu.be/wNXNEs2eBkg
