DIOR: Poison Girl

https://youtu.be/re4icu2NXO8

This is one of my favourite campaigns from Dior and currently my favourite perfume! I would love to make something like this and this kind of stuff is really my ultimate dream. I want to make short works or series for campaigns, tell stories in vignettes.

I love the colours, the electricity of the cinematography, the decadence, the violet motifs, the variety of filtering in shots, the use of shadows and darkness and the fast pace of it.

  • interesting piece that explored escapism and how media can be pushed to portray travel and time
  • very simple idea, something eerie and soothing about it
  • meditative in a way but I felt it evoked some melancholy in me because of the slow but definite progression to new places before you get to know them
  • definitely lonely because the landscapes were vast, empty, without people

Sound Interview – favourite things about RMIT!

Here’s my edit of the Sound exercise this week! It was the most challenging to record and insert isolated sounds around the school. Aside from that, I’m fairly pleased with how it turned out. I think my editing of the dialogue was pretty smooth and the flow of the entire thing was improved by the incidental music. It gives a good little taste of making podcasts and such which I’ve always had a passing interest in.

Art of the Interview: The most helpful thing ever

  • All the tips received from this lecture was so helpful and I’m really taking them to heart. I think I know who I’ll be picking as my subject now. It was good to be reminded of the “talent” and whether we thought our person would come across well. I feel like I suddenly got a clearer picture of the sensibility I required from the interviewee I will be choosing.
  • Learning about biased questions was also another helpful thing that I will definitely be wary of.
  • Learning how to brief the talent was also helpful – letting them know just enough without making them worry or think too much about the upcoming questions. The note about the clothing was also great to be reminded of.
  • The interview manner itself was also very important – nodding in response instead of mms and ahhs is a weirdly very simple but important thing to remember.
