Monday to friday

As I told you in the last post, I had a very exciting week! I wanted to tell you something about my experience this week.

From now on we start to work in crews, beginning with filmweek, in which we had to make a movie in one week so we can get familiar with all the aspects of filming. We all have another function in the crew. Eva is the creative producer, Anneke is the producer, Maurits is the director of photography, Sascha the art-director and I am the director.

On monday we started off to pitch two ideas for the short film. As I am the director, I wrote the scenario for the one we choose. On tuesday we had to make our decoupage. That means, we had to write down every shot of every scene. I did that with the director of photography. Wednesday was a day for the art-directors and producers. They had to make moodboards, arrange places and we needed two actors. We also went to the location where we would shoot the next day to take a look. Thursday was shooting day. We started at 08:30 a.m. and finished shooting at 05:00 p.m. We had to go to AMFI real quickly to capture the movie, what in the end took us 1,5 hour. We edit till 0:00 a.m. and started again today at 08:00 a.m. Today we watched all the movies. I think we all did an amazing job!

You can understand that I am quit tired right now! Here are some pictures of yesterday.


I had to tell the actors (friends of ours) what they needed to do.

Scene 11, Shot 36, Take 4....

Yes.. it was also a lot of fun!

Cameraman Maurits and creative producer Eva

And now ofcourse, our short movie! I hope you like it, it was our first film experience so we had some problems. One of them was light but watch the film and you will see!



I am very curious what you think about it!

Beside all this some other nice things happened! I received an email from Maria. She is the author of one of my favourite blogs: Lulu Letty. She asked me if I wanted to be featured as blogger of the week! Ofcourse I did!

Have a great weekend!

I like my money right where I can see it.. hanging in my closet

It has been a while that I talked about my minor. So far so good, I passed my assesment! Next week is filmweek in wich we have to make a short movie. We work in teams of four and I'm in a team with Anneke (art director), Eva (creative producer) and Maurits (director of photography). My function is director but I guess all the positions kind of overlap each other as we make almost everything together. On monday, I have to pitch two synopsises of stories we want to film. Very exciting! I went to Anneke today to make the moodboards but they are not finished yet.

I also want to say that I am working on a new blog! Have to figure out how wordpress exactly works but I already like it so far! Keep you posted.




I should wear this Dahlia playsuit more often...


A page of my personal book!

What happened here?

I think I just lost my upperbody...

Plastic Fantastic

Today I had to check my sequence and I could get a pass or a fail... and I passed! I was so happy about it! I didn't feel really confident about it. Although there isn't much time to relax because we have to start on our storybook and personal book, what we have to deliver in one month, I did relaxed this evening. Sat on the couch and watched CSI Miami. Enough of the talking, I will show you my pictures! They are a bit different than my other work, but it was a challenge to do something different.

This is the story: The main character is the woman. She feels really confident and sexy about herself. Outside beauty is everything to her. She wants to stay young forever. When people are looking at her, she thinks it is because they think she's gorgeous. In fact, they just think that there is something wrong with her and that she looks like a huge clown.

The picture of the little ponies is to give you the 'heh something's wrong here' feeling. Cute girls with bows in their hair don't play like this with little ponies, they should make braids or something like that.

The feets are even more of that feeling, even a little morbid. Which I think plastical churgery is. To let someone cut in you other then necessary, is for me not a good thing to do. I made this photograph with the little story: you have waited so long for your shoes to arrive and here they are! On the box is a note wich says that there is an extra gift attached. That's nice! What would it be... maybe... a pair of legs?

Blablabla here are the photos!

Emotion poster

This is the poster I made for the Emotion poster assignment! I think the endresult is pretty nice, but I definitely have some improvements. I love to hear what you think about it! Which emotion do you get from each picture (the upperleft double picture can be count as one) and where do you think improvement is needed?



(I passed this assignment at school!)

Fashion fascination

I picked my fascination! So I don't really have a fascination for something, more a lot of interest. But I do have a huge love for ballet. I dance since I'm a little girl, first classical but now modern dance, so I thought I could do something with that. I ended up with ribbons, what became my 'fascination'.



We have to make an 'Emotion poster' of our fascination. So I search on the internet for some inspiration and made some testphoto's this morning. They told me at school that I had to let go of the sweet, romantic ballet world and look beyond it. It's kind of hard for me but I'll try. I hope they like my things tomorrow...

Here are some testphotos I took this morning

Final picture

Today was the last day of Photoweek, the start of the minor (Visual Culture) I'm following. There was an exposition with all the end photo's we made. The pictures are at AMFI till next week. I think all the pictures are gorgeous! More pictures from the shoot and this week are coming up.


Some of the pictures. There were 40 in total (group of 40 students)


You can see my picture (second from left, first row)


Blurry close up


This is my picture! The theme for this shoot was 'anger'. She is mad because of something in the past. She wants to get over this anger and make peace with the past.

Today's look

That's not totally true. This is my outfit since 4 o'clock this afternoon. I received my Dahlia paysuit today! Ofcourse, I had to try it on immediately. I think it fits quite nice but I wouldn't mind a little more space at my bum haha.

I'm having an exhausting week. Studying at Amsterdam Fashion Institute is a lot more intensive than studying Interactive Media. I'm at school from 9 to 6 and in the evening I have a lot of homework. We had to do a photoshoot today (my first one!) and it was pretty hectic. We had to do it in the morning because we got our feedback in the afternoon (that also means no time for photoshop so the pictures had to be very nice!). Thanks a lot to my friend Linda who could come in such short notice. I think we made a nice shoot. It had to be innovative and my feedback was that I did it to literally. Have to learn a lot!

Pictures of the shoot are coming soon. (first photo are the clothes I used for the shoot) First my new playsuit. I wear it with my new, simple black flats.
