Senior Pitch Critique

Maybe I was unclear about certain aspects of my Senior Show pitch, during class last Thursday. Below I have posted a few production package items: Storyboards, Script Analysis, Characters, etc. This production is very personal and my goal is to inform people of how I use the Holy Bible to navigate through life. And yes, this college experience has played an important part in my life. My target audience is EVERYBODY. This film is for all people (Elders, Christians, Children, Atheist, Teens, etc.) to hopefully get something from it, whether it be a negative or positive response. Dependent upon the viewer, it will be interpreted several ways. I chose Barbie's to film because I knew I could illustrate my concept accurately using human characteristics, and I would be in control of MY camera. Hopefully, this post will clear up any misunderstandings about my IDEA! Leave comments PLEASE!!

Senior Show Storyboards

Senior Show Script

Tiffani Waire
Analysis of Script

Main Characters:
Tiffani Waire...a 21 year old female who reminisces on her college experience. Through this journey, she had used scripture from the Holy Bible during rough times, whether it be a certain situation, emotion, or decision. She has found these scriptures to be encouraging in overcoming personal obstacles. Will she be able to apply these lessons learned in her life and others?

Janet Waire...Tiffani’s mom, a 47 year old wife, who resides in Columbia, TN with Tiffani's father and brother. Janet is a God fearing woman who instilled religion into Tiffani at a very young age. She always speaks encouraging words because she is a firm believer of the gospel.

Timothy Waire..Tiffani’s Dad, a 48-year-old husband. He is very quiet man, with a meek spirit.

Brannan Denney...Brannan, 21, is an associate of Tiffani’s. Although they only speak in passing, Brannan waits patiently until Tiffani’s class ends to discuss a very important matter. He knows that she can possibly help him resolve this situation positively.

Quentin Armstrong...Tiffani’s friend, a 22 year old male who aspires to be a
minister of the Gospel one day. He communicates with her via email and they
discuss her financial problems.

Scriptures:
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
Isaiah 41:10 “Do not fear, nor be dismayed. For I am with you, I will strengthen and help you, upholding you with my righteous hand.
1 Peter 4:7 “The end of things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-control so that you can pray.”
Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory.”

Janet Hello Darling,
Tiffani Hey,
Janet what you doing?
Tiffani Nothing, up here at this school (sighs)
Janet Ohh, (pause) what’s wrong?
Tiffani Nothing
Janet Yes it is, I can hear it in your voice.
Tiffani Im (pause). I cant to this no more.
Janet Do What?
Tiffani This, this whole college thing. I can’t do this stuff on these computers and I have homework due tomorrow. I been up here all weekend tryna figure it out and I still cant.
Janet Is it particular software?
Tiffani Yeah, Photoshop. They didn’t teach us nothing in
high school. We had all those Apple Computers and never learned nothing.
Janet Well..
Tiffani All these kids know this stuff, even the freshman. I
might just have to drop this class.
Janet Tiffani, calm down. Take some deep breaths
Tiffani I been tryna calm down, and it aint helping.
Janet Tiffani, you can do this. What’s your favorite bible
verse
Tiffani What??
Janet what’s your favorite bible verse
Janet “I can do all things
Tiffani through Christ who strengthens me”
Janet have you been reading your bible???
Tiffani No, I spend all my time doing this stuff
Janet Pray Tiffani, pray.
Pray that God gives you an open mind to receive the information so you can be able
to complete your work. You can do It, I know you can. Have you tried talking to your
instructor?
Tiffani Nah
Janet Well, do that and see if maybe they can help you outside of class. It may take yall having a one on one conversation about the software. Maybe they can suggest you to buy a txt book explaining the information. You are just learning the information sweetie, and you are not going to master it overnight. Just calm down, take a break from it, talk to your teacher tomorrow and see what happens; because you can’t get anything accomplished when you are frustrated. Okay
Tiffani Alright
Janet You gotta start reading your devotional bible, honey. Remember Isaiah 41:10 says,
“Do not fear, nor be dismayed. For I am with you, I will strengthen and help you,
upholding you with my righteous hand.” But you’ve got to keep a clear mind Tiffani.

Scene 3 (Outside: Brannan sits on MCA lawn, Tiffani walks up)

Tiffani Brannan
Brannan Hey....
Tiffani What wrong?
Brannan Everything’s wrong. Life a mess right now. I have tried to end it all twice.
Tiffani What??
Brannan Yeah...I took pills and tried hanging myself
Tiffani Whoa…Come on. Lets take a walk.
(they began walking)
Brannan My girlfriend left me because she found out about a girl I been talking to here in
Memphis. I love them both. I don’t want to lose either of them. (pause)
Then I have been having problems with my roommates, who I thought were my best
friends....
Tiffani Well, you know u was wrong because you got yourself in the situation with the girls.
They are hurting as much as you...So killing yourself would accomplish what. And
you and your friends (they sit) are not going to always agree on everything. Before u
make choices, you should think of those you love and how they will be affected by
your decision. And you tried 2 times. God has a purpose for you and he aint gone
take you til its your time.
Brannan Well, I mean. What should I do then. I figured ending it all would be best for me to
keep my sanity.
Tiffani U gotta start praying when when times get rough Brannan. 1 Peter, chapter 4, verse 7 says “When things seem near the end, Be clear minded and in self control so that you can pray.”
Brannan So by praying about a situation, I mean what good is that gonna do.
Tiffani A lot, its going to allow you the opportunity to get a relationship with God, so that he can help to direct your path. He was not ready for you, that’s why me and you are having this discussion now. I mean what happen that you decided to walk school.
Brannan (reminisces) It was strange, I heard these birds chirping outside. So I went outside
and observed nature. I thought about how beautiful everything was—How beautiful
life is, So I decided to take a walk and think about my life. And this is where I ended
up at. on the schools lawn. (excited) Hey!!! Maybe you were my guarding angel!
Tiffani Maybe, I was just glad I could help you. U cant be dying on us, Mane. In life we all are going to have ups and downs. It’s just knowing how to deal with it.
Brannan Yeah, maybe I just need somebody to talk to. Somebody that would encourage me
positively. Most people would have wanted me to forget about it by doing drugs or
drinking.... But you..Nah..Your different, you made me confront my problems and
deal with them.
Tiffani Yeah, so are you ok now..
Brannan Yeah
Tiffani Okay...I love ya Brannan and so do your friends and even those girls. I just don’t want
to see anything bad happen to ya.
Brannan Okay..Thanks Tiffani. (they hug)

Beautiful Hygenie Rough Edit

I did not realize this film would be 10 minutes long. The audio was recorded in Quicktime Pro. My first edit was 15 mins long, in which I arranged each scene. Then, in my second edit I added the audio track which cut the time to 10mins. The overall look is nice, but I need to clean up my small screens and also some of the audio.

Beautiful Hygenie Shoot

I began shooting on Friday evening at 4:30pm until 10pm. I felt like model as the shower water pounding against my chest, not to mention my bathroom floor was flooded afterwards. Next was the Bubble Bath scene, which went quite smoothly. The Mulberry Spice scent smelled awesome, however the bubbles only lasted for about 30mins. I applied the Body Butter and Spray Mist to my body, which gave me shimmerer, shiney skin. The Nair process took about 20mins. It smell awful, but my legs felt silky smooth. By then I waz exhausted and my fingers and toes had wrinkles (from the water). So Saturday evening, I finished by using the foot works and facial cleanser products. I enjoyed doing this production, although I was tired by the end of the day. My next steps include: Digitizing, Editing, & the Voice Over...

Beautiful Hygiene Script
February 6, 2007

Scene 1: (Shower Water)

Hygiene is a very essential routine in daily living.... Uh or is it?
I have decided to embark or this idea of beautiful hygiene. To see if using extra body products will make me feel any different from the ordinary. I predict that each item will have a different effect on me, if I do as instructed on the product label. So Am I getting my money worth, am I feeling the way it describes, does it accomplish the goal at hand.

Scene 2: (Legs)
Nair, Cocoa Butter Formula: For smooth radiant skin. Squeezed lotion into palm of hand. Smooth on a thick even layer to cover hair. DO NOT RUB IN (wash hands immediatly after application). Leave lotion on for 3 minute. To Remove lotion and hair Damp a washcloth. Gently wipe off lotion with a damp washcloth. Rinse skin thoroughly with lukewarm water in shower. Pat Dry


Scene 3: (Body)
Avon Bain Mousse Bubble Bath; Mulberry Spice: Pour 1 to 2 capfuls under running water. Sparkling mulberry blended with a touch of spice makes a rich and zesty bath experience. Feel the bubbles cleanse and scent your skin and never leave a bathtub ring. For adult use ONLY.

Scene 4: (Body)
White-Vanilla Tea Spray Mist: Comforting vanilla and nurturing white tea promote a soothing, blissful state. Softens and lightly fragrances skin. Spray 3 inches away for body.
White Tea-Vanilla Body Butter: Explore the silky route with this aromabotanical moisturizer created with antioxidant white tea and creamy vanilla. Veil skin in sumblime softness. Usage: Smooth on. Feel elated.




Scene 5: (Feet) Berry Mint, pampering foot care with mix of berry extracts: RUN a gallon of lukewarm water in a small tub.
Soak: Pour foot soak into tub of warm water. Soak feet. Rinse feet off and Towel Dry.
Scrub: Apply to feet with special attention to hard or callused areas. Gently rub onto feet. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Cream: Massage onto feet. Reapply as needed.


Scene 6:
(Face) Clean and Clear:
Cleanser: Mix facial cleanser and water into my hands. Softly work this mixture into foam lather. Smoothed it onto face and neck gently. After 2 mins of contact with face, rinse it off thoroughly.
Astringer: Moistened a cotton ball with astringent and stroked over face and neck, repeatedly.
Mositurizer: Use daily after cleansing for moisturized skin. Apply a small amount of Moisturizing lotion to entire face and neck.

Scene 7: (Putting Products Back In Place)
I found that using the products made me feel more complete and feminine at times. Like a girly girl!! I actually loved the foot works product and my feet feel really GOOD, it worked! But, how many times out of ten, am I going to do that again. I must say the bubble bath was very soothing and relaxing, due to the sweet aroma that flowed through the air. The moisture milk made a lasting impression on me as well. The fragence and feel was all I expected_______. However, the dry mist oil only lasted for about 5 mins, so yes this was money wasted. But, on a brighter note, my legs feel silky smooth. The Nair worked, the new cocoa butter formula was excellent because Nair--- years past--- has been very FUNKY. And my face feels refreshed! Like its time to start a new day. So in concluding, was it worth the money and time spent? 5 minus 1, I’d say Yeah! Guess I was proving wrong because, I predicted the ending result to be half/half. But am I going to have the drive to continue these rituals? Proberly not, because this are not things that interest me a lot. So in saying that, I guess hygiene is left up to the individual person. Hygenie is very important to me. WHAT ABOUT YOU??

Beautiful Hygiene

Hygiene is a very essential routine in daily living. In the United States, Americans tend to pamper themselves, going beyond required hygiene behaviors. This film concentrations on 3 areas of the body: face, feet, and legs. It is a step by step approach to capturing the use of skin and body products that aids in the soothing and relaxation of oneself.

Experimental Film

While slowly approaching the sink I mixed the facial cleanser and water into my hands. I softly worked this mixture into a foam lather and smoothed it onto my face and neck gently. After about 2 mins of contact with my face, I rinse it off throughly.Next, I moistened a cotton ball with astringent and stroked over my face and neck, repeatedly. Apply a small amout to entire face and neck.

Legs...Squeeze lotion into palm of hand. Smooth on thick, even layer to cover hair (wash hands immediate after application). Leave lotion on for 3 minute. Gently wipe off lotion with a damp washcloth. Rinse skin throughly with lukewarm water in shower. Pat Dry

Feet...soak-Pour foot soak into a gallon of warm water. Soak feet. Rinse feet and Towel Dry.//scrub-Apply to feet with special attention to hard or callused areas. Gently rub onto feet. Rinse throughly with warm water.// cream-Massage on feet. Reapply as needed.

the Cooking Kitchen

A kitchen is a very warm, inviting environment while preparing food for consumption. With many things going on at once, it actively containing all 5 senses: smell, sight, taste, touch, and sound. Somewhat instructional based, my video will focus on all 5 senses. Preparing a meal: Italian chicken, mac and cheese, stewed potatoes, green beans, cornbread, and chocolate pie.

Experimental/Food

chicken-Preheat oven 350. Fill a bowl with cold salt water. Gently, rinse chicken in cold water. Place chicken into salt water for 30 minutes. Once out of salt water, rerinse and season. Place seasoned chicken in pan and pour Italian dressing over. Let bake for 1hr.
Fill a pot with water and place on stove to boil. Put 1 ham hock and sliced butter into boiling water. Pour can of green beans into water. Let boil until water had evporated.

I-40

As I have done these past 3 years, this weekend I went to my hometown in Columbia, TN. I take Interstate 40 East toward Nashville and it is a 3-hour drive. During that 3-hour drive, I turn up the music and jam..(dance, sing, road rage, fart, talk to myself, etc). I become a totally different person in this comfort zone all by myself, it's amazing. SO...maybe re-enacting this scene.

Get in car (rushing). Start up car, turn radio volume up, check cell phone for time, and put seat belt on. Begin driving.. search radio stations, then make a phone call to mom (60sec conversation). Grab cds from console and search through. Insert 6 cds into cd changer. Begin dancing and singing to each song that is played (if needed, skip tracks). Occasionally check cell phone, drink soda, and eat candy.

Place IdeaZ

My place video is about a Sense of Place. What is place?? Well, place is detected by several components which is discussed in my mini film. I printed off my ideas about place: definitions, quotes, etc; and created an amateur slide show using a cheesy filter. My overall goal was for this film to be viewed as a silent, instructional video, using text, rather than action. Although not completely silent, the page turning is quite obvious and absurd at times.

Sense of Place

The word place is a particular Location at a particular Time.

Whether it be a Physical, Emotional, or Psychological PLACE.

I detect these notions my using 5 senses: Sight, Touch, Smell, Hear, & Taste.

Place can be asso by identity (gender, cultural, age, generational, etc)

Dictionary "Place"

Noun.....a: physical environment : space b: a way for admission or transit c: physical surroundings : atmosphere...
location

Verb,.... a: to put in or as if in a particular place or position : set b: to present for consideration placed before the group> c: to put in a particular state <place a performer under contract> d: to direct to a desired spot e: to cause (the voice) to produce free and well resonated singing or speaking tones
