A-level Research post #3

 We've made it to our last 2 research posts, enjoy! 


(Victoria Beckham, 2023)

"Victoria Beckham", released in 2025 on Netflix shows Victoria Beckham's long way to fame (Victoria Beckham, 2025). This documentary series highlights her long journey from being a Spice Girl, a popular girl group in 1990s, best known for there catchy tunes and beats to being fashion designer (Victoria Beckham, 2025). She also balances her personal life with being a mother and wife. Netflix showcases her life through a 3-episode sequel and shows the good, the bad and dramatic events through her life (Netflix, 2023).

When reviewing the Victoria Beckham documentary, I really enjoyed the aspects of the roll footage and voiceovers to capture the concept of her life (Netflix, 2023). It shows how long she’s been within the media industry and where she is now (Netflix, 2023).  To show this, we see magazines and video footage from past events dated back all the way when she was a kid (Netflix, 2023). Overall, these technical elements came together to create an overall good documentary. 

 (The Nacelle Company, 2017)

"The Toys That Made Us", released from 2017-2026 on Netflix showed how toys shaped society (The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019). This Netflix documentary series specifically highlights, the incredible minds behind some of  the most memorable and iconic toys that people know today (The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019). These include specific toy franchises and it commonly discusses some Positive and negative things that happened during the toy industry(The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019).

On a technical note, I really like how it starts off showing multiple different logos And recognizable toys to capture and entertain the audience (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.02). I really liked how the subjects are placed and interviewed in the back of a room where there’s various  amount of toys and a variety of different types of toys (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.03). For example you have Legos, Barbies and transformers, etc (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.05).Another important aspect that I really liked is that they use historical b-roll footage to provide context and clarity. Lastly, I really liked how there was a variety of subjects interviewed to provide a varied perspective.

Blog Posting- Sound

  Blog Posting Sound Project 10/10/24  Project Link: soundscape_HernandezLee_Per7 In class we learned about the use of sound and how it is so important with film. Many film genres for example, like horror, would not give you the same feeling without the use of sound. We took notes in class about sound illusion, diegetic, non-diegetic and voiceover sounds and many more. We went in depth about the use of foley art. Foley is a type of sound that is in sync with a picture or video.    We were asked to create a 1–2-minute video of sound that we would have to edit, and layer with multiple sounds with the help of websites that were provided to us. We also had to incorporate 4 foley sounds of our own and document them into a separate file. No video is allowed.    My partner and I had an initial idea of a completely different story, and we decided to switch it up. We searched for sounds that would make the most sense and sound realistic. Once we produced a new s...

Production Post- obstacles February 25th, 2025

February 25th , 2025 For this week's blogging, one of the tasks we were asked to complete is to create 3   production posts of our c hoice. I have decided to create this post about some obstacles that I face during my planning process of my portfolio project. I feel as if it is important to incorporate some obstacles to create a sense of realism when creating a film.   So, one of the obstacles I have faced is the location of my film opening. In my script , one of the locations I was supposed to film at which is the *home garage* I am not able to film there because of the extensive time it would take my actors to change locations, I had previously planned to shoot on separate days to give myself more time but an unexpected change occurred. How do I plan to fix that issue you may ask? Well first I want to shoot everything on the same day, so I have the footage and get to editing as soon as possible. I will also have to al ter the script to best suit my actors. ...
