Palavras soltas que aborrecem

 Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

GENTE DO CEUUUUUUUUUUUU

today we had our first group meetings, where we sat with people/groups  from our media class we we chated about our ideas.

I was a bit nervous at first especially because I had been feeling like I was falling behind. I saw so many people who had their scripts fully written and I am still not sure about my plot. After today's meeting I realised I am not the only one who's still planning.

As I talked with my group today I had a great idea of how I will visually structure my opening, how I will edit it. I want to incorporate close up images like the ones from the intro of MALHAÇÃO VIVA A DIFERENÇA, in a montage style.

Esperança depois de um prece

 GUYSSSSSSSSSSS, I DID ITTTT

I just sent an email to Karol Conká, the artist who sings the song that tittles all of my posts. 

I want to use this song on my opening, so I emailed her requesting the rights of the song for my project. 

Here is the translation of the text!

“ Hello Karol, how are you?

My name is Maria Eduarda, I am a media student at a high school in the United States. I'm getting in touch because I'm working on a project for my final exam, where I need to create the opening of a film. I would like to use your song "Bate a Poeira" for this project. The series "Malhação - Viva a Diferença" was a great inspiration for me when developing this work.

During the production of this project, I have been sharing the entire process on a blog. (https://du04.blogspot.com) This way, when the work is submitted for evaluation at Cambridge, teachers will be able to follow the development of my project step by step. To use copyrighted music, you must obtain formal authorization from the artist.

I would therefore like to formally request your authorization to use your song "Bate a Poeira" as part of this project. If you agree, please reply to this email confirming your authorization to use the music. I will be responsible for including the appropriate credits and fully respecting your copyright.

Thank you in advance for your attention and I await your response.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Eduarda”

Seja o que tiver que ser

 Happy Saturdayyyyyy

Finally weekend!😁

This  week I have been thinking a lot about my cast, and how I want my project to look visually.

For the cast, I’m still not sure who I want to play each of the girls.👧🏼👧🏽👧🏻 I have a few girls in mind but nothing is confirmed yet.

However, the girls aren’t the only ones on screen. I want to play a lot with mise en scene elements.

I want their rooms and clothing to represent A LOT their cultures., r

Since I’ll only have about 20 secs for each of the girls I want the mise en scen elements around them to talk for them.

Seja o que quiser ser

 HEYYYYYYYYYY,

so I have been confused for the past days about what genre exactly would my project fall under.

I made some research and I feel this project would fall under:

• DRAMA

"drama is a category or genre of narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone."

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This is a Brazilian film about a girl who has dififculties adapting and making friends at her old school. So her family has to move and she joins a new school, where she makes friends who accept her diferenes.

 This show is part of the MALHACÃO series. This show is also about making friends and accepting differences.

BOTH fall under the DRAMA genre, and does MALHAÇÃO VIVA A DIFERENÇA, the show that highly inspired me with this project, also falls under the genere.

Num mundo onde dão mais valor pra aparência...

Tem sua consequência

THE CONSEQUENCE

• 3 GIRLS
• 3 CULTURES.                             
• 1 PLOT
• 1 FRIENDSHIP

The idea for this film is to have 3 different girls( different backgrounds, color and races) who come together because of a happening that forces them to meet and as a consequence they become best friends. 

Since this project is only the opening I want to focus on quickly presenting the girls and within about 20-30 secs show their personality/ cultures. And later have the last 30 secs with all of them together with the purpose of understating we are all the equal no matter how big our differences are.

Um povo com crise de abstinência...

Procura explicação pra existência

(for most of my  blog post I will title them with A quote from a brazilian song "Bate a Poeira-Karol Conká" the theme song from the show that inspires me on the making of this film opening. The song talks about prejudice against different skin colors, races, social differences and cultures.)

I AM LOOKING FOWARD ON HAVING THIS SONG ON MY PROJECT, FOR THAT I AM CURRENTLY RESEARCHING WHO THE SONG RIGHTS BELONG TO, SO THAT I CAN REQUEST THE RIGHT TO USE IT IN MY PROJECT.

 

Bellow are the lyrics.

"The troubled prevail
Os perturbados se prevalecem

While those affected fall ill
Enquanto atingidos adoecem

Loose words that annoy
Palavras soltas que aborrecem

Hope after a prayer
Esperança depois de uma prece
A people with an abstinence crisis
Um povo com crise de abstinência

Look for an explanation for its existence
Procura explicação pra existência

In a world where they value appearance more
Num mundo onde dão mais valor pra aparência

It has its consequences
Tem sua consequência
Black, white, rich, poor
Negro, branco, rico, pobre

The blood is the same color
O sangue é da mesma cor

We're all the same
Somos todos iguais

We feel heat, joy and pain
Sentimos calor, alegria e dor
Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Allah
Krishna, Buda, Jesus, Allah

Speed ​​Black prophesied
Speed Black profetizou

Our God is one
Nosso Deus é um só

Multiple names for the same creator
Vários nomes pro mesmo criador
I don't care about your ethnicity
Pouco me importa sua etnia

Religion, belief, philosophy
Religião, crença, filosofia

Absorbing wisdom
Absorvendo sabedoria

Developing my daily life
Desenvolvendo meu dia-a-dia
In this world few things are certain
Nesse mundo poucas coisas são certas

Love, luck, death, the life you lead
Amor, sorte, morte, a vida que se leva

From south to north, from Asia to America
Do sul para o norte, da Ásia à América

If you make mistakes, it's human, mistakes set you free
Se errar é humano o erro te liberta
Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser

Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser
Hit the dust, hit the dust, hit the dust
Bate a poeira, bate a poeira, bate a poeira

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser

Hit the dust, hit the dust, hit the dust
Bate a poeira, bate a poeira, bate a poeira

Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser
The veiled prejudice
O preconceito velado

It has the same effect, same damage
Tem o mesmo efeito, mesmo estrago

Affected reasoning
Raciocínio afetado

Say one thing and stay on the other side
Falar uma coisa e ficar do outro lado
If time is king, let's wait for the law
Se o tempo é rei, vamo esperar a lei

Everything I've been through, I've never been intimidated
Tudo que já passei, nunca me intimidei

I have suffered, I have won, I have learned, I have taught
Já sofri, já ganhei, aprendi, ensinei

They tried to suffocate me, but I breathed
Tentaram me sufocar, mas eu respirei
There are so many unhappy people
Há tanta gente infeliz

Ashamed of natural beauty
Com vergonha da beleza natural

Just another apprentice
É só mais um aprendiz

That hides behind a virtual life
Que se esconde atrás de uma vida virtual
Fat, black, blonde, whatever
Gorda, preta, loira, o que tiver que ser

Slim, holy, crazy, we are the strength and the power
Magra, santa, doida, somos a força e o poder

Enough, enough, come on, lift your head and see
Basta, chega, bora, levanta a cabeça e vê

Come here, live, feel, whatever you want you can be
Vem cá, viva, sinta, o que quiser você pode ser
In this world few things are certain
Nesse mundo poucas coisas são certas

Love, luck, death, the life you lead
Amor, sorte, morte, a vida que se leva

From south to north, from Asia to America
Do sul para o norte, da Ásia à América

If to err is human, error sets you free
Se errar é humano, o erro te liberta
Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser

Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser
Hit the dust, hit the dust, hit the dust
Bate a poeira, bate a poeira, bate a poeira

Be whatever you want to be
Seja o que quiser ser

Hit the dust, hit the dust, hit the dust
Bate a poeira, bate a poeira, bate a poeira

Whatever it has to be
Seja o que tiver que ser"

THE IDEA HAS COME

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!🥹

I have spent the ENTIRE week trying to think of an idea for this project. And literally 30 seconds ago I had this idea!!!!!!!

HERE IT IS

I am from Brazil, and I LOVE the BRAZILIAN culture and how Brazilians aren’t stereotyped because we have such a wide diversity, everyone looks so different. SOOOOOO… there is this Brazilian show produced by Studios Globo called “Malhação-Viva a Diferença” or in english “Young Hearts - Embrace Diversity (Malhação 2017)” .

This show has highly inspired me through the past days. The idea of developing a story about the connection between different cultures, social classes, and races will be the main point of my opening.

PORTFOLIOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHHH

 After watching many of my friends' portfolio projects... it is finally my turn. Mrs. Stoklosa has just told us all about the project. I AM SCARED. I AM EXCITED. Guess we will be very clos for the next eight weeks.
