Media Studies Portfolio : To Be Continued

On the storyboard, there will be use of a high angle shot that portrays the

opening credits on the articles of clothing for two to five seconds so that the

audience members can clearly see the names of the actors, directors, and

producers. In the next scene, when Margo is holding the clothing (and about to

put the clothes away), the words on the clothing will not be present and appear as

normal pants. As a group, we like this artistic approach because we believe it will

capture the audience’s attention. We are planning to make two to three shots like

this.

For the names on the clothes, we could stitch the words onto the clothing (shirt,

pants, etc.) or use fabric markers to write the names on the clothing. Although the

stitching would be aesthetically pleasing and intriguing, it takes a long time to

complete, considering that none of us know how to stitch, and is expensive to purchase

all the material (yarn, needle, and/or kit). However, since it is only two to three clothing

items, we could try stitching at least one piece of clothing, and if it still proves to be too

difficult, then we will use fabric markers for the rest.

The fabric markers can be purchased cheaply from Amazon. Since we want two

copies of each article of clothing (one with the credit name and one without), we can

easily purchase identical articles of clothing cheaply from Goodwill.
