Our next project was to create an entire story based on a one-line description of a character our AICE media teacher provided us. My group's goal was to have our audience have a full grasp of what our character was truly like. Including her personality, likes and dislikes, and her hobbies.
Our character was a former Hispanic jazz singer who lives in a penthouse in New York City, loves to cook, and tells stories to her neighbors. Throughout the members of the group, we all distributed different types of things we believe Josefina, a character name, would like. I created a playlist of different types of music Josefina would listen to daily. For example, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Selena, and Romeo Santos.
On presentation day, we were allowed 4 computers for the different types of pieces, where each character can be seen. On my computer, I put the soundtrack and a light description of how Josefina would listen to this type of genre of music. My group developed Josefina by using our imagination and figuring out how this one-line description of a character would truly live their life. For instance, another group member and I decided to bring in items that Josefina would have. My prop that I brought in for her was an Etta James record album. The group member brought a dulce de leche snack. Throughout our character mood board, we used warm hues with high-key lighting to create what her typical mood would be. In our description and storyline, we tried to make it as realistic as possible. We created her background story, how she became a singer, and how she is the person she is today.
Overall, my group process when creating this project was challenging in some parts due to everyone having different opinions on how Josefina should live. But with how Josefina ended up, I am proud of what my group has come up with in the time that we had.
