Hi guys! If you are a true fan of my blog, you definitely know that there have been some major changes in my group! So, today I'll do a quick summary of EVERYTHING new! This is like four blog posts in one. Get ready, it's a long one...

Main character analysis
Guess who plays the main character for yet another film opener...YA GIRL! As we know, I was meant for the screen, so yes indeed I was chosen to be the main character for our last project idea AND this one😌. Just kidding! My alter ego name is Vale, a Colombian migrant who has a bit of trauma from the immigration. Whatever you do, don't call ICE on her! However, because of all the issues she had coming to America, she strives to be the best student and person possible! Vale knows that she must make her family proud so she is a perfectionist, uptight at all times, loves to sing and read, and WILL become a politician when she's older!
Here is a pic of THE beautiful Vale😍
Supporting characters
Let's start with Leah, aka Maria! Maria is the goodie good gyal of the group, with a fun, calm personality. She has an old soul and ONLY listens to songs from the 90s. She is a great influence and is the one that somewhat keeps the girls out of trouble most of the time. Maria would definitely be considered the mom of the group. Her goal in life is to become an architect given that she's extremely artistic!
Next we have Miss Nay Nay, aka Yve! Yve is definitely the one who starts the trouble in the group. Yes, that same trouble that Maria tries to get them away from... She is a bad influence on the girls and finds escape in rebellion. Yve is usually the one asking to make plans with the girls as her home life is complete chaos, coinciding with her personality. She always says that she's just going to FSU because it's a party school, but in reality, she has a deep love for psychology and finding out why people are the way they are.
Finally, we have Phi Phi Le, aka Eli! Eli is the shy, reserved one in the group, who is closest to Yve because Yve KNOWS she can get her out of her shell. Since she was bullied when she was younger, Vale, Maria, and Yve are her only friends...(but at least they're good ones!) Still, she is the kindest, sweetest person you'll EVER meet once you get to know her😊! She is also one of the smartest in the group, alongside Vale. Her main goal is to study dermatology at UF. Eli doesn't get much of a say in things since she's so quiet, so she often just goes with the group's flow.
Costuming
As for costuming, we didn't have a strict dress code just: Casual summer clothes for the flashback scenes. For example in the car ride scene, we are all wearing cropped tanks or tube tops with shorts which represent our carelessness for elegance. As for the current scenes of us leaving for university, our costuming will consist of UF, FSU, USF, and UCF shirts. This will help represent that we are all going our separate ways to different schools and lives.
Coloring in the project
Our film consists of many flashbacks and cuts to the present time, so to represent each of these cuts (as they will be random and back and forward) we decided to use some of our color skills! Our flashback scenes will be shown with yellow-orange hues that represent the summer's free feeling and no worries, just fun. During the editing, we plan to add some saturation to these scenes but we also plan to get that natural glow by filming at golden hour (around 5:30 PM). In contrast, our flashforward scenes will most likely not have any editing done to them, to evoke a bland, sad mood. There will be mostly white, industrial hues.
