Scene Outline
Black back drop or white back drop??
I will have another session with my model this Wednesday Feb 17. We have set up a schedule to meet every two weeks.
1.) I will ask her to undress for me.
I will take full body shots and close ups as she she takes her clothes off.
2.) I will need some frontal view full body shots
3.) Some three quarter close ups
Also, I will shoot some footage over the weekend at night from outside. Jenny Seville's paintings were a huge inspiration for this paiting series. She paints models pressed up against glass so that the skin looks stretched and smeared.
1.) I will have the model pressed up against the window and shoot from the outside in. WIth good lighting set up ofcourse.
2.) I will ask her to strip and film once from the front and once from behind
3.) She will press up against the wimdow and make facial expressions and different gestures.
4.) She will then pound on the window with her fists so that it looks as if she is trying to find a way to get outside.

Lists-talking about what it is you do
Like any writer, there are rituals that are a part of Didion's creative thought process. At the end of the day, Didion must take a break from writing to remove herself from the "pages."[12] She feels closeness to her work; without a necessary break, she cannot make proper adjustments.-Joan Didion on ritual
"I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I don't understand the term or the baggage it takes along with it. I'd feel like I really have to go back and study its history to associate myself with it, and I don't feel the need to do that. I'd much rather just get on and do things the way I have been doing them... I think I'd find it quite patronising to be called a Riot Grrrl if I was one of them, but they obviously don't think so."[5] More recently she told Bust: "I don’t ever think about [feminism]. I mean, it doesn't cross my mind. I certainly don’t think in terms of gender when I'm writing songs, and I never had any problems as the result of being female that I couldn't get over. Maybe I'm not thankful for the things that have gone before me, you know. But I don't see that there's any need to be aware of being a woman in this business. It just seems a waste of time." She added, "I don't offer [support] specifically to women; I offer it to people who write music. That's a lot of men."- PJH on feminism
"it's that combination of being quite elegant and funny and revolting, all at the same time, that appeals to me. I actually find wearing make-up like that, sort of smeared around, as extremely beautiful. Maybe that’s just my twisted sense of beauty."[8] However, she later told Dazed & Confused magazine, "That was kind of a mask. It was much more of a mask than I’ve ever had. I was very lost as a person, at that point. I had no sense of self left at all", and has never again repeated the overt theatricality of the To Bring You My Love tour. _PJH on sense of self
"I was brought up listening to John Lee Hooker, to Howlin' Wolf, to Robert Johnson, and a lot of Jimi Hendrix and Captain Beefheart. So I was exposed to all these very compassionate musicians at a very young age, and that's always remained in me and seems to surface more as I get older. I think the way we are as we get older is a result of what we knew when we were children."-PJM on inspiration

Follow up on Career Services
I am currently debating on whether or not to do an artist residency program or a studio program. The difference is that most artist residencies are awarded with a fellowship and/or stipend to young artists and are given housing, meals, and sometimes cover materials. Studio programs generally do not award monetary assistance unless it is through undergraduate courses. I was told to consider going to a top artist residency even if I have to pay for it because it would pay off when I applied for grad schools, in other words it would show that I was ambitious and persistant enough to want to pursue a residency program that may have seemed out of reach on my own. Also, in the mean time while I apply to these, I also am considering applying for the Dean's Council Residency here at MCA because it gives you access to the school and all the work spaces, and it also gives you means to your own studio in the graduate center for one semester.
Residencies, Internships, Studio Programs
