Final Project Composition



     My grandma has a nickname for everyone of her six grandchildren. My one cousin is called monkey, and my sister is called babycakes. The nickname she gave to me was girly girl. I was never fully sure why she called me that until I did this project. I originally thought it was because I just liked to shop, but after doing this, I'm starting to think otherwise. I could be the posture child for girly girls if I only would of added Starbucks and my Marc Jacobs watch into the video.
I started my video off with showing clothes and explaining how I feel that clothes help me express what I'm feeling and how I am, without having to actually speak. Then I go on to explain my shoe picture. I took a picture of shoes because I am the girl who has a million pair of shoes (I wish at least). I actually only have around 60 pairs, but still my room is just covered with shoes and I never wear the same shoes twice in one week. Next is a picture of my cousins lips. I mainly took this because I feel like makeup is an important part of my life. I wear it everyday and not because I feel the need to or that I want to become "another person", but because it makes me feel more confident. And what is better then being happy and confident? Absolutely nothing. After this there is a picture of three phones. I took this with the intentions of showing how I use my phone. I don't text that often as most teenagers, but I do have a million of notes on my phone. I have ideas of story lines and I've got poems, and even clothing ideas to try out. Another picture I took was a picture of flowers, and it's a simple reason for this one really, I just really like them and I like to think of them as my good luck charm. The next one is of my sister while we were playing. My sister and I are best friends and I thought it would be good to show how important she was to me by putting her in here. After this I have taken a picture of this jar I have that I decorated to say 'Europe', and it says this because all the change I put into the jar, I hope I can use in Europe for whenever I make my dream of going there true. I love to doodle and draw pictures of clothes and what type of designs I would like to make and I put them in a journal. That's why the picture of the clothes in the journal are there. To follow up that one, there is a picture of my glasses that are framing a college in my room. I have that because it shows how the glasses frame my world and without them everything would be blurry. Finishing up the video, I have a picture of what you see when you drive off of the mountain I live on, and it's the view that I'll have in the back of mind. Nothing can beat it because it always reminds me of home.
