Filming Preparations

Hey everyone! I'm so glad this weekend is a long weekend, we are taking advantage of it to film. Today we are filming at the Brickell City Centre right after school. We are extremely grateful that our actress was willing and able to film today because it was hard finding someone who wasn't busy. So Daniela if you are reading this thank you once again! 

Brickell City Centre

The reason we are filming at the Brickell City Centre is because it is a new icon of luxury, fashion and everything high-class here in South Florida. From a variation of high end fashion stores like Giuseppe Zanotti and Ted Baker to fine-dining like Sugar and Le Roy Rene. The architecture is freshly modern and abstract exemplifying opulence.  Our main character is a product of living in a world so luxurious and expensive, so we thought it would be perfect to film in this new mall that represents exactly that. 













Costume Design

Candice Swanepoel

For the costume design we looked at Gossip Girl and models street-style outfits to get inspiration for our main character. Since the main characters in Gossip Girl are of a high socio-economic status we thought it would be perfect to look at. The different models outfits helped to create something trendy and more causal than what the Gossip Girl cast usually wears. We want something that looks nice, but at the same time is trendy and casual. 

Blake Lively 

So, based on our research we have two outfits we are taking with us to see which ones will work better. We are trying to pay attention to the details like a nice watch, purse and big sunglasses. The outfit can be simple, but with nice accessories that exemplify wealth and luxury it aids in achieving our goal. 

If you notice we have a trend of gold going on in our outfit to symbolize wealth and extravagance. Yes, they are very simple, but we don't want to make her seem like a stereotype. Our goal is to make her seem like a real person of her socio-economic status. 


We are very excited to film and meet the new Brickell City Center. Tune in later to see the aftermath of Filming Day 1!
