How sweet is the taste of water to your throat when you are thirsty? How sweet is the touch of water to your skin when you are hot or dry? How sweet is the smell of fresh flowers? Or how sweet are flowers given to a loved one?
And how sweet is this?! I'm not one to publicly be a romantic but I couldn't resist and I guess this is not necessarily public and I ain't sharing this sight with no one but Britos pretty much. Any who, Alex and I went to grab some poke from Alex's recommendation to Ahi and Vegetable (where you get a HPU deal on a meal purchase) and she pointed this out to me! The lovely flower shop downstairs next to all our classes had this bucket of rose water and rose petals! Do you not love little sweet things?! Green Screen but black. Here we have Lucie in front of the camera as our model as we set up gear. The set up was for interviews on our short story presentations. I personally was not ready for this one, it really threw me on the spot when I has to present.
We had Gabriella holding down... or should I say up sound. I believe that's Alex or Izzy's hand swinging by as I took this iPhone candid snap. Jack worked with Cody in lighting. Just a usual day in one of Britos' classes. Photoshoot in class and Clayton had the idea of brick. So to the hallway we went. Leah's workin it and look at all dem blondes doe. #internationalhpu
Geez, what is twitter even. I made one just like I made this website. Just for class, even called the twitter the same thing: Schorr Cinematic (https://twitter.com/SchorrCinematic). I do not even fully understand or get twitter but I've been trying to keep posting for whatever that is supposed to accomplish. I guess the more hash tags the better? Haha
MC 3120 Interview
2pm September 20th, 2017 Interviewer: Shianne Interviewee: Leah Interviewer Hi! Interviewee Hello. Interviewer So tell me your name, where are you from? Interviewee My name is Amileah, but a lot of my friends do call me Leah. A lot of the reasoning is because I am Hawaiian and Italian. Mixing those two cultures together and naming me meant mixing those two things together and to make it a little easier I let some people call me Leah instead. I am from the city of Portland Oregon and I went to school in Oregon first. I traveled both state to state between Washington and Oregon most of my life. I really loved Portland a lot and it was hard to move but I love O’ahu even more. Interviewer Do you resonate strongly with your culture in Portland or do you resonate more strongly with your actual culture and blood such as experiencing this here in O’ahu. Interviewee I would say… Just growing up I have realized that I have qualities and characteristics within both. I would say just as I’ve grown up I truly was an independent teenager so I was more lenient in making my own career decisions, college decisions, and things like that. I actually began my diet of vegetarianism back before I even moved to O’ahu because that’s a huge culture in Portland, the vegan culture. So once I moved to O’ahu I was actually exposed to more opportunities to hang out in nature, like going to the beach and into the mountains, doing hikes. So that actually made me feel more connected to the land and the earth, being able to explore myself in nature. So I could say that I could take a lot of benefits from both cultures and apply them directly into my life now. Interviewer How has your experience with this culture been with you studying here in O’ahu? Interviewee HPU for schooling has really been around the fact that I really want to connect to my roots and get to know kind of where I’m from and why I have this calling to the ocean and kind of why I have this lust for being in nature all the time. I kind of love the fact that I can take both the ideas of getting a college degree and living on my own independently in a warm state where I really love and I’ve created my life. Learning a lot about myself, taking all those aspects and putting them into one, I really couldn’t have asked for a better place to go to school for me. I still have a year left so I’m getting there, but I’m excited to see where my schooling here will take me. Aloha!
My name is Shianne Kealoha Schorr and I have grown up from island to island. On the most part I am from the island of Kaua'i but have spent most of my life traveling. I am an integrated multimedia student. I am very, very energetic. Passionately obsessed with creativity, I am in the making of my own company schorrdesign. Though most skilled with a pen and paper, I work in all mediums. Hope that is more of a gist of who I am for my intro. I thoroughly appreciated this film. Being from Hawai’i, this film was so encouraging to know that something that brings this knowledge and awareness is available to people, especially people coming to Hawai’i. This is important for people to know in general but especially important if they are not only to visit but to be living in Hawai’i.
This film teaches not only the culture but the reason behind the division between America and Hawai’i that many people who come to Hawai’i do not know. This also sheds light on the behavior and mentality towards America that has been passed down from generations. Though in an arguing point, Hawai’i would most likely have been overthrown regardless, so I find this to be a positive outlook that it was America vs. any other country that could have overthrown Hawai’i. Though this does not justify or excuse the actions America did and has done and in no way makes it okay. Such as the racist annexation and purely selfish acts on Hawai’i’s people, land, and culture. Hawai’i is a part of America by an illegal overthrow and instead more than less people from the mainland have no idea but just come to Hawai’i without taking any initiative to educate themselves or have respect for the culture. This results in much confusion and shock as to why the culture here is so different… Hawai’i does not claim to be a part of the US and I am so glad this film shed light on the matter. If people were to treat Hawai’i as it is instead of just an American vacation state, it would save both foreigners and locals so much frustration. This is why I not only appreciate this film but wish this would be watched by all people wishing to come to America’s vacation state where I have literally have been told by people on more than multiple occasions that they are came to the island of Honolulu, not O’ahu because they do not know what O’ahu is… |
