Day 13
March 28
My internet at home was not working for that whole week and is still off this week but on March 28, I went to Riya's house to do the filming. We started at 1:30 and it took the whole day. We ended up filming at 9:30. It was really exhausting.

Day 12
Today Riya did some more revision of the script and we added some more stuff. We figured out we are going to make a sort of modern day verison of Marie's life. We found some music to go with the movie. We are going to start filming tomorrow.

Day 11
Today I just got back from my trip. Riya e-mailed me the script for our movie and I looked over it. I revised it and sent her back a response to her e-mail. I was thinking about doing a modern clothing type for the movie because it would be easier than to find her time period of clothing. I don't know yet because I need to talk this over with her.

My actions today were to talk to my partner about our project which I did but we didn't really figure anything out. I found some mroe information that will help me with the project.

Since I am leaving soon for spring break I really need to talk to my partner about what we will be doing because when I come back we only have a week till the Exhibition Night. My next action is to talk to my partner about me leaving for break and how we will be doing the project. I also need to write a script on our final product and do a bit more research and then I will be done.

Summary: This is basically just like the other websites that I have found. This website also includes that Marie did not ignore the growing financal crisis in France. She reduced the royal household staff, eliminating many unnecessary positions that were based solely on privilege. King Louis was executed for treason. She was cruely treated during her final days of captivity. Her children were taken from her, and her best friend, the Princess de Lambelle, was killed and her severed head was put on a pole and paraded in front of the Queen. Antoinette followed her husband to the guillotine on October 16, 1793. She was executed without proof of the crimes for which she was accused.

Summary: This is a very very basic summary on Marie's life. How she was killed and who she was. This also says that she had an aura that even put the king into pale comparison. She was courageous and dignified when she was about to be beheaded. She was regal, beautiful, and graceful.

http://www.findingdulcinea.com/features/happy-birthday/2008/Nov/Marie-Antoinette.html
Summary: She was born as the 15th child born on the day of a great earthquake. Her mother did not give much attention to Marie. Did not receive formal schooling. At the end of the Seven Years' War Aurstia and France were allies. When she was 14, she was sent to marry Louis-Auguste and made to leave all of her Austrian clothing and belongings behind in honor of her new French citizenship. Marie Antoinette did not bear her husband any children for quite some time, a fact which frustrated the royal family and sparked much gossip and speculation among the general public, many of whom called for the annulment of the marriage. It is possible that surgery was required before the dauphin could father children. She rebelled by choosing her own fashions and friends, and misbehaved during royal events. Louis XVi and Marie assumed the French throne in 1774 after Louis XV died from smallpox. The couple did not see each other often. Marie Antoinette busied herself with gambling, outings to operas, and current fashion. When France fell into financial ruin in late 1787, many people held Marie Antoinette responsible for the troubles, blaming her excesses and her influence on the King as the cause of his poor decisions. Although her husband supported the Third Estate, Marie Antoinette opposed any rule other than an absolute monarchy. French citizens forced the royal family out of their palace at Versailles in October 1789. They moved to the Palace of the Tuileries, where they lived a more modest existence, during which time both Louis XVI and Marie wrote aboard for help. The family attempted escape, but were captured and eventually formally imprisoned and in August of 1792, the monarchy was officially abolished Louis XVI was executed for treason in January 1793. After 10 months of being jailed and separated from her children, Marie Antoinette was put on trial in October 1794. She was charged with treason, sexually abusing her son and other offenses and found guilty. On October 16, 1794, Marie Antoinette was executed by guillotine.

Day 8
My actions today were to research about things that were influenced by Marie. I found another article that helped me with the diamond affair necklace and a picture of a dress that she wore. I also found an article about how she was such a fashion queen and how her style will still influence centries to come. I also talked to Mr. Nilsen about me leaving for Spring Break early and he said that I should write sort of a script of what my partner and I will be doing and also cite the scenes with our research. I need to talk to my partner about the project more and how we will be doing it. My next action is to talk to my partner about me leaving for break and how we will be doing the project. I also need to write a script on our final product.

Summary: This article talked about how we are living in the time period of Marie Antoinette, the fashion queen. She set trends like the "pouf" and set the trend of wearing pants for women. Marie rode her horses astride instead of sidesaddle. This was a big deal because women wore dresses and not pants. She also was the first to sport short hemlines and was also the first to show her ANKLES!! Marie didn't always wear the amazing detailed clothing she also wore plain dresses which was sort of like calling it a knock-off. She was desperately in love with what was new, without any regard for its implications. This article also said that now there are 2 perfumes that Marie might have used and they are now selling them.

Summary: This is a picture of one of her most detailed dresses. If we look closer we can see that the fabric is satin and that it has many details. This goes to show that Marie had very good tast in her clothing.

Summary: This website was a bit differernt than other websites I have looked at. This website said that Marie was a trend setter for both clothing and hair but the thing that suprised me most was that she was a trend setter for sporting her strawberry blonde hair au natural. She had very thin damaged hair and so she perfered her hair the natural way which was to just have it hang down and not have powder or ornaments in her hair. Although when she did put her hair up it was set to extreme lengths. Women back then had power in their hair and ornaments. The hair had extensions to make it longer and had pads to give it more volume. Their hair usually rose up to 3 feet in length.

Summary: This article fascinated me because it said that there were actually 2 mobs and not just 1. The first mob invaded the Tuileries—their palace in Paris, and went straight to Marie's closet, to "festoon"themselves in her rich garments. They riped whatever they didn't take or like into shreds. The second mob went to Versailles earlier and rushed into her dressing room. They smashed all the mirrors but left the priceless furniture and paintings untouched.

Status Report
1. So far for my project I have accomplished everything that I needed. I have done all the research that I should have and have thought about what the final product will be.
2. I would only have to do 1 more daily progress post and 8 more index cards after today.
3. The hardest thing that I would ahve thought was the researching because I have to make sure that I don't repeat my web sites and I have to remember to put the websites on both blogger and delicious.
4. I thought coming up with the topic and the final product would have been hard but it was actually quite easy. I also thought doing a research with a partner would have been hard because we couldn't use the same sites but it was actually pretty easy to not to.
5. If I could start my prject all over again I would have thought through and planned out everything that I was going to do each day so that it would make it easier on me each day to research.
6. I need to accomplish a lot before my Spring Break because I am leaving before everyone else. I need to talk about when my partner and I will be doing our final product, get our costumes, our camera, location for the taping, and doing all the research that will be helping us with our project.
