1. Written Media Analysis
This is an analysis from a scene in the film, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’.

Crazy Rich Asians, a truly Asian and expertly crafted movie by Mr. Jon M. Chu, has completely captivated my thoughts. The perfect amalgamation of family drama, relatable immigrant lifestyles, and the characters' tremendous energy spiced up the emotion-rich movie showing the best Asian-American weddings in the history of cinema. The most intricate details like three kids paving the way for the bride, the wedding venue- a church that looked nothing less than a beautiful island with an indoor garden, and palm trees that illustrated the country's slogan, all demonstrated the real essence of the art. But as the instrumental version of an old classic played in the background, the water flowed through the aisle, and the heads turned to welcome the bride dolled up in a shimmery white gown, it was mesmerizing. The mixed emotions of the couple showed genuine love and happiness. Although the actors play a significant role in giving life to the script, I realized how the creative team and visual effects make a scene so extravagant. Over and above, the Chinese fans and sculptures along with thousands of Swarovski crystals covered in a reflective, mylar-like fabric laminated onto waterproof marine plywood and lined with orchids, bromeliads, and ferns gave a surreal look to the entire scene. The designers were able to bring out the stories they were trying to tell beautifully with the set designs, props, and visual effects that they used on stage. This ten-minute scene taught me about the various processes involved in the production of the picture. I learned that development, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution play a vital role in conceptualizing a single task. It is amusing to realize how cinematic techniques like the camera angle and theatrical elements like costumes and props can intensify the movie's impact on the audience.
2. Sample of 2 media works
Duality (2019)
Size- 45 height x 30 Width x 20 depth
Medium- Paper Mashe
This is a three-dimensional sculpture made using eco-friendly and biodegradable objects to show the different kinds of culture in India. One face shows royalty, Indian kingdoms, and the richness that existed since the beginning of time. The other face shows paintings, flowers, animals and clothing that people wore since the beginning of time. It also shows 'Vedas (Indian Scripture)' which are a huge part of our country's culture. This means how our culture has been enriched with time.
Food Wars (2020)
Medium- 3D Computer Graphics
This is a three-dimensional digital brochure I designed based on one of my favorite Netflix shows. This show named 'Food Wars' is based on a diner so I designed a take-away brochure and menu if a real-life diner existed. This show has helped me understand my creative potential in so many different ways. I illustrated this piece in the form of graphic design by using the software Adobe Photoshop. The main objective of this piece was to showcase digital marketing by using these brochures that are designed using computer software.
