To plan for the critical reflection, I’ll be following the format I detailed on one of my previous blogs and examining all components of my portfolio once they’re complete. The focus of Porcelain remains centered on the idea that perfection is unattainable, no matter the lengths one goes to achieve it, and this theme will guide my analysis throughout the reflection.
My research into psychological drama and coming-of-age films influenced many of my decisions. Productions such as Black Swan and The Virgin Suicides helped shape the emotional tone and visuals of Porcelain. I used conventions like soft lighting and the flower metaphor to represent conflict but chose to challenge the genre conventions by portraying obsession through subtle moments rather than intense breakdowns. This made the story feel more authentic to its message.
The final part of this reflection will address branding and representation. Across the trailers, social media, and print component, I aimed for visual and thematic consistency through feminine, muted tones and symbolic imagery that represent that fragile femininity. Porcelain represents teenage girls facing body related disorders and obsessive tendencies, presenting these experiences with realism and empathy while emphasizing that the strive to become perfect is more destructive than it is fulfilling.
