Heather's Film Clips

Red + White= Pink

I thought of the idea of doing my laundry for my films subject matter because sometimes I feel as though there is a pressure on women to know how to be good at household chores like doing laundry. As you can see, I am not too good at doing this nor do I particularly enjoy doing household activities. My other five roomates are much better at laundry, and other things like sewing and cleaning than me and this shows the frustration I have about how I am sometimes assumed to be good at skills like these because they are designated as "feminine". I could also make a similar video on the terrors of having to cook, bake, sew, and clean.

Painting Nails Failure


I thought painting my nails for the subject of my video reflects how often women are expected to enjoy or be good at certain things such as applying makeup, or in this case painting nails. As you can see I am horrible at doing this and the nail polish I used belong to my roommates who spend countless hours painting their nails. It made me think about how much time we spend on activities like this and how tedious they seem when having to watch being replayed on film.
