Zara







I. About the Clothing Brand

Zara is a Spanish clothes and accessories brand, it is the flagship brand of the lnditex group. Few clothing brands keep up with the latest fashion, are of high quality and yet, affordable. It is probably the amalgamation of all these qualities that made Zara, the Spanish clothing brand become the go-to fashion brand for all. Zara sells both Men's and women's clothes. They also sell shoes, cosmetics and accessories. Recently they started with children's clothes as well. The secret to Zara's success largely was because of the way it kept up with street fashion with the changing times. The brand takes a look at stores in a week or two. Most other fashion brands would take a whole six months to get their new designs into the market.

II. About the Designer
I find it incomprehensible that there are 210 designers working there. That would mean each designer put out 52 designs per year which is appalling performance (albeit typical of push manufacturers). Again, if the latter is true, there’s lots of slop in Zara’s development and I could only expect those numbers to improve to the detriment of push manufacturers the world over. A range of 200 to 400 styles per designer per year depending on the type of garment would be closer to target productivity. Rather, I think it’s more likely they have 210 people working in design, in other words, a total of 210 designers, pattern makers, technical designers, sample makers, and CAD operators working in the product development department. That seems more likely, still that’s not accurate either because there’s administration of the design system and what percentage of the 210 are included there -if any? If one assumes the worst, that it is true that Zara employs 210 designers (or close to that figure), push manufacturers the world over are in much worse position than ever. If Zara’s output is that prodigious with that much slop -because they will improve- with respect to design staff, push manufacturers are never going to catch up.

My Featured Film


The Elevator

I. About the Film
 
I Chose to analyse the short film ‘Elevator’ by Greg Glienna because comedy is my favourite genre, and the genre of the short film i am planning to make. It is similar to the one we plan to make because it is set in one location, and not many props are used and it is very simple. We do not have a budget and for this reason we must plan our short film realistically and make sure every scene can actually be carried out and filmed.     This short film was written and directed by Greg Glienna, the creator of ‘Meet the Parents’ and ‘Meet the Fockers’. He also plays the lead role.  Todorov’s theory of equilibrium can be represented in this short. The film starts of with a relaxed man in an elevator. A disruption occurs when a group of overweight people enter the elevator, exceeding the weight limit. A new equilibrium is set when the man leaves the elevator to enter a new one, filled with people who have swine flu. Levi Strauss’ theory of binary opposites can also be shown in this short. Binary opposites refers to the coming together of opposites. In this case, its skinny VS overweight, healthy VS unhealthy.       The main character is of middle class. You can tell because he is well groomed, has an expensive phone, and he is wearing smart clothes. He is also looking down at the people around him as if he is of higher status and more important.     It is shot in the elevator of a hospital. You can tell because the elevator is filled with overweight and un-well people. These are health related issues. Most short films have one, fixed location due to the limited time available. It also keeps costs low and simplifies the production process. High key lighting was used throughout the film. Most comedies use high key lighting to create a positive and lively feeling. It also gives us clear vision of what’s going on. For example, the weight of the people, what they’re wearing, their age and surroundings. It makes it easier for the viewer to analyse what’s going on. It is very easy to analyse the characters. The is a clear difference between the main characters and the extras. The extras have a very simple role. Little experience and movement is required in short films, as it is a simple job. The costume of the characters are very important because it explains their background.

II. Versions of the Film




The people who gained weight were coming into an elevator one after another, and it seemed to exceed weight excess. When trains were changed to other ones, virus infected patients took there.I think the strange affair which may happen to itself actually, too.

  • A segment in a narrative film that takes place in one time and space.
