Day four was a little less exciting than the other days because we traveled from San Fransisco down to Los Angeles. Sleeping most of the time in the car was nice to finally catch up on a little bit of sleep but going to Hearst's Castle was the overall highlight of the day! After having watched Citizen Kane in Xaver's Mass Media class helped me understand the background and everything to help it all make sense. The house just on the outside was gorgeous, but once you stepped foot on the inside it was like stepping into a little bit of a history book. The detailing behind all of the stuff within William Randolph Hearst's home was very precise and cool to learn about. I learned that he liked to collect things from way before his time, like books, and pottery. I find this quite relatable to myself because I also like to read and collect things! Hearst's home relates to the broadcasting program because just like set designing/ dressers, everything needs to be perfect for the needs of the production, and in this case, the production was William Randolph Hearst's home for himself.
After we got done at Hearst's home we headed across the street to Elephant Seal Beach. It was such a cool and interesting place because going to any other beach you don't get to see any wildlife besides birds and the occasional crab or shark that gets to close to shore. We got to see an elephant seal sleeping and every time he moved it was a little nerve-racking because it was also pretty funny to see Meghan run away when he snored. Although it may not seem like it, this can also relate to my major! The Elephant Seal is much like the higher-ups in the industry, you don't want to poke at them too much or they might eat you, and in the production piece, the seal is the director and if you annoy him he will fire you!
