Hello, Meet me! 

My name is Kaylie Estrada-Menjivar, at the time of writing this I am a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School and some of my friends call me Kay. I recently turned 15 which makes me the youngest out of all my friends which is sort of annoying but at times it’s fun. Originally, I’m from Los Angeles, California and my family is from Sonsonate, El Salvador. I love going there, it is such an experience going back and getting to know where you originated from. I mainly talk to my cousin who is basically my best friend but sadly he lives in LA and another close friend of mine lives across the pond, Albania. But I do travel to LA to visit family and my hometown. I wish I could travel around the world, I want to go to so many places such as London, Manilla, Seoul, Tirana, Singapore, and countless more. I love the idea of exploring different cultures and languages, even though I hate learning new languages it is difficult for me. The music of these different places and how life is at night or during the day, it is truly a mystery to me. The food is a completely different story, the street food and the common dishes, it just sounds incredible.


Since, I can’t really travel, I travel in video games! I know this sounds weird but think about an open world rpg game, I think about a game called Genshin Impact. It is a game that has a story line but also has an open world, you get to travel across different kingdoms and unlock these diverse places. Different kingdoms have different elements or a different aspect. It is such a nice thing because to me it is a like a stress reliever because it distracts you from the real world and its problems. This also applies to different video games, it distracts me from my problems for a certain amount of time and to me that is everything. This is why I love them so much. This also the same concept for music. It changes my emotion depending on the mood of the song; it is truly such an amazing thing. I do try to have an open mind to music and because of that fact it has brought me so much joy to my life, I discovered K-Pop in such a difficult time of my life and it helped me. My friends also try to introduce me to new music and sometimes I like it or you know, I don’t sometimes but I keep that to myself.


Signing Off,

Kay.

Title Research: The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?      The Eternal Daughter title card, A film by Joanna Hogg, actor and actress credit, produced by,  co producers, and editor. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     A car on a road, and trees in a bunch, greyish brown background and grey background with a title card. 3.  What connotations do these images carry?       It is slowed to makes you feel anxiety. The sequence is gives you anxiety and suspense that you want to wait until it stops.   4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?     By putting up a very hazy scene throughout the introduction, the movie creates a sense of the genre. It has a hazy beginning that makes viewers uncertain of what is happening and what is happening. Suspense can result from this, which contributes to the genre's sense of adventure, fantasy, and action ...

Storyboard

My storyboard of the girl next door! Scene 1: This will be the first scene and this is where the main actor will appear. It will fade in from black to sync with the audio since it also fades in. It will be at eye level and it will be a close up to show to emphases the subject's eyes because of a lyric "red eyes". The set will be a road in order to cut into the next scene. Scene 2: After it cuts away from the close up we move into a medium long shot at eye level. The actor will be drinking a cherry coke and be stumbling along the road. The medium long shot is to show that she is still wearing the same clothes according to the lyrics. Scene 3: This scene she is up against the bedroom door looking distress. This will be at eye level and it will start at as a close up then zoom out in order to transition into the next scene. She is in this position because she is wondering about a certain thing, that thing being something unpleasant. Scene 4: The next scene will pan into her...

Almost!

We are almost done! As of writing this we are almost finished. We had completed filming around a week ago. Now we are so close to finish editing. Like we said previously, we were to continue adding the footage together so then we can make it easier when it came to transitions and audio. We have put in the title cards, and are only missing a few. For the title cards that we have done, we have added transitions for a couple to the title cards and only a footage is left to edit and put together. Right now we are moving things around, because we are slightly worried about the time limit but so far we haven't crossed it. But again there is that slight worry! We do have a way around it if it were to happen. We have sort of an idea of which scenes we can cut from the footage. We also can speed up footage and cut down some footage in order to make time. We have thought on it, just in case if it happens. Right now we aren't over the limit but again we still have footage to add. That foo...
