Production : Time and Patience!

-

 

It took time and patience but we did it!

At the moment we are doing the last things in order to finish editing. I've been not doing great with everything so I missed school for a couple days but I should be fine now. While I was absent my group members have been hard at work and I've been trying to keep up. They are nice enough to inform me of current updates with other classes and how everything is coming along, so I am thankful for that. But in the days I was gone, Sara S, who is editing said she is basically finished just needs a little more things to do. She had to make sure the volume for each scene fit with each other, that the transitions are fluid, and of course other things we think or she thinks need to be changed.

One of the first things she caught as the second song was a bit louder than the first. In order for them to sound even, she lowered the volume on the second and upped the first song's volume. This made the songs connect more fluidly and made everything fit together. She told us that she was there on her computer watching the video over and over just making sure nothing was cutting awkwardly. She found something and she said she's thankful she noticed it now because if she didn't it maybe would've been too late to do so. She missed a sharp cut so she added a dissolve transition, it added sort of a dreamy vibe to it. Since she rewatched the video countless of times she was able to catch other things. She wanted to empathize more that in the beginning it was dull and there was nothing special to it. What she did was desaturate these scenes to ensure that it was dull, boring and nothing to it. In order to see the complete difference between the ending and beginning she increased the saturation of the ending scenes which is after taking the bite of the doughnut.

She told us we should the actor more and we said do whatever you think is better. So she did, in order to show the actor more she shorten a clip which was awkwardly too long and added a bit of time to a clip where the actor was shown. She did this because she thought the actor was quickly appearing and disappearing out of nowhere.

When she showed us the final result we were all happy with it. She said we finished quicker than we thought. We all hope you end up liking it, we all put effort into it one way or another. Whether it was suggesting, pointing out mistakes, or simply making a comment. 

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...
