That's a wrap!

Action! It finally begins.

So, filming started on October 5th and finished the same day! Which is fantastic because we have so much more to do. Let me give you a run down of the circumstances and a couple issues our group ran into. Before setting a date we had difficulty setting a date since we are all busy but we found out that 2 of us were able to go film that day. Two of us weren't able to go since we ran into problems but we avoided that issue. There was only one actor, they were a sister of our group member Sara S; who was the person also provided for the doughnuts we needed that day. The first scene was shot on a beach, but my group ran into a couple issues already. The sand was uneven so the simple location was to move to a new location, which was on a sidewalk with the beach in the background and a palm tree overhead. So the location was fixed, but we soon realized that it was odd to shot a close up of the actor. In order for now to be odd we just used a long shot instead which turned out well.


We switched to a different scene which was a white wall, we used that to our advantage and used it as a white background. We took the first 3 scenes here, which was the actor looking bored, the box of doughnuts, and the actor eating one of the doughnuts. In order to film the actor looking bored, we used a medium shot from eye level. The next scene felt awkward, this was the actor reaching for the doughnut, so we used a tracking shot from a high angle; we used this instead of just using a straight shot of the actor eating the doughnut. We took extra shots just in case we needed them, and if we realized something late we could possibly use one of those extra shots. We used a title of the actor eating the doughnut and as well as a POV of the actor eating the doughnut. Luckily we were able to finish considering all the challenges each member faced. We all had pressure even though some of us weren't there, for instance I wasn't able to go due to certain circumstances. From what my group members said, it went well and they got to enjoy the doughnuts after which made me kind of jealous. They deserved it, after the filming and the hard work they did! That's a wrap!

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...
