Me, Myself, and I!

I am working with no one due to some reasons. I decided to work alone because I want more control over the entire project. I also, I won't have the pressure of letting down other people. I want to choose the song I want and I have a vision on how it might work out. We all decided not to work together because some of us wanted more control or wanted to work with someone who is convenient, in this sense, someone who lives nearby. I also have some additional reasons on working alone! I work at my own pace, with the group I felt like we were going so quick I wasn't able to keep up. For instance, I won't need someone else's approval in order to do something. I also want a challenge this is a good one, and I think if I put enough time or effort into this I will be satisfied with the outcome. The biggest reason was is the pressure of my teammates and the possibility of not doing enough.

Moving onto why I am working alone and not with people. The song I choose, there was so many options. The first thing I did was go to my liked songs on Spotify; which had 842 songs. This was sort of a problem already, I had so many songs to choose from and I only needed one. But I was able to narrow it down because I wanted a song that told a story in some sense. I do enjoy K-Pop but I wanted a song in English because it would make it easier to tell a story and overall would be better. 

These were my options:

  • Maniac - Conan Gray 
  • killer queen - Mad Tasi
  • phases - Maggie Lindemann
  • girl next door - Maggie Lindemann
  • Fake Love - BTS

Out of all these, I choose girl next door by Maggie Lindemann. The song is straightforward and is pretty short. One lyric goes like this, "Red eyes, stumbling 'cross the road" and "She's still wearing the same clothes". Overall the song gives descriptions on what is happing from another perspective, in this case it would be a girl looking on how much is going on with this girl's life which would be the girl next door.



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...
