Details!

In order to set a couple things straight. I need to read the lyrics and listen to the song in order to get a better on understanding on the Mis-En-Scene. Such as the costume and makeup, in order to give the mood of the song and try to give the song justice one way or another.

Props:
I will be using a variety of props due to the song's lyrics since I will be putting more emphasis on them. A cherry coke will the first prop that will be shown, followed by house keys, a messy desk with a chair, and then last a mirror.
,
Costumes: 
The actor will wear a baggy sweater and jeans which are either ripped or dirty in order to symbolize that she never comes home. The actor's hair will be messy and all over the place. The make will look like the actor has not gotten any sleep or was crying recently. They will wear a simple shoes such as converse or shoes that are simply dirty.

Schedule:
11/14/2022, I researched the conventions the props I will be needing along with other possible variables.
11/14/2022, I begin to instate the props, costumes, schedule, location list, and the backup plan.
11/17/2022, I will create a story board to show how the video will progress with the scenes.
11/19-20/2022, I will start filming and end filming for the music video which will following the story board.
11/29-30/2022, I will edit the music and the scenes in order for them to be in sync and add transitions along with other things.

Location List:
I will be shooting in 3 main locations along with 3 additional side scenes. The road, bedroom, and a hallway will the main 3. I will also be filming the actor in front of a mirror and her half asleep on her messy desk. I will also emphasize that her room is clean since it is untouched because she never comes home.

I do really want to emphasize that she is always out and running around. The road is mentioned because of a lyric. But in the lyric video the actor is in the car and never home. So I want to add that to show that she is never home and never comes back for long periods of time.

Backup Plan: 
If it is raining on these days or something is not preferable I will be filming the majority of it in a bedroom. I can most likely can film everything from my bedroom in order to show the passage of time and those types of elements. This isn't truly difficult since I don't need much props and the locations do matter but of course it will be proven worse if I can't do some of the aspects of this. The passage of time can be demonstrated by a couple of things in a bedroom. For instance clocks, things with dust or thing being left untouched can be use to show the passage of time.
 

These are the details I have at the moment, I am improving them as I am typing this due to the fact that this is keeping my mind to keep running.  



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...
