The Editing Begins!

This is going to save everything!

Let's start with the first thing I did, I downloaded all the raw footage. I then put it into Adobe Premiere Pro because I have that at my disposal. When I started this, I knew I had one thing in mind which was to get the footage to get into a sequence with the music. I downloaded the music then which I think I should've done earlier but here we are. I found this quite difficult because I didn't want the music to just cut during the lyrics. I looked for the best place to cut the audio and I did.  This came with another problem, I wanted the music to fade out and fade in. So, I added the affects in the front and the end in order to this.

 So, that is what I did. I put everything in order so it goes with the storyboard and the lyrics along with the beat of the music. I cut and trimmed everything so it would fit. I also trimmed down the height and the length of the footage because I want it to look like it came out of a VHS tape so black borders is also something I kept in mind throughout this whole process. I did run into problems here because I don't know how exactly the software works but that is something to discuss for another day. 

After I cut the music so it lined up with the music I added transitions. Scene 1 would cut to scene 2 which is easy enough to do. Scene 2 then fades out to 3 and 3 pans into scene 4 along with scene 5. Then it zooms in and cuts to scene 6. Scene 7 proved difficult since it was multiple shots edited into one scene, and it looks chaotic but I managed to do it so it wasn't a big problem. Scene 7 and 8 alternate with each other, again, to look 10 times more chaotic then it is. The rest of the scenes just to cut to one another so it wasn't a huge problem in my defense. Tomorrow is where everything comes into play, such as lightings and effects that will be needed in order for this to work.




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...
