The Editing Ends!

Lighting is everything in my opinion!

This the second half of editing. To say the least I mainly focused on the lighting, the length and height of the video, plus the effects that it make it look like a VHS. So the first thing I did was change the color. I upped the temperature and saturation. I also lowered the tint as well in order to make it look kind of soft. Now the lighting, which I need to get right. Let's start with the first thing I raised which is the contrast. The thing I didn't change was the highlights and shadows since it didn't look right when I raised it or lowered it. But I did lower the whites more than the blacks in order to achieve the soft look with just the lighting. I did this with every clip so it looks the same and no clips look out of place.

The next thing I did in order to enhance that it looks like it was filmed by a vintage camera. So I added Noise which made the video have a grainy look to it. I also found that Channel Blur worked well. It added a semi blur that isn't strong that doesn't affect the footage. I did this to every clip but there was a couple of clips where I did alter the values in some of this. After I did that, I did move around some of the clips because I didn't put the takes to match up with the lyrics sometimes. Plus some of them just needed to be fixed in general.

I tried to add affects and play around with the resources that Adobe gave me. Spoiler alert, it didn't go well! Since, the program is 10 times more confusing than anything I know, I rather deal with math in my opinion but that's a story for another day. 




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...
