The Filming Ends!

-

That is a wrap!

Today was difficult. I mentioned the last time that I thought it wasn't going to be as difficult but I was proven horribly wrong. Today I was filming the shots that are inside of a bedroom of the actor and the one that has to do with the door and mirror. I will go in order from which ones I filmed. The first scene was the one of her up against the door. This then it panning into her room to show her room that is completely untouched. The scene of the actor up against the door was fairly easy it took around 5 takes which wasn't bad. The room panning into her room and it panning around to show her room, I think was the easiest today which took around 2-3 takes. The camera then stops at the window and I cut it there. I then record around 10 second video of the window which then I will add text through editing. The next scene was the sunset and it getting dark which can easily be filmed so I am not worried about it. The next scene is her in her bedroom it looks like she half asleep. I had minor problems with this one but they were easily fixed.

The next shot is her on the floor but her head is on the top of the bed. Then zooms out and shows her messy room. I did 2 versions of this; the raw footage of it zooming it out or standing from the distance then editing in a zoom later on. This took I think on of the longest but this was the calm before the storm. When doing the research I knew for a fact that then scene with the mirror was going to take time but not as long as it did. It took an hour to film and yet after filming I am unsure about it. I had to figure out what angle was the best for the mirror and what would be best for the actor. This was challenging but at the end of the day we took around 20-25 takes of this and decided to move on in order not waste anymore time. The next scene is the actor realizing its her and it is a close up. She looks done with herself in this scene and has no words to say. This then concludes the filming, I just need to upload everything up to the editing software I'm using and edit it.



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...
