My thoughts on editing!

I made it!

Let me get this straight, the program I am using is Adobe Premiere Pro 2023. It's a amazing software to edit with and overall do countless of things with the software. When I downloaded, to say the least I was naive. Bare in mind that I never have used this software ever. I even thought "I am Adobe Photoshop certified I should be fine" the whole time while downloading Premiere Pro since it is made by the same company. I was wrong! I struggled the past couple of days. I had to look up tutorials on the simplest things. Things like the scale of the video, which I didn't know you had to do until I imported all the footage. I tried to look for loop holes but I couldn't find any viable ones that would work. So while editing the shots together I had to look up a couple of things so this whole thing can come together and actually work.

Since I looked up tutorials on YouTube and other platforms I missed the thing that would torment me for 30 minutes. There was this thing called the Effects Control Panel, it is easily the thing that is the most important panel. I looked for it for 20 minutes and I couldn't find it! So I looked on the internet and the information was outdated. So, I took the long way; go on Adobe Photoshop and see where all these panels are. I felt so demoralized right after because it was right in front of me the whole time. I just had to click windows and Effects Control. I still think of it and it's the bane of my existence now! I will forever remember where this panel is. After from this point, everything well, sometimes there was things I needed to look up but luckily I found the Effects Control Panel so it made things 10 times more easier.

I have a new respect for editors now. I found this a nice learning experience and I will forever remember it since it brought me multiple troubles along the way.



Signing Off,

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...
