Movie Conventions: Lost Girls

Lost Girls


Sarah and I might use the paper trick where there was a signature on it. As soon as the movie started to play, there was a brown paper with a typed signature appearing on it. Then, a field shows up with some titles started showing up.  That is a great idea because people would think that this is an innocent move and not a true crime movie. But then, it jumps into a girl running on the road, phone in her hand, and a car chasing her down the road. This gets people thinking, what is the girl running from?
 
 

Sarah and I like how there was a jump cut from a calm day to a panicked night. It gives of a sense of where did it go wrong? We also liked how they put a few titles through out the opening sequence. We are probably planning to have our opening sequence similar to this one. We also liked the car chasing the girl. It gave off a "I am about to get harmed" kind of vibe. Which is the vibe you want to get in a true crime movie. 

Sarah and I dislike how there was a clam and peaceful scene right before the car chasing. We think it would be better if the movie had introduced the car chasing scene as soon as the movie started. It would be after the title opener. It would give some people a little jump scare because they would not expect that type of scene so soon. We also did not like the girl that was running in the middle of the road. She could have run to the other side. She could have also ran in the opposite direction and gave the car chasing her a good chase. 



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...
