I'm back!

Hello, let me introduce myself (just in case you forgot), my name is Kaylie Estrada-Menjivar but you can call me Kay. Additionally, I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. For the past school year, I've worked on a commercial and a music video, which was intresting and I larned countless of things while doing those assignments. At the end of the day I appriciate all things I learned even though it was difficult. Both of those assignments proved difficult in different areas. For instance, I worked alone on the music video but on the commercial, I didn't. Which of course gave me more with the music video but it was less frustrating for me because I had full control and I didn't need any conformination on anything, which is nice. I still enjoyed it and I would like to do it again. Anyways, let me tell you about more about myself espcially since this is a sort of mini introduction and a foreshadowing of how I am going to do this assignment.

Let me establish this, I don't like movies or TV-shows, it honestly depends on what I am watching. For instance, I can barely sit through Avengers: Endgame which was directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The reason why I could sit through it is because I do love the Marvel Universe and I can sit through a ton of Tim Burton movies since I think he is so iconic. The same goes for TV shows, Wednesday or Merlina is a show by Tim Burton, I was able to sit through it and loved it. But for some reason I can't sometimes, when a popular show called Euphoria which was directed by Sam Levinson, everyone was talking about it and saying it was amazing. I could barely watch the first season without taking breaks between the episodes. For example, I watched the first episode then a month later I watched the next. I can't sit through TV shows or movies but I can YouTube videos which is odd.

Now you are asking why Tim Burton movies; you are mostly likely not asking but let me explain. His movies and the characters he makes are truly amazing! Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare before Christmas are all movies made by him and I love them all even his adaptations. His adaptation of the Adams Family in Wednesday is amazing along with his take on Alice in Wonderland which I love. His art is curious and I love it. Everytime I see those drawings I just think "curiouser and curiouser".





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...
