Thriller.

From the research I've done and movies I have watch, thriller is my choice. For the sole reason that I am going to take the psychological approach of thriller movies. The Black Swan does that and Parasite as well. I am of course going to do things different. My whole concept isn't completely different. But these movies tend to have a ton of silence and few words spoken if any. I don't truly remeber the name of the specfic movie. But I do remeber that it did an amazing job in making me feel truly uncomfortable. The silence was a huge part of it, it is errie and quiet, not in a good way as well. So, I do want to incorporate that and try to make it work. The whole point of thriller to me is make you feel uncomfortable and filled with anxiety. It isn't horror that is for sure, there aren't as much intense moments and it is supposed to scare you which is different from thrillers.

If I did romance, It would begin with an over the shoulder shot and follows up with a medium close up shot. Then the story would go on. I did try to envision it and honestly I hated it. I just stopped mid way of trying to think of it solely for the reason that my pitch and this type of genre did not match. I didn't make sense to me and I am happy with the choice I am made.

When I choose the pitch I wanted, horror was one of the genres that first came to find. I would start it with an establishing shot and then cut to a different location but the same shot. The genre does fit well with the pitch but it did like there was something missing. Along with that, horror movies are intense with their jumpscares and sometimes being chased. I couldn't think of a way to do that with my pitch.

For the thriller, which is the genre I choose, I would do an establishing shot then a close up or something along those lines. It makes the most sense to me, the majority of the film will rely on silence and the small sounds that the actors or objects make. I will rely on that, a lot! This is the only of the films that fall into this genre where I do see and rough outline on what I want to do. I will lean on psychological side of thriller as well.

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...
