Music Research

Production is finished! Editing has come to a close. The final touch is music is still needed. Before any production started. We all wanted to establish songs that we would input into the film. This was rather easy since songs that fit the thriller/scary genre are easily accessible. The more difficult part was our creative difference which altered our music choice. One member of our group suggested that we use upbeat songs during the build-up scenes such as when the two main characters are walking together. I objected to this idea because the only time "happy" music is used in thrillers. It is either distorted or a jump scare is coming up. Seeing as we have neither of those, the music would just seem misplaced. Another obstacle we have is the heavy amount of dialogue we have. It seems that in the majority of our scenes we have two characters conversing with each other. The music will have to be turned down to a noticeable level if we want to use it during any of those scenes. When it comes to the research part, I was mainly looking for free and not copyrighted music. I did not have much faith that any owner would get back in time for us to use their music. Also, the fact that the free options provided are on par with those copyrighted. An example of this would be FesliyanStudios Background Music on Youtube. Their music is free and sounds almost identical to those used in Hollywood thrillers.

The Final Project

Image
  After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the film is finally complete. I am very relieved. Actually, I am even joyous that this film project is finished. I loved the whole process of making an opening sequence. The editing process was difficult and frustrating but I feel I am getting better at it. My favorite part of the project was the initial planning, storyboarding, and actual filming.    During the planning stage, I understood what I had to do and how to complete it.    The creative aspect of these parts of the project seemed to come easy to me, which made it enjoyable. My least favorite was the editing tasks. This was probably because it was new to me and a challenging learning experience. I felt dependent on different Youtube instructions and had to keep watching different videos to learn. The YouTube posts I found on editing skills were definitely helpful and taught me a lot. I love to learn and absorb new skills, I learned a lot these past three projects and I

A Much Needed Break

 After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. Although this is supposed a follow-up blog on the process my group has been making. We all took our FSA writing this week. I ended up taking mine today, and I am burnt out. In our school, every Thursday of the first week of the month we are provided a Professional Study Day (PSD). In order to maintain my working skills in all seven of my classes. I use days like this to decompress and destress! I made sure all my work had been completed the day before such as Deltamath, previous blogs, etc, so my day could be cleared. After taking my 2 hour FSA writing test, the school day was almost over. I walked to 4th period with my friend and was only in there for about 30 minutes. Once the bell rang I walked with my friend to the car loop. Riding with my mom all the way back home. Once arrived, I decided I was going to watch a movie. Seeing that I am taking a media studies class. It is easy to assume that I
