Final Music Selection

Ever since the music research that took place long before production. We did not end up with a solid music choice. There were only four rules that we established. One was that it was both free and not copyrighted. We all believed that the permission we needed to use copyrighted music was going to take too long. Two was for it fit the thriller/scary theme that we were going for. We scratched the idea of inputting music that fit the mood of a certain scene. The beginning scenes were simply for plot build-up, not mood setters. Three was for it to be in a lower register. The explanation for this is because of our extra dialogue. This music has to be noticeable through the talking but also has to induce a sense of anxiety in the watcher. A study was done for music that the lower its register, the more likely it is to put the listener in a stressful/scared mood. Unfortunately, I can not find the article that said this, so we will be going off my past information and memory. Lastly, the song was to have no words or any dialogue. We only wanted to use it in the background. It would be worse if it clashed with the dialogue of the film.  I started to search Youtube once more just in case any new, better songs had been uploaded for our use. After about an hour of doing this. It seems that Youtube has been lacking in the thriller background genre!

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
