Music Blog

 Hey everyone and welcome back to another blog! Today I will be talking about the process I went through with trying to find music for our film. 

During the time of me looking for music we only had a few more scenes to film so I think it was a perfect time to start looking for the perfect background music. I knew that our film genre is thriller, so I wanted to make sure our music fit the genre accurately. I refreshed my knowledge on the type of music that would sound good, so I watched the opening sequence of two different movies but really just listened for the type of music to use. 

After I did this, I had a much better idea of what type of music to look for. Majority of the music wasn't super scary. It had more of an eerie feeling. So, the next thing I did was went straight to YouTube to look for free music to use. I wanted to make sure that the music I found was free so that we didn't copyright. I searched "Thriller movie background music" to start and the first few songs that came up were way to dramatic for what I had imagined. I then searched up "eerie thriller background music." I liked some of the songs but of course the one I liked the most I needed to get permission for. Unfortunately, I don't have time to get it approved to use that sound because we as a group wanted to get the film done fast and not have to wait on someone to reply to us. After I saw that I tried one more time with the search. I searched up "free eerie thriller background music." After I typed that in, I clicked the first sound I found and loved it! I was super happy with the sound. It was exactly what I was envisioning. Before I got to excited, I made sure we were able to use the music and we were! I was so happy. I sent the link to the song in the group chat that we all share to see everyone's thoughts. 

Peyton also found a song. I personally liked mine better but hopefully we can use both sounds which will be the best for everyone. Thats all for today, so I will see you guys in the next blog!

Production Blog: Final Scenes

Image
 Hey everyone welcome back to another blog! Today I will be talking about the final scenes my group and I filmed. We started right where we left off with Marissa and I about to play hide and seek. This is just a bunch of different scenes of Marissa looking for me. There was one scene that was difficult to film. Peyton couldn't get the right angle in the beginning. She filmed it a couple more times so now we have multiples scenes to work with when editing. The next few scenes were upstairs. There was one scene that was filmed in the twin's bathroom. It was supposed to look like Marissa was looking for me hiding in the shower. Peyton didn't feel super comfortable stepping into the twin's bathroom, so Mackena filmed this scene. The next scene we filmed upstairs was the scene of Marissa looking under a bed. We used Mackena's room for this since her room is right near the bathroom and it was cleaner than Marissa's room. We had to get the camera at the right angle to ...

Production Blog: Meeting up at Starbucks

Image
 Hey everyone and welcome back to another production blog! Today I will be talking about how my group, and I met up at Starbucks to plan everything else for the film. We met up at this same location on the last project and it seemed to work very well for us. We decided to do this because trying to plan everything over text just wasn't working well. We went to Starbucks after a long day at school, but we needed to plan everything out. I love Starbucks so I got a coffee so that helped me stayed energized to get this done. Once everyone got their little snacks, we got ready to plan out our other filming days. Peyton even brought a planner to just write down all the days we could do so everyone was on the same page. When discussing days to film, either the end of the week or the weekend works best for me. I work on the weekends though so sometimes I have to schedule days off work. It is still so much better to film over the weekend then during the school week. It was getting a little s...

Research/Planning Blog

Image
Hello and welcome back to my blogs. Today I began planning all my parts of my commercial. The first thing was decided on the images I was going to use for this project. The first thing I did was go back to my intro blog to have my pictures relate to that blog. I decided to have multiple pictures of my friends and I and my dogs especially! I had to pick a specific picture of my dogs where they are all in the same photo, which was difficult, but I found a perfect photo. I also went to google to find a really cute picture of a doctor because I really want to be a doctor. The videos were a little more difficult to decide on. When I went to go look for videos, I wanted to show my journey in M.M.A but I couldn't find any at first. I then went deeper into older pictures and videos and found the perfect video of me getting my black belt. I needed another video and I wanted to show my school life. Therefore, I decided to search for a video of me at school. I then found the perfect video tha...
