Music Blog

 Today was the day that Sarah and i picked out the background music we will use for our opening sequence. Sarah has been sick for the past couple days so we couldn't discuss too many details about the film. Since she hasn't been at school, i decided to video call her in class so we can discuss the film. We scrolled through royalty free music on YouTube and discussed which one would be the best fit. I looked over the storyboard and the previous clips we filmed to experiment with the music. We spent about thirty minutes scrolling until we found two songs that we agreed with. We decided to use a sound titled "Creepy Piano Loop- horror and suspense- Royalty free Stock music" and Royalty Free Music- Bump in the night- Horror- Kevin Macleod. I also discussed which scenes certain music and sound effects would be used in. I'm planning on using the piano music quietly in the background of the majority of the film. Im also planning to merge sound effects from the other music in the end of the opening sequence, where the horror element is at its peak. We may make certain changes as we start editing but we have a steady, clear plan for the music so far. We decided to use royalty free music instead of emailing a producer. We also discussed using voiceovers of the characters laughing and making other sound effects.

They informed me that it would be okay because the scenes being filmed didn't require every group member to be in it. I still wanted to be included because i know from our previous times filming that during the process we often make changes from the storyboard to better our film. These changes take place during the actual process of filming each scene as sometimes we realize that our storyboard is complicated to follow exactly.  I think it's important for each group member to contribute by adding their input to these changes as it adds as much perspective as possible. I wondered how it would be possible for me to add input to these changes if i couldn't physically be there. I remembered last year when filming an opening s...

How to make a short film

  Blog 3 What is the take away from the video?   I have acknowledged all the aspects and things needed to make a film. I learned the writing tips, production and post production steps and procedures. I could take away that there are ways to be better prepared for filming then I have before.     What good information did you gather while watching  it?   Budgeting and the resources you have access to will be crucial throughout the entire making of the film. When editing, cut the scenes down until you can't anymore which will shorten the film to just the important parts of it. Preparation is key for a film. However, even if you create a storyboard for the entire film, there still may be changes while making it. Stick to a theme and a tone and let it guide the story. If you do not do so, it will confuse the audience. Lastly, taking care of your cast is important because if you do not have respect them, they may not make it as easy to film.     How do ...
