Production : Music

 My team and I have not begun filming yet, but we have started to pick dates. It's harder to pick dates because of our busy schedules. One thing that my team and I can do now is pick the music for our film. In the first scenes, it shows the people in the dream so I wanted it to have a calm and chill sound to it but also an eerie feel to it because the genre is horror. Since the first scene was going to look dreamy the audio had to match up. I looked up harps or whimsical music. After looking around I thought maybe lullaby music that might help or subtle lullaby music. Then I thought maybe a mix but I would have to double-check that thought with my teammates. Another thing we have to overcome is making sure we have the rights for the music used in our film. The last thing my team and I want is to get in trouble for that. So we looked at music that was safe to use on youtube. (11)After the dream scene is done it will transition into the girl waking up the music will then change to something very calm. The music will probably intensify throughout each scene. As she gets her water the music will start to intensify since she is about to be face to face with a doll from her dream. The sound will be low while she getting water so the main focus is the action she is going. As she is walking and sees the doll she will drop her glass and all you will hear is that then the music once the cup has fallen completely. All the attention will be put on the doll as the lady is stunned to speak because she is still scared of her dream. So now I have to look for music that will match the idea in my team and my head. I found a few options for music and sounds already. Now I have to put each sound together and map out the orders.

production : costumes/ props

 A big component of the film was costumes. In the first scene, I wanted the couple to look comfortable, maybe wearing pajamas or super casual clothing. Since they will be on the couch I thought that maybe pajamas would be best. After discussing it with my team we all decided on pajamas. Maybe be striped pajamas or maybe all one color pajamas. I'm thinking about this hard because I feel like it would be very important to the scene and it might add or take away attention to the plot. The little girl with the doll would be wearing a dress or something kinda creepy. The dress would probably look similar to the doll or resemble it and have similar colors to it. I was thinking about shirt and jeans for the little girl holding the doll but I felt that wouldn't be creepy enough. So the dress is for now. I discussed this with my team and they agreed with me on this matter. So the first scene was done when it came to the dream. Next, it was the girl who woke up from her dream. She would ...

Filming Blog: Senior patio

Image
 Today I went out with my group to began day two of shooting. The second I walked outside I could feel the sun beating on me. my teammates also felt how hot it was. I went down the stairs and proceeded to walk to the bathroom to change. I walked in and changed really quick because we didn't have that much time today. After I was done changing I walked to the senior patio and saw my teammates setting up the shot and discussing what we need to do. When I went to the table we started talking about how we needed to reshoot the shot from the last day of filming. I ran into a problem with my team though. One of my teammates didn't have the same outfit on as last time so instead, we had to redo the whole shot. After we came to that conclusion my team and I had to find a grey jacket to use so we didn't have to redo the shot. This would save us so much time. I realized one of our teammates had a grey jacket on but she didn't want to take it off because she didn't have a shir...

Let’s Get Our Groove On !!!

  My group has not yet decided on a song for our music video. We have, however, devised a list of songs that we could do. We also thought about where we would film them, and what the story for the video would be like. One song picked was   Time of  Our Lives   by Pitbull and Ne-Yo. This song is very upbeat so we thought about filming it in a car driving down the road with the roof down heading to the beach. The song talks about having a good time so we wanted to show us being worry-free and having fun.      There is no exact costume to wear for a music video. What we wear will depend on the type of music that is featured. For example, if we were to do  Time of Our Lives , we would be in casual attire such as t-shirts and shorts or swimsuits for the beach scene.  Props also differ based on the type of music and location where the video is filmed. In this case, we would need a car with an open roof or sunroof, maybe a boombox, and beach supplie...
