 Hello guys and welcome to my blog once again! Last time we went over the many changes made to the film after the review done by our peers. This time, I will be going over the music portion of the film. Music is very important to our film, and I have briefly talked about it in my past blogs. As of right now, we haven’t used any music or sound that requires licensing.

However, I did find that in the final clip it looked too bright. Therefore, I turned down the exposure on that to give the atmosphere a darker look. Next was the sound that my friends gave their opinion on. They stated that, “Sounds seemed missing.” This is important to us because thrillers are reliant on creating an a...
