Music

 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. This is because it would take a while to get the licensing, and because it may be difficult for big organizations or groups of people to talk to just one small group of people filming. This shows the difficult of getting sound or music in real life filmmaking processes such as movies. The music we did use however, for the first scene was free music that I played through my phone to add to that aspect of being “just a lazy teenager scrolling through his phone.” Every sound effect or audio we used were also gotten off YouTube. Which I searched up for free, suspenseful, thriller audios. My other friend that did editing mainly worked on this. But I was there to help with suggestions and when to input the audio into scenes. For example, we wouldn’t have wanted audio on blast playing while the main actor is speaking. This is because it would ruin the tension. A solution to this was to either lower the volume of the music or cut it off fully for that shot. Uploading the music was also another challenge. This was due to having to download it from YouTube, which I had to find an external source for. Because I don’t have YouTube premium, I cannot download videos straight from YouTube. Me and my group worked together to find a reliable site that would allow us to download and upload the music file to our film with no copyright. This was it for my portion of helping out with the music.

Editing Blog: Music and fixing

Image
For the editing, I helped out a lot in the music portion. First, me and my group mates met on a call, and we began to discuss what we should add, or fix for the commercial. As I said, my portion was pretty much the music and fixing any bugs or glitches in the film. I had to make sure that the music would fit the overall theme and tone of the commercial. This ended up being a more intense and dramatic music to fit the commercial. I then had to make sure the music fit the overall pacing and different shots of the commercial. This way a really intense part of the music wouldn't play for just me doing something simple like setting up the ball. Other than this, I made sure that the music would cut off at certain moments where we needed the audio to be emphasized.  I also made sure that it fit within the time frame of the commercial and wouldn’t go over the time we needed. I sent my group mates around 3 different choices of music for the commercial. One of them being lighter and more upb...

Our Storyboard

  Scene 1:   The camera is looking down at the ground. The ground is bare, and there’s little movement.  Scene 2:   The camera shifts to show someone setting a soccer ball with their foot. The ball is placed carefully as the camera lingers on it for a moment.  Scene 3:   A close-up of player 1, who is visibly sweaty, emphasizes their exhaustion. Audio of player 1 breathing heavily plays in the background.  Scene 4:   The audio bridges into the next shot. The next shot is from player 1’s point of view, looking at the goalkeeper (player 2). This shot is at a Dutch angle, adding tension and unease. The camera's movement is unstable, mimicking player 1’s disoriented state. There are blurring effects to further emphasize that player 1 is dehydrated.  Scene 5:   An eye-level shot is taken from player 1’s side. A whistle blows, signaling a timeout. Player 1 is thrown a bottle of Gatorade from behind the camera. They cat...
