Music!!- Production Blog


 Hey Guys!! Today were gonna be talking about our process for choosing the music for our film. 

We decided pretty unanimously not to attempt to ask permission to use copyrighted music. It would be tedious and far too risky, considering all the timing problems we have been having. So we will be using instrumental music as background music for the video.

Picking out the genre was easy. Our goal was something fun, yet unsettling, so our audience can feel that something bad is will happen. Country music was an immediate no. Despite its subjective  obnoxiousness, it upbeat tone would go with the horror theme. A pop song would be far too happy, unless it transitioned into a creepier song. But one which is entirely eerie would fit a more Sci-Fi theme.

Picking out the specific music was much harder. There were so many great songs brought up in discussion, yet each path eventually led to a path of copyright issues. But eventually, we found the perfect track. It was called Celtic, Medieval, Tavern Music by Relaxation Harmony on YouTube. It had various songs made by several artists. This variety will allow for the flexibility for us to choose which music works for each part of our video.

Stay tuned for any updates on our journey. See you guys next time!!

Research for my Music Video

 Hey Guys!! Today I will be discussing some music videos which are similar to what I would like to do for mine. As I said in my previous blog, I would like to do a pop song with a rom com type of feel, and I tried to keep this in mind when researching music videos.  Lovefool by The Cardigan This music video follows the storyline of a young woman pining after a man. It includes many scenes of her gazing at him while the camera zooms in on a ditch angle, something that definitely adds to the story and that I plan on reacreating.  Wusyaname by Tyler the Creator  This music video also includes a man pining after someone, except a bit more literal. In the video, he follows this girl around, attempting to convince her to give him a chance, while she seems uninterested and tries to walk away.  Lacy by Olivia Rodrigo  This video is a lyric video which writes out the lyrics ion a paper surrounded by cute stickers. Although there is no storyline, the visual effects o...

Title Research - Art of the Title

Image
  After the holidays I am ready to begin researching for our final task again. This time around we needed to identify websites to research titles on. A quick look on google provided an overwhelming amount of links for all sorts of websites. Some websites were good, some websites were bad. Art of The Titles was the first website I came across that looked promising. Instead of just another article or film discussion forum rambling on and on about how much they liked the titles, this website lets you watch the clip of movies with the titles in them. Since this website is dedicated to the title design alone, it houses examples that have artistic and well thought out title placements.  The next website I came across on my search to find one more so we can have all the title research we could possibly need, I found Watch The Titles. After Art of The Titles, I knew we wanted a more interactive website so that we can actually see examples of well done title art and not just hear about...
