Production Blog: Final Task

 


Hey guys, it's you favorite blogger coming in with a new blog!

Today I began the search for the background song for the opening sequence of the film. I started this journey on one of the most well -known searching platforms which in other words mean google.

When looking for a song I had to take into consideration the civil law on copyright and the best way to avoid it. So, before I began my search, I made sure to read up on copyright situations that may occur with using a song. I had to make sure I knew exactly what it was I would come up against. I did some research on what the difference was between a royalty - free song, a public domain song, and regular song and how it related to copyright. On my search I found out what a public domain song was and how it related to copyright. After furthering my search on this subject I decided it would be best to do a public domain song. This was because it didn't come with as many legal responsibilities when dealing with copyright.

So, as I began my search, I looked for some of the most popular mystery/suspenseful songs. Seeing as the film consisted of a script and characters talking it wouldn't make sense to use a song that of course had lyrics in it. So, I searched for non- lyric songs that would give the viewer a sense of anxiety and doom. This was so it could feed into our genre of mystery and suspense and give the viewer an idea for what our film is about. This shortened down the search a lot, but I still needed to find a song that was used for public domain.

So, as I searched up some songs an artist kept popping up, his name was David Fesliyan. I found his website which was called Fesliyan Studios, this is where I found dozens of songs that fit the chosen genre. Of course before using any of these songs, I made sure to read his policy on the usage of these songs. On his site it is said that anyone can use his songs as long as it is not for commercial use or monetizing if this is not the case than anyone can use his songs. So, after browsing some of his songs I settled on the song "Too Crazy" by Daniel Fesliyan.

Movie Research: Nerve

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?   Some conventions of the genre I chose to base my final task on that this movie has are the costumes and the shots, specifically point-of-view shots. In this movie, the characters wore a casual wardrobe for most of the movie which would make it easier on us when we begin filming to prevent as many extraneous variables as we can. This film includes multiple point-of-view shots which help the audience feel the character's suspense and create an exhilarating effect. These shots would help us create an accurate , suspenseful, exciting, and exhilarating effect on viewers.     What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked?   A convention of the genre that this movie had that I liked was the sound motifs. In this movie every time the characters that played the viewers in the movies went up it kept making a specific sound. This helps the film audience kno...

Production Blog: Music Video

Hey blog it me coming again with my last blog for this project Today I cut all the dance scene since I the music video was too long and I needed it to fit in the given time range.  Then there was the issue of the music I had some trouble getting the sound onto the music video. Since Cap cut didn't have the correct song for the music video I went to a few websites and streaming platforms to get the song. That didn't work so I had to download an app that allowed me to record the song then add it to the music video. It took a while for me to get the hang of the app since I had to record the song like three times. The first time the video wouldn't stop so it recorded and unnecessary amount of the music video. The second time I recorded the song I realize you couldn't really hear the song so I had to make a few adjustments to the app. Eventually I was able to get the song to be heard on the recording it turns out all I had to do was switch the audio setting. The third time e...

  Hello World,   My group and I got to the part of our project where we got to make a storyboard for our music video. Each box is a scene that will occur in our music video in the future, each scene will be a sequence of events.   Box 1: Justin Bieber (JB) is walking into a library with his two friends to study.   Box 2: The three boys walk into the library and JB notices that his crush is studying at the library as well. The girl was studying by herself.   Box 3: When he saw her, he was mesmerized and looked at her as if she was the love of his life. His friends don't believe that anything is going to actually happen between the two of them (the girl and JB), so one of his friends tells him that he's a fool.   Box 4: The girl is studying and minding her own business, she also doesn't notice that JB is there with his friends   Box 5: It is a split screen. On the left, it shows that the girl is studying. On the right, it shows...
