Music plans did not work out

After months of being hopeful that someone was going to reach out about the music, my group and I are left without an answer. None of the musicians we reached out to have gotten back to us about being able to use their music. Now that the deadline for this project is approaching closer and closer, we are left with no choice but to use royalty-free music. I am quite sad about this because I was really excited to get to use songs made by a popular artist. I felt that this would really put our project over the top. However, I guess sometimes things don't go the way you had planned. While this wasn't our original plan, we can still do our best to work with what we have. I already had some songs in mind from a couple months ago. I made sure to start looking for some royalty-free music just in case we ended up not getting a response. Good thing I did, or I would be left with just about nothing right now. At the very least, I have some sense of direction when it comes to where to go now that I have to use royalty-free music. I know some very good websites to use, such as uppbeat.io. Also, I already know my way around them, since I have already looked through them before. I am trying to find as many royalty-free music websites, but many of them require subscriptions. I don't feel that paying for a subscription is really necessary because I likely won't use this music after I'm done with the project anyway. However, I have managed to find some free websites like stock.adobe.com and pixabay.com that have a variety of music that I think I can use. I have already found new songs that I might like to use for our project. I am going to compile a list of maybe ten songs that I feel would match our film well. Then, I will show them to my group mates for their opinions. We will discuss which ones are the absolute best for our film and go from there.

Plans Gone Wrong

Image
My group and I were supposed to start filming at minimum one day this weekend. My team and I had planned to get started on our film and finish at least a couple of the first clips. If not, it would at least provide a feel for how filming is going to go. Unfortunately, this was not able to be successfully done. It soon came up that my peers and I had previous commitments that weekend, which were not able to be postponed. For example, my mom told me when I got home that we would be visiting my friend out of state that weekend. I would be gone from that Friday night to the next Sunday morning. This left me no time to film since it would be too complicated to film on a school night. This is because I live so far away from everyone else in my group. By the time I got home from filming, I wouldn't be able to have enough time to sleep before I woke up at 6 the next morning. Therefore, I had to let my team know I couldn't make it that weekend. However, I assumed they would still be abl...

Storyboard for Time for Dinner

Scene 1: The first five seconds will show clouds going down with "...Presents" and "...Production Company."  Scene 2: The next scene is a tracking shot of a very vibrant neighborhood with the actors' names.  Scene 3: The camera gets closer to a house and shows the film's name. Scene 4: The camera goes into the house slowly. Scene 5: The camera continues throughout the house that looks very put together. Scene 6: The kitchen is a little messy-looking and says "The Music by..." Scene 7: Two girls are shown talking muted as the "Directed by.." is displayed. They are stiff.   Scene 8: Sara grabs a chair and sits as she says her first line stiffly. Scene 9: This is a close-up shot of Lynn and she says her first line very smiley. She has a lot of makeup on.  Scene 10: The camera turns to Sara as she says her next line wearing a lot of makeup. Scene 11: The camera watches closely as Sara gets out of her chair stiffly and asks Lynn if she wants ...

The Editing has Officially Begun

We finally finished filming all of the clips necessary for our film. The last couple of things we had to do included getting Nicole to record a couple more missing scenes at home with her tripod. After this was done, we were finally completely done with filming for this project. We were able to start on the editing immediately. One of the first things I did was record myself screaming. This was so I could add it in as a voice-over over one of the scenes. Before I could do this though, I had to make sure of some things. I made sure that I did it around the middle of the day when most people were awake. This is because I live in an apartment complex, so I didn't want to upset my neighbors. I also didn't want to upset my own family by yelling too early or late in the day. I also told my family to not be alarmed by my scream because I had to record it for a project and I told them to stay quiet during it so their voices wouldn't be heard in the background. I actually ended up...
