Production Blog: Free Music


While finishing up my editing process I realized that I made a lot of changes to my film. Mainly because I got carried away and recorded too much footage. My time limit is two minutes and I was way past that. I only kept necessary clips into my film. Also, some scenes didn't make sense to the plot and I realized I would make my audience confused so I cut it out. Most things don't work out in the end so it's best to change it so everything can work out perfectly.

 Moreover, I realized that I didn't check to see if the music I planned on adding to my video isn't royalty-free. I figured it would be too much trouble to switch around my whole soundtrack on such short notice but it's better than getting a copyright strike. So, I made sure to find royalty-free music only. At first, I was skeptical; I didn't think I would find any good free music. However, I was far from right. There were so many good options that it was hard to pick just one at times. Most of the things I found definitely deserve to make some type of money from it. The royalty-free music is the best. There were so many options and there was surprisingly better than the ones I had beforehand. Even though there was a chance that my music was royalty-free beforehand; I don't regret changing my new choices. Overall, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Now all I have to do is to watch my movie until I notice any mistakes I've overlooked. My project is pretty much done and I'm excited to turn it in. Of course, after I get my family to watch it and give me feedback. I hope they like it as much as I do!

Genre Research: Drama

  Before hand, I did extensive research on the drama genre. I did this in attempts of finding the perfect genre to use in my final draft. What's so cool about drama movies is that, many films fall under this genre. Moreover, conventions in drama movies are very broad. Movies that are considered action, adventure, or even comedy can also have drama aspects in it. The genre is just extremely broad and its so much you could do with it. The powerpoint attached is a project I did featuring common elements used in dramas. Not only did I have to research these common elements but I used my experience from watching movies from this genre to help me out. Naturally, I lean more into liking drama movies. So you could say I have some sort of bias toward this genre but I'm not sure if I want to use it. I think it wouldn't be the right genre for the type of movie I was planning to do.  Dramas tend to focus on the dialogue because the storyline/plot has to be really dominant in these movi

Title Research: Zodiac

Image
   This is from the website "Art of the Title":  www.artofthetitle.com What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The name of the actors. The directors and producers. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The opening sequence is showing the life of the apparent, main character. Also, his surroundings so the view of the city and where he works. We get a good view of the office. What connotations do these images carry? We see that he's a dad and that he's pretty content with his job. Although, he seems like he doesn't have any friends. This is a neutral connotation. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Thriller movies keep the audience guessing. I assume things like where he works and what city he resides in, are significant to the plot. Maybe a little bit of foreshadowing.  What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? The movie is starting off pretty calm and it introduces t

Planning for my CeraVe commercial

  Props: The props will include the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, silicon facial cleanser/massager, a mirror, laptop, and water. Costumes:   The subject would wear white apparel and have a bare clean face to properly display the product. The subject won't be shown too much because the main focus is the product. Schedule:  - October 20, 2020, I gathered research about the conventions of skincare commercials by watching advertisements of various skincare brands and made note of the reoccurring themes.  - October 22, 2020, I planned out what I should wear in my commercial and the necessary props that should be in it.  - October 23, 2020, I will speculate on how I want my commercial to look like. Starting on the storyboard should help this process. - October 26, 2020, I will finish the storyboard and put together the whole script of my commercial. - October 27, 2020, I will start and finish recording my commercial. - October 28-29, 2020 I will edit my video and add all the necessar
