Music Design




Since the schedule of last week has been delayed, the other parts of production that can be done without participants are now being accomplished this week. One of those parts of production is music. To be clear, my music choice had been selected from the start of the project. However, I did expect for there to be some issues with music choice, especially when it came to scene 4, when the sad music starts. My choice for all the music in this opening sequence was going to come from "insaneintherainmusic." When getting started on the music design, however, there were some issues concerning copyright and whether his music would fit the theme of my opening sequence. First of all, "insaneintherainmusic" makes covers of real video game soundtracks, which are technically the property of another company. In general, these video game companies do not strike against cover artists, however it is still their property. Since there may be some ambiguity in the area of copyright, I have decided to use copyright free music for my thriller opening sequence. Another reason I have made this decision was the genre choice of the opening sequence. Since the project will be the opening of a thriller, it would be appropriate to use the conventional thriller sounds, such as unsettling noises. Given that the music of "insaneintherainmusic" is derived from video games, it may be difficult or impossible to find a song made by this creator that fits my criteria. Most video game songs are inspirational, fast-paced, and would likely not fit into a thriller movie, unless it was during an action scene. Since my opening sequence does not contain these, it would not make sense to pursue music made by this creator. So, using websites like youtube I am going to acquire this copyright free music, and for right now I am planning to use two songs. The first song I am using is from a youtube video called, "Film Noir Background Music for Videos I Noir Jazz Playlist I No Copyright Music." This will be used in scene 4, illustrating the sadness of the worker. This song will end abruptly when the lights go out in scene 6. Then, after the lights go out, the second song of my choice will start, and the second one is called "Sin - Cinematic Thriller Trailer music - Background Music(Royalty Free Music)," and it will fulfill the convention of fearful music within my opening sequence.

Genre Research: Run

  "Run" is a movie that features a disabled teenage girl, running from her mother who kept her in isolation. This movie uses soft and low lighting, setting a dark, uninviting setting. It is common for thriller movies to have these things, due to their ability to drown out any form of happiness and make the scenes of the film unsettling. It is most noticeable by the audience because colors will be desaturated, environments will be dark, and shadows will carry a crucial part of the scene. I plan to use these features in my opening sequence, as it will help the audience ensure that this is indeed a thriller film. Also, with the premise of a loud noise, possibly a monster, occurring in the early scenes of the movie, my hope of creating an ideal environment for this premise will be accomplished by this camera work. Although I do not particularly like low lighting and desaturated colors, due to its foreboding presence, there are a few conventions of "Run" that I do enjoy....

Introduction

         My name is Jacob Pineiro, an eleventh grade student attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I have been interested in the film industry for quite some time now, and this is one of the reasons I enrolled in the AICE Media Studies class. While I do not intend to pursue a career in this industry, I have always found the film industry interesting for a few reasons. One of them being that, contrary to popular belief, editing and scene selection takes quite some time, and the "filming" process is not the entire production process. To me, film and media take an important role in everyday life. More important than most people think. To understand this more, I took AICE Media Studies. So far, in the class we have produced two projects, one a commercial, and one a music video. These have been the most academic experiences with film I've had, and I have learned many things about the production process. In this project, I hope to have the same experience. Although t...

Changes Made From My Film Review

Image
 In my last blog, I discussed the process of editing and revising my project. The rest of this process is still going to be explained, however I am going to use this blog to explain something I did recently. As I have discussed before, the opening sequence was reviewed by a friend of mine, and they were able to give me some insight as to how fix my film. With this blog, I would like to explain what I did to correct the issues that were found in my project. The rest of the editing process will still be explained, however I am excited to express the changes made to my project. The first issue that I had to correct was the audio. With the feedback given, I was now aware that my project needed to have the song placed in a different scene. This was an easy change, as I could just slide the song via drag and drop into the place I wanted to. Unlike the music video, there is not much use in lining up the scenes to the audio, so the song could be in whichever position I chose. After doing t...
