Finding the Right Music


 

To begin my editing process, I first began to look for music to fit into my film. I did a web search of film music with no copyright, but later decided to do a lengthy search through YouTube. After browsing through multiple versions of noncopyrighted music I found that most of the songs were EDM. The music I wanted to incorporate in my film wasn’t meant to be EDM. After not finding many other variations I just decided to stick with EDM and try to achieve the sound that was closes to what I expected. In order to save space, I saved all the music I planned to use in my film by liking the video. I will later download the music by first converting it in a YouTube converter and downloading as an mp3 file. Since I won’t be using all of the music in each video, I will take the downloaded music and upload into my audio editor. I will find a way to upload all the sounds in the video into one track to play throughout the entire film. Other sounds that can’t be produced in the original video like barking and the ping of a text message will also be uploaded into the sound editor. The editor I’ll be using is the Wave Pad audio editor. Before combining the sounds, I will measure the specific amount of the sound I need and cut it to fit into the film. The audio I decided to use for the opening scene is a non-copyright audio called Beach. It ironically will be played along with the first scene which was initially planned to be filmed at the beach. For the rest of the scenes, I decided to use an audio titled Sad Background Music. The music itself isn’t sad throughout its entirety and has a few rising points. The rising points can be manipulated in the audio editor to fit each scene. The editor allows you to add features and effects to the sound and using these devices will allow me to change the music to best fit my film. The account the music is under is called Free Vibes and it provides free music with multiple themes. If I find I need a new variation of music I will go back to the specific account. For now, I will subscribe to the account and like the video I plan on using.

Planning for my Mr. Split Banana's Commercial

Image
  I plan to use multiple conventions in my commercial, but I will mainly focus on the common conventions of the action genre. I decided to do my genre project and interview on action, so I feel I am most familiar with action and can utilize it the best. I will use multiple conventions of action from lighting to even common sounds. In my project I plan to advertise a brand of bananas called Mr. Split. The brand will turn the common fruit into an admired superhero known as Mr. Split. Mr. Split banana stealers that take the enjoyment and deliciousness of bananas away from innocents. Slogan: “Mr. Split bananas! Full of energy to rid the world of all evil doers inside and out.”   Location There will be two locations: my house and the park down the street. Due to the pandemic there aren’t a lot of places I can travel to do this commercial, so I’ll just have to use the resources closest to me. The park is being used because of the large amount of space and the house is used to ...

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
                                                   In general, music videos contain multiple components that deliver the lyrics of the song through a visual outlook. Common conventions in a music video are long shots, close ups, and mid shots. Close ups are most common out of the three, as it is the clearest way to deliver the emotions of a character in a music video as well as to help the audience understand the plot of the video better. Since this is a music video there will be a lack of dialogue and therefore a lack of context, which will have to be made up for through the facial expressions and actions of those in the video which can be best captured through close ups. Not all music videos tell a story but regardless, close up shots remain very common. Tilts, tracking, and pans are among the many camera movements that can be found in a music video.  ...

Filming Mr. Split Commercial: My Brother Steals the Show and my Pocket Money

Image
  Today (October 29, 2020) I decided to film the first 3 scenes of my commercial (storyboard boxes 1 through 3). After much begging, and a unreasonable payment, I finally got my brother to join me in filming and to play a few characters. I bribed him into being the banana stealer and Mr. Split, but once the later scenes like the fighting scene occurs, my youngest brother will remain as Mr. Split while my oldest brother will take over the role of banana stealer. Since the scenes were simple, I did not encounter many problems, but there were a few problems with the props. Since I had free time and my brother was in a good mood, I wanted to get the filming done today, but by the time I chose to film the bananas began to rot. It's not as noticeable in the video but I was still disappointed about it. I also fell through with the banana stealer’s costume, as he was supposed to be wearing all black including black sunglasses. I couldn't find any black glasses, so I had to go to an alt...
