Production Blog: Music

 


Today I worked on gathering the music for our project. For our project I wanted a song that sounded happy and exciting. I felt as if that would pair well with one of the scenes. I think the scene where two of the actors are frantically searching for a hiding spot would work well with happy exciting music. To begin, I started searching for a song on youtube. I began searching on youtube for songs that I liked that sounded happy and exciting. I knew that it would be a lot of work to use a song that is copyright restricted so I first viewed royalty free music. Royalty free music is music that is free to use. These songs are less popular and have no music but are easier to use. The reason they are easier to use because if you want to use a more popular song that is copyright restricted, you need to get permission. To get permission, you need to contact the person who owns the rights to the song. Not only do you have to send them a message you have to wait for them to respond. Them responding might take a long time so that is an issue. So, I picked out a couple royalty free songs I liked on youtube. I did this just in case the people I contacted didnt respond in time. Then, I contacted the people who have the rights to some songs I would like to use. I will now wait for the to reply. If anyone replies, I will use their music instead of the royalty free music. All i have to do now is wait till they reply. Then, I will pick the song I feel fits the best in my project.

Research: How to make a short film

  Research: How to make a short film        The words short film are a teaser. Although the name may sound like it's an easy quick process, short films take a lot of time, effort, and energy. I learned from this video that planning is one of, if not the, most crucial of all steps in the short film making process. One of the most key takeaways in planning I got from this video is that it is crucial to write for the kind of movie you are trying to make. Now this sounded obvious until I thought about it deeper. When writing our script and planning for the creation of our movie it is key that we do not bite off more than we can chew, meaning do not try to incorporate things into our film that we know will not be possible for us to create. For example, we must make sure we do not go over budget and include pieces that will cost more than we would be willing to spend, and not writing for a cast that would include more than the people we know will be accessible t...

Filming Day!!!!!!

 My name is Luke Hamill and today me and my group finished our first day of filming our commercial. We filmed our project at a group members house. The name of the group member whos house we used was Zane Knapp. When we first got to his house we left to go film the scenes that needed to be filmed outside due to the weather being good. We didnt want to wait incase it rained. Our first location we filmed at was the park because those scenes take place outside, while playing sports at the park. Our main actor was Zane Knapp as he played the old man. We used one of the group members little brothers to be our child actor in our music video. He played in the scenes where our main character was a child. While another group member played our characters father. After we got our scenes done outside we went back to Zane's house. There we filmed the scenes that took place indoors. These scenes took place in a hospital. We then filmed the first couple scenes where the actor is the old man in th...

"The Batman" is also a really good movie that came out recently that I enjoy. My favorite show is definitely "Breaking Bad" even though it took me over a year to get through the whole thing.       As I mentioned before, I really like music. My favorite band is probably Weezer and my favorit...
