Production Blog- Music

 A significant part of a good film is the soundtrack. I just realized we haven’t gotten any music for the final task. I’m sure the same rules from last year apply to now. It has to be royalty or copyright free to avoid any legal issues. That’s pretty annoying, but I guess it makes sense. The good thing is we have an idea of the type of music we want to use. That’s because it’s in the script, which makes finding music easier since we have a description of it. I always thought that finding things on the internet is always super easy, but I thought wrong. Last year, when I needed to find music for my first final task, it proved to be more difficult than what I expected. A lot of videos on YouTube claim to be copyright free, but it’ll end up not actually being that. This is so frustrating, especially when I’ve found a good sound. I really don’t want to have to jump through hoops and email an artist for permission. Most of the time they never even respond or see it at all. One thing I do know is that there is a particular artist who is always reliable for copyright free sounds. Kevin MacLeod, a legend amongst the YouTube meme community. The one elevator song he made is so well known and used in a lot of videos, and he has countless songs posted. I’m sure that if I search hard enough, I’ll find good music for the film. Right now, we need some sort of jazz music. There’s other scenes that’ll require different music. Tomorrow we will discuss that more and kind of make a plan for the soundtrack.

Production: Script/Screenplay

 My script doesn't have much dialogue whatsoever. It actually only has two lines where the characters speak. The point of the lack of speech in the script is to create a sense of mystery and suspense. I want whoever is watching to be confused as to what's happening. This will have them wondering what this suspicious character is about to do. I will copy and paste my script here so that you can read it. INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DUSK To establish the scene, Character 1 is seen setting up the Christmas tree.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - ACROSS THE STREET - DUSK  Character 2 stands menacingly outside Character 1's house, with the objective to enter.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - THE BACKYARD - DUSK Character 2 decides to enter through the back where they will not be seen. They jump the fence, their identity remaining obscured INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - KITCHEN/DINING ROOM - DUSK Character 1 is seen preparing something in the kitchen, seemingly unawa...

Our Pitch

 Pitch 1: Long lost twins find each other after being switched up at birth Pitch 2: Millionaire leaves his wife for someone else under the assumption that she's poor, but she turns out to be the richest person in the world I probably wouldn't be interested in doing the first plot. This is because it's super basic, just very cliche. To be honest, me and my partner haven't had the chance to discuss anything. We just agreed to come up with random plots then mutually agree on one. But the first plot I definitely wouldn't pick, only because of how unoriginal it is. Pitch 2 is more interesting to me personally, so I would most likely pick this one. These kinds of dramas are also common, but they're just way more entertaining. It's also really enjoyable, and with the right technique, you can make it more unique than other dramas. The inspiration for me choosing this pitch came from those webtoons and the short story video apps. I actually like this one a lot more, ...
