 Hello and welcome back! It is now time for the editing of my final task! What I have started doing is trying to find music and background sounds to fit into the opening sequence. The part that is bothersome is not being able to use just any music I want in the opening sequence. If there is a certain song I would want but it has lyrics and is owned by a singer, then I would have to personally reach out to the singer and ask for permission to use the song in my film. I do not want to go through the struggle because sometimes the artists never reach back to you. I am going to have to start finding royalty free music meaning that it is not owned by anyone and everyone can use it. I am planning to find this royalty free music on YouTube. I will try to find music that can be suspenseful and creepy. There are several options but they need to be cut down and I need to figure out where each sound clip will go in the opening sequence. Harley, Omnia and I are going to be the main editors and Marlo will also help with thing that I need. The editing platform that is being used for this final task is CapCut. CapCut is perfect for editing because mostly everything is free and the platform is very good when it comes to having to use transitions, cuts, music, etc. It is currently Sunday, April 9, and all editing should be complete by Wednesday, April 12. Talk more about the process next time!

Short vs. full length film research

  BLOG 1: Comparing 9, the short film, and the full-length movie  Hey Blogg, our group will be discussing the short version of the film "9" and the full-length version along with comparing both of them.  Short film version: None of our group members had ever seen this movie and seeing it for the first time it was different, unlike something we had ever seen before. First off, there was no dialogue throughout the whole film. This causes us to pay even more attention to what was happening throughout the film to better understand what was going on. For this specific short film, the plot was less obvious and required higher thinking skills as all that is given are the scenes. We understood the plot at the nearing the end of the movie. Our interpretation of the plot was that in a desolate setting that looked like a landfill site, the film begins with scenes of 9 crafting objects from scrap metal. As the title screen fades, 9 is found sitting around the remnants of a broken w...

    Short film reasearch: ( The Last Note/Mystery) Hey blogg. Today we will be discussing an award-winning mystery short film called "The Last Note" and pointing out different features within this film.

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

  The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...
