Production Blog: Music Overview

Image
My group and I have not been able to meet up yet to film the first part of our movie. We have decided to schedule it for a later time since we all have busy schedules these days. Therefore, this first blog I am writing will be about the music we agreed on for the background of our film and how we chose it. To begin with, there were a multitude of options to pick from. It was very difficult coming to one final song. However, we found this was the creepiest and spin-chilling sound of them all. We had an entire list of the songs we had in mind. Some included Slendy's Lullaby, Chloe's Lullaby, and I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire. I had given these ideas, plus Tiptoe Through The Tulips. We all agreed this one, Tiptoe Through The Tulips, would be our best bet in making our soon-recorded film scary. Furthermore, my group and I had also observed and listened to examples of horror music in movies to see what would go best with ours. I had also heard one of my friends say that ...

Production Blog: Final Editing

Image
After reviewing my film multiple times I came to the realization that we needed more seconds. After filming a bit more to reach our two minutes, it was time to finalize our editing. The first thing I did was put everything into the application I've been using this whole time, CapCut. This software has helped my group and I tremendously throughout the editing process.

Once I did this, I corrected the credits that I had placed earlier and made the font fit our horror film. We used the same font for every credit except the title since we wanted that to pop out the most. I placed transitions into the fonts so they could flow in and out of the screen. This will make the overall movie seem structured nicely and organized. Furthermore, I had to add in many sound effects to fit our shots. The first thing I inserted was the doorbell sound around the end of ...

Research: How to make a short film

Image
I found this video very resourceful since he provided a lot of tips based on different sections of a filmmaking process. I am certain this will help me in the future since I felt like I could relate to a lot of his tips. Some useful information I retained from it is important to keep my budget in mind and your resources to be realistic and know what I am working with. Moreover, another relevant tip that he mentioned that I had never thought of before, is that my first instinct is what my audience is expecting, so I should go the other way. On the same topic, he highlighted the importance of letting theme and tone guide my story, as they will shape it and help me build it if I respect them in accordance with movement, angles, mise-en-scene, and props. Another piece of information that really opened my eyes was his insight into sound. According to him, sound is a priority: he insists on getting the right gear if there is dialogue in the film. If sound gear is not available, he recommends...
