Music


    Gaining the right to copy right to a song honestly is a bit of a headache. The creator we originally wanted to feature was surpassingly hard to reach out about obtaining the right to copy righted material. The song we originally wanted to use is called Aline by Jarvis Cocker a British singer/song writer who began his career in 1978. Before putting out solo work he was in different bands throughout is career. Aline is a song entirely in French. We believed that it would be a good fit for our short film because the Vampires do know the language. However the song would work nicely after being put over the time where the vampires waltz . One very notable part of his career was playing the lead singer in “Wired Sisters” band in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Mary attempted to look for a way to contact the artist however was unsuccessful in her efforts and may have accidentally contacted the BBC.... how is happened well Jarvis Cocker had a Sunday Show on BBC which had an email contact.

    After finding another email and never receiving a response from either of the emails it was time to find a plan B. Mary watched a video on how we could possibly buy the right to the song, the website was called LICKD this website had hundreds of song you could purchase a copy-write to. The only thing wrong with this was that this website did not have the song we wanted to use. It took a lot of searching and headaches before finally finding something we could use. Elena found a website called slip.strea . This website advertises royalty free music for creators for free. Which was exactly what we needed. When we found this website we both had to look through the thousands of songs to find one that fit. Happy to announce that we did eventually find a song we both agreed fit with the scene we needed it for! The song is called the heart knows.

Music makes or breaks a Film

     I believe that the most important concept to a film's success is its film score. Without music to properly capture the suspense, excitement, and mood of the story, audiences would never resonate with the emotions of the film. For our film, we wanted the last 30 seconds to include a powerful music score. The music would take place after the two detectives wrestle on the ground and highlight the mystery of who shot who. As the camera pans up at the tress, I wanted a song that captures the peacefulness of the treetops while still being a little mysterious. As the camera pans up to reveal that Detective Reynolds survives, the screen will cut black and the credits will be shown as the music still plays. The music should be able to show the audiences shock and resolution with the plot.      Searching for music is harder than talking about it. I knew that there was no way of getting a popular song with royalties in our film. Because of this, I started to look...

AND ACTION!

     Day 2 of filming occurred on Wednesday, February 28. Zane, Jason, Zeyn, and I all met up at Zane's house to finish filming. First, we had to finish the car scenes before we moved to the scenes in the park. I stood outside while they drove past me to get the establishing/wide shot. Then I went inside the car to film the dialogue scenes between the two detectives. At one point, Zane had to hold the camera himself to film Jason because we needed a medium shot of just Jason, and I can't position myself to film that from the backseat. Once I was done with the car scenes we parked the car in the park.       I once again got out of the car and started filming from the ground while Zane parked the car for the shot and ran out. This shot where the detective chase starts took some coordination as the car has to park first, then detective Reynolds runs out, then detective Hoffman runs out. The next set of scenes includes the detective running, which Jason co...
