Creating a “Sound” Plan

 Hey! Welcome back. As the day we plan on filming our project quickest approaches, we’ve been focusing more so on ironing out any kinks we may find along the way and how we plan on editing our project. This being said my group considered an important factor we’ve yet to talk about/ mention thus far: music. 

    Music is vital to part of our film opening in order to help encourage the contrast of mood in Gabe between when he’s playing soccer and when he’s yelling/ arguing with his parents. The bright outdoor lighting mixed with upbeat energetic music, compared to the stealthiness and upsetness created in the other scene will help further this idea and our film opening’s quality in general.

    The main downside in deciding to include music in our piece is that we have to utilize copyright free music, and although there are many options, many of these options are very cheesy, repetitive, artificial sounding background noise that would probably more so confuse the viewer rather than help aid the scene. We’ve decided that if, when we are editing our project, the music we selected isn’t up to par or advancing the project overall to just get rid of it.




    That being said, after a lot of time spent finding a bunch of sounds that have less of an artificial sound to them, meaning they build over time and develop as time goes on rather than retreating to the exact same phrase again, we’ve decided we want to try to incorporate this musical sound element into our project. The name of some of these more unique copyright free songs are “moose, high octane, and rumble” and I found them on websites such as Bensound and Adobe Stock. Although I can’t directly share what these songs/ sounds sound like with you guys through my computer, trust me in that we’ve found some of the best of the best for the very very beginning of the opening in which Gabe is playing soccer. Thanks! Stay tuned to “hear” any new and upcoming announcements.
