Entry #6: Mystical Music


Mood: Jammin'

Hey! After filming all the good stuff, we looked into YouTube's audio library, a place filled with copyright-free music and music that the creators have given permission for people to use. We found two possible songs that we think would create a great atmosphere in our film opening. 

The first song, called Chase Pulse Faster, is for the scenes related to the intruder breaking into the house. It will definitely add an eerie feeling to the scenes, which I'm excited about. It's so interesting to see how all of the sounds work together to convey a feeling to the viewers! Something that I loved about our footage is that the natural ambient sounds created the mysterious vibe we were going for. The creaking gate, plane flying overhead, crickets chirping, and grass moving all helped to establish the intruder's vibe.



The second song, called On the Table, is an upbeat track meant to establish the youth and obliviousness of the two teen characters. We want to use it as background music as if they were playing it themselves because it is a normal thing for teenage girls to do. We want the scene to seem as relatable and natural as possible because so many films incorrectly depict teenagers.

  1. I really love your blog and the voice that shines through it! Your titles are witty and creative and I like how you incorporate your current mood into it. Your style of writing makes me want to continue reading and look forward to the end result. Your incorporation of research is great because it is informative but at the same time it is not overwhelming to the point where it could get boring to read. I really like your film idea and how you incorporate personal experiences into your blog throughout this process (like when you were filming late at night looking like an intruder when a neighbor saw you). I am excited to see how it turns out!
