I've Got the Music!

  Throughout the process of this project, music has always been a problem. Party music is obviously needed. But, finding music that fits is difficult. First, things needed to be sorted out in terms of copyright. First my partner and I needed to agree on what song(s) we would want and how we would contact the artists of these songs in order to avoid copyright infringement. Once that was figured out, we needed to contact them. Personally, every artist I contacted did not respond. This is also true for my partner. No matter what each of us did. Copyrighted music was not an option. The only thing left to do was find music that could be freely played in the background of the project that would not set off any alarms. This lead to looking to YouTube for songs that fit the criteria. Both of spent collective time researching songs that could possibly be used. Only problem was finding something that would fit the vibe trying to be achieved. We stumbled upon a playlist with a collection of un-co

Editing Software Decision

For this project, filming has not yet begun. Many factors have come into play that have prevented filming. For me this includes doing after school activities that are very time consuming. Some of these activities being marching and concert band. In my spare time though, I have messed around with some editing software. These would include Lightworks, Videopad, Widows Video Editor, and iMovie. In the past, I have used iMovie to edit projects, but I wanted to make sure that it was the best software I could be using.

  Box 1: We start with a medium-long shot showing the two main characters, Chris and Jacob, inside the bathroom. The scene will introduce the boys. It will also have diegetic sound of someone knocking on the door and divulge of Chris saying occupied. This scene will also show the name of our studio non-integrated. Box 2: This will continue on in the bathroom location. the dialogue between the boys will be as follows:  Jacob-Are you sure about this?  Chris-Dude, this is gonna make us legends. If this works, our names will go down in history.  Jacob-if you say so. This scene will say the name  of our production company non-integrated. Box 3: After reassuring Jacob about the party being a good idea, Chris walks up to him, holds his hand out , and pulls him to a standing position. All of these scenes will continue in a medium long shot. Box 4: This will show a closeup of the boys' doing their handshake. They then will more than likely say some sort of catch phrase that is to be determi
