Editing the Music into the Commercial


Today, October 13, 2021, our class times were modified and were shorter than normal to accommodate testing.  However, we tried to use our class time as efficient as possible. We spent some good time making decisions about the music for the video. Our group has had divided opinions for a while as to which song would be the best fit for our video. We each shared our perspectives and why we preferred our song choice and after listening to each other's opinions, we voted and came up with something that we all agreed on. Then, Violet and I thought about creating a voiceover with the music. We discussed it with Mila and Dara decided and they liked the idea. I am glad that it worked that way, because we were able to move on with other details that needed to be considered. The song we selected is called "Tequila." The rhythm of the song seems to catch the audience's attention. We decided we wanted to try recording "Post-It!" toward the end of the song.  The idea was to cover the word Tequila and bring up our commercial topic. We spent some time recording this part several times. My group and I edited it into the commercial. We tried changing the tone of voice, the volume, the speed, among other details on Imovie. Whatever we tried, it just did not sound right. After a while, we realized that it was not an easy task as we thought it would be. So we decided to take that song and voiceover out and replace it with a different song. We went into the Imovie songs that they had suggested and found one the fit better. Even though we encountered some obstacles, in my opinion, today was a productive day.

Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal...

Music Changes

Today, we spent time picking new music. We messaged Khalid a while ago and he still hasn't seen ut. Since Khalid hasn’t answered our messages, so we didn’t to have any other artist options. My group and I didn’t think Frank Ocean would respond back or even on time. Because of that, we didn't attempt to message him. We started looking for some royalty free music. However, none of the options were good enough for our film in our opinion. We kept finding other ways that we can use so that the music would be good. Since we think music is one of the most important parts of the film. We found some potential ideas. We thought of the idea of remixing a song, so that it wouldn’t be copyrighted. We started editing the song we originally had which was "Coaster." We editing the speed and the sounds in the background to see if we can still use it. My group and I really wanted to use this song, so we are trying our best to make it work. After a lot of time, we made it possible for ...
