Production Blog: Music

My group and I have worked very hard to contact people who made the music we would like to use for our final task. We contacted Tate McRae and Hailee Steinfeld through my Instagram account and Hannah's as well. I contacted Tate on January 31st the first day my group and I met together. This is because we wanted to give Tate enough time to respond. After a while, we started to worry, so Hannah decided to message Tate as well as Hailee on February 23rd. My group and I chose to message Hailee as well because we also thought one of her songs would be a good fit for our thriller themed final task. Hailee's song would be our one of our back up plans in case Tate does not respond. We wanted to raise the chances of receiving a response back, so we took this action. We are currently concerned on whether they will respond back or not though since they haven't already. This is because our music will be needed sooner than later, so we need to have a second plan. This is also, because it has been a while since we messaged them. My group and I understand that it will take a while for a response back. However, we just want to be prepared in case it doesn't go how it was suspected. Therefore, we created a backup plan just in case we do not receive a response back. My group and I have begun looking for Royalty Free music that we can use. We have found a few options already. However, we will still continue to search for money songs. Hopefully, we receive a message back from one of the two girls. My group and I have faith in our plans! And if that does not work, we are prepared for changes!

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...

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 ...
