Editing Blog: Adding Music and Titles

We have continued to edit through the holiday break. It took a couple days to get the clips blended, but we finally got through it all. After watching the movie all the way through, we moved on to titles and music. Both of these details are crucial when trying to show the audience emotion. Since we hadn't done any research on titles for this movie, we decided to visit resources from last year. The two websites we used were watchthetitles.com and artofthetitle.com. We also used our knowledge of movies we've seen and/or analyzed in the past. The genre of our movie is drama, so we knew we wouldn't be using any crazy titles. For example, a red title with dripping blood wouldn't be considered for our movie. Since our movie is more of an emotional or sad movie, we thought about having a title that was appealing, but may be ominous. Examples of these types of movies include Seven Pounds and Terms of Endearment. Next, we moved onto the music. We previously decided that we wanted dramatic, instrumental music to play in the background of the movie. This would contribute to the building suspense of the film. We explained that there would be two pauses in music. One would be during an action match in the middle and at the end when two of the characters are trying to get the other on the floor. For right now, we found some royalty free music that fits our theme. One of the songs we found was "Pinhole" by Lance Conrad. This one was light and it built, however it may be too light-hearted for this melancholy film. We are still working on music, but are finished for now!
