Music and Title Blog: Our Choices

 As stated in a previous blog, we had decided on how we wanted our score to sound. We wanted it to build until the end with a pause in the middle. After going through a lot of songs, we finally found what we were going to use. We decided on two songs to show the lightened mood in the beginning and the dramatic turn it takes. Both songs we decided on are from YouTube. They are also royalty-free so they can be used without permission from the artist. The beginning song is called "Pool Party" and has no artist. Our dramatic song is titled "Serious Documentary" and the artist is not stated as well. However, it is published by JMFX. The first song is used for around 20 seconds while the second song is used for the remainder of the movie. 



As for titles, I previously mentioned that we wanted to keep it simple and light to contrast with what was going on in the background. The titles would be pretty but evoke an ominous emotion for the audience. This is because of the simple titles with the dramatic music. We decided to draw inspiration from our website to make our titles. They are all white and the font is Courier New. I also changed it so that it would be bold, but not Courier New Bold. We also put titles on different parts of the screen in order to not distract the audience from what is happening in the movie. They are also in different places so that the wouldn't blend into the background of the film. The titles fit into the first two minutes of the movie. This is right when the audience starts to watch Grace's life after already going through Salem and Chloe.
