Production Blog: Titles, Sound, and Lighting!!

    I finished my two tasks from the last blog. I remember mentioning that by Sunday, March 7th, I would have completed my titles for my movie, as well as the music requirements. I decided my font and animation for my titles very vaguely in my blog, but I took the time this weekend to finalize these details. I had the font and color for my titles picked out, as well as the actual titles I would use. I decided that the order I would display my titles will be in the order they are listed. I also did some quick math in my head to establish the fact that I would like my titles to be played in the last 30 seconds of my opening sequence. Since I have 12 titles, I can separate them into groups of 2. This will mean I now have 6 "titles" or groups, which I can divide into 5 sections in order for them to fit into the 30 second frame. Now, I will have two titles appear on the screen for 5 seconds each. Once again, I don't want to animate them into my movie so that they don't take away from the film itself.
    As far as music goes, I wanted to find a royalty free song to use in order to avoid any risk of not getting the rights to music. I did some research and ended up finding a youtube video that allowed you to upload his music through these policies. 


    It sounds like all I have to do is give him the credit for his music, which I 100% will do!  This music is the kind of mellow, calm suspenseful scary music I need in my film. I will only fade this music in and out of my film. I will include the link for my music here: https://youtu.be/MS6dhZc6uac. My next two tasks will be to start filming my movie and to establish my lighting. My film takes place at night, but if I film at night, the audience wont see anything but darkness. I will need to find a way to keep the lighting low-key, but still have a way to film my characters. I might look into buying a ring light!!
