Music Clearance


 


To start off this blog, we still haven’t received an answer from Universal. We have been waiting to see if we are allowed to use their music or not. However, we do have a quick backup plan incase this one doesn’t work. In the case that we are not given clearance, we have decided that we will use non-copyrighted music straight from youtube. My group and I would also make sure that the music matches the genre of the short film for it to connect smoothly. Besides the music, we have continued to do lots of editing. We have added the music even though we are still waiting for clearance, we made the necessary cuts, and have brought our film down from 2:41 to 2 minutes. This was a very important part of the film and for a moment we forgot if we needed the film to be 2 or 3 minutes. Silly us, but luckily we got that taken care of! Anyways, the point is that editing is going smoothly for us and we are not stressing about it. I am seeing some other groups stressing because they still haven’t even filmed. I am very glad we filmed before the weekend because I am now in New York and I would be completely unavailable to do anything with my group. My group and I are on track and very paced up. I don’t feel rushed at all and I believe we are doing okay. What I believe that all we have left, is the titling sequences and productions. This is a simple task I am just waiting to get back to do it with my group since all our editing has been done together. Hopefully we can get the play from Universal for the song Lovefools because that’s really all we are waiting for. Everything else can be done quickly and simply. I get back Sunday night, but I see my group mates in class on Tuesday. This is the day that we will be working in the morning to get the last minute tweaks completed.

Editing is now going smoother than before

 Every choice we make during the 5-minute film's editing process is informed by the ideas of mise en scène and C.L.A.M.P.S. media terminologies. By placing performers, setting the tone, and arranging accessories, mise en scène enables us to craft a scene so that each frame successfully delivers our tale. Camera angles, lighting, audio, mise en scène, performance, and special effects are just a few of the C.L.A.M.P.S. media terms that enhance our editing process and give our images more nuance and significance. Our film is evolving with every cut, every component well thought out to provide a seamless and captivating story. Our audience's emotions are elicited and the proper mood is established with the aid of lighting, costuming, and set design. Furthermore, movement and camera angles improve the narrative by placing viewers at the center of the action.Excitement is in the air as the editing process approaches its conclusion. Our efforts are clearly paying off since the movie c...

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hi, my name is Sarah Kraja and I'm ecstatic to soon begin this music video. I have some experience with technology since I am always using it, and I used to edit a lot of videos for fun when I was younger. I feel like that will be very helpful for me in this class because there is a lot of recording involved throughout the rest of the year. I always liked editing and filming videos when I was with friends so I have some of the basics down already. I am already in the process of brainstorming ideas for our groups music video because of how thrilling it seems. Now I'll get into some particulars about what I generally do throughout most days in and out of school. When I'm outside of school, I go straight home either on my bus, or my parents pick me up. When I get home, I tidy up some of the main areas around my house or room and then just relax for awhile. I used to fill my days with school volleyball everyday after school, however the season is over for this year. However, I ...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Short Film: What are some of my impressions? The short film "9" is our first true exposure to Acker's creative universe. The short and to the point style of the narrative pushes a focused scope of its plot, character development, special effects, and how he goes about directing. The plot unfolds with a sense of urgency, teleporting the audience in a post-apocalyptic world extremely different from the one we live in where mechanical beasts known as "Fabrication Machines" stay. Even through a small window of time, Acker easily pushes depth into the characters, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Even as the special effects are not Marvel Universe tier, they showcase Acker's readiness to invent a visually striking environment. The directorial style is illustrated through its to the point storytelling and a touching use of symbolism, setting the stage for the full-length feature.  Full-Length Film: What are my impressions? Backpacking off the pav...
