Looking For Songs/Sounds To Edit With

 Unfortunately the owners of the song, Spirits In The Material World, did not get back to me. Now I have to find royalty free music to use in my film. I started looking at my favorite website, YouTube's Audio Library. I found many potential candidates to use for the scene where Blair is walking to Avery's room with her headphones in. But I found two that I really enjoyed. They are called "Circle Dance" and "You Should". I was looking for an upbeat, electronic vibe song because that how I want Blair's music personality to portray her as. I found them by imputing filters like: Funky, Dance & Electronic, and Pop. I put them both on my editing software and played it with the film to see which one I liked best. I decided I like "You Should" better because it has more of a mysterious sound to it which fits the genre more. I had to adjust the volume to where it was loud when Blair was walking but to quiet it down so that the audience could hear the scream. I'm still deciding if I should keep the same sound throughout the rest of the film or not. Now I need to find a somewhat scary/eerie sounding song for the beginning of the film. I added the filters: Ambient, Cinematic, Dark, and Dramatic. I found this one that was very fitting its called "Switched on Carcassi" and it has some electronic tones yet dark deep beats. I added it to the editing software and I loved it. But then I had a problem of the transition between that song and "You Should". I don't know if I should scrap "You Should" or find a way to create a smooth transition. After that I tried finding a stabbing sound effect but the YouTube Audio Library didn't have it oddly. I had a very hard time trying to find free sound effects. I think I might just make one myself at home and see how the quality comes out.

Last Minute Filming

Image
 Today I filmed some extra stuff for the film and some things I just forgot to film. I forgot to film the part where Avery's mother, father, and brother run to the scream that they heard. So, I filmed that. Also, I forgot to film the bit where Avery's mom calls 911. So I filmed that with a close up of her calling. Previously when I was editing I noticed my film was running short. To fix this, I filmed a part where Avery's dad shakes hands with the detective. I think I will end the film with that clip. Another way to fix this is I filmed a part where Avery walks and sits down at her desk and starts writing. Hopefully this will make my film the right size. The filming process was fairly easy. I had to make sure the set was the same. To do this I cleaned the room we filmed in. It was, however, a struggle to get my actors together. Whenever Sebastian wasn't busy Izzy was. And vice versa. I had to create a group chat so they they could situate when they were both not busy. T

Finalizing My Film

 I have finally finished. I am so happy. I've watched it over and over again. I think of myself as a perfectionist. I think my film is as perfect as it can be. There are some flaws but it's too late now to fix them. I showed my sister and she pointed out some things. However, I couldn't really fix them because it would require me to re-film. They weren't that noticeable though. This has been a long, yet fun journey. But it also caused me some stressed. I'm just glad it's basically over. Although now I'm nervous about my CCR. But hopefully it will be fine. I did some last editing today to make it better. I made the lettering bold on my titles. I also played with the sound/volume to make it smoother and not too loud. I also tried to find a sound effect of blowing out a candle. But I had no luck. I think it's fine silent because it adds to the suspense. It has been an amazing and educational ride. I think I am going to start filming and editing more because
