Production Blog: Music

   Hey blog, I am back. In the time I was gone, I was doing heavy research on the music that was going to overlay the Final Task. I used many sites, but deciding to stick with what I knew best, once again. This happened to be YouTube. I looked up royalty free music, and the went from there with the genre of the music. In order to fit the basis of our video, I went with spine chilling music, that still allowed room for some light hearted aspects. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being consistent beat, almost like a clock and the other building suspense in sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision, my team members and I came to a consensus and chose the second one. My reasoning behind this choice, was simple, it fit the plot of our story better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear sound effects. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect I was looking for. As my video, goes on, it continues to build on the previous shot. Each one becoming more and more eerie, until the final shot. This is when the music comes to a halt. This is so the audience anticipates something greater than what is going to happen, eventually adding a sense of comic relief. Picking the music was a time consuming process, but in the end it will only benefit our video. By the time I see you next, I hope to have everything inserted and peer reviewed. But, until then!
