Sound Track Choices

 Before I got to filming with my group we decided to find what sound to use. I along with my group decided to reach out to people to get permission to use their sound track. The way I decided to do this was by doing research with movies of my genre. The genre for my movie is thriller and I need sound tracks match the genre of the movie. The first movie opening scene I watched was Slender Man. While it was a great sound track for a thriller I do not think it matched what I was aiming for. After going through more and more opening scenes searching for a good soundtrack but, coming short I decided to take a diffrerent approach. I went into Spotify looked there for a good thriller soundtrack and after a bit I stumbled across a great soundtrack. The sound track that I found was Dominic Frontiere's Color of Night soundtrack. I then proceed to e-mail him for the right to use his sound track. He has not gotten back to me but in case he does not let me use that soundtrack I have a back up one. So once again I set out to find a fitting soundtrack but this time I went on YouTube. After a bit of searching I finally found one. The back up soundtrack that I found was Hans Zimmer & Harry Gregson-Williams Smilla's Sense of Snow. After deciding if I was going to use it or not I e-mailed them for permission. I am still waiting for a response to see if I will be able to use the soundtracks for my opening scene. I went over the sound tracks I chose with my group and they thought they were great. All I am waiting for is a response from one of the two people for permission to use their sound track. The reason for this is because the sound someone uses can greatly affect someone's film. I would hate it if the sound track I use negatively affect my film just because I could not use the one I wanted to.

  Planning: Props: Since our group decided to use the Airpods Pro the props that we will be using will be an iPhone and the Airpods Pro themselves. Costumes: In our commercial, we have one main character, and 2 side subjects. Our actors will wear normal/trendy clothes, they would wear items that they would wear everyday to simulate like it was just a normal day for them. The main actor will have an iPhone in hand, and an AirPod in each ear so to show them off to the viewer.  Schedule:   On 9/22/21 our group researched conventions and the background of AirPods Pro commercials. We also decided on our location list, props, costumes, backup plan, and made sure we were sticking to our schedule. We tried to get the most that we could done to make sure that on the next day of working we had enough time to get the next step done.  On 9/24/21 our group will get together to create the storyboard for our 30 second commercial. We will use this time to edit any ideas we have...

 For my final task I decided to get in a group of 3 me and 2 others. This is a change from my past 2 project where I had 3 others making it 4 in total. At first I was going to work in a 4 person group. The same group as last time which involved Keith, Monzur, and Fahim. Fahim ended up switching schools after the music video project. Instead of trying to get a 4th person we decided to stay with 3. The reason being it was much easier to coordinate and it was too much of a hassle to find a 4th member. The reason I chose Monzur is because I have already worked with him in the past. I see him everyday at school so its easy to plan out things. I have known Monzur for a long while now and were pretty close although it has not always been like this. The first time I talked to Monzur was in middle school and we hit it off. We would talk when ever we saw each other in middle school. We got even close when we got to high school I would start hanging out with him more then COVID hit. Over the ...
