Music 1: Final Task




 Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana. We have officially finished filming and editing. Today, I will just guide you through my music. First, I researched the psychological thriller genre again and concluded that it relies on engaging the viewer's emotions and intellect. So, I didn't want any soundtrack that was ominous, just suspenseful. 

Suspense is important because you also want to play with emotions, but I made sure to avoid only relying on it. I knew my plot would be the one that would play with intellect. While the suspenseful music builds it all up. 

The music I used was one I found on YouTube. It is copy-right free as the creator says to use this for your project in the description, so there aren't worries about that. With that dealt with, I added it to my project. It fit surprisingly well because there were rising parts of suspense. The music matched the plot points on the first try. 

I did choose music before which took me to the conclusion of using suspenseful music instead. I had chosen an ominous piece but it only made my video have a horror feel. It wasn't what I was aiming for. I had to stick to the genre and that is what the suspenseful music allowed for. I'm not sure this counts, but I also added a few sound effects. This enriched the feel of the video. 

See you next time bloggers!

My Intro

 Hello my name is Jose R, I am 15 years old. I am a sophomore in high school. My birthday is next month, I hope it will be one to remember. One thing I love to do is play basketball, which I am still mediocre at. I also enjoy the watching aspect of the sport, I love watching leagues like the NBA. My favorite team has to be the Milwaukee Bucks, mostly because of Giannis though. Cool guy, but my favorite player of all time is by far Kobe Bryant. His mentality is one to be remembered and is one of the reasons I play basketball so much. There’s also Dennis Rodman, also one of my favorite players of the game. His rebound ability is a symbol of determination to your craft. I really respect the sport of basketball and I love to watch it. Another hobby of mine is watching movies. Recently, I went on an entire binge watching spree of good movies and TV shows. My favorite of all of these was a show called Mr. Robot. It’s about an antisocial hacker called Elliot that tries to find his place in so

My Group for the Music Video: Alone again!!!

 Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana and I'm back with another blog. Last time we talked about myself, and I formally introduced myself and my hobbies. I also introduced the next project we have to work on. This project is a music video with a storyboard. I have begun the video, but only the song and storyline.  In this project, I have decided to work alone. I actually HAD a group, but I left after reviewing the project rubric because the video was way too much communicating. It would straight up be too time consuming to have to tell everyone to put this exactly on their blogs. Everyone was cool of course, but that's how I ultimately ended up working alone.  Even though that sounds sad, I actually love working alone. It takes so much less time and communication. It's just so peaceful to not have to check on anybody to see if they're on the same page as you, AND you get to go ahead. I really just wanted to get the project done. I even weighed out the cons of working a

Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Scene 1: The Establishing shot. It is a wide angle of my setting, a park. It's meant to show an awakening like the lyrics of this part suggest. I thought a pan would be good to use here as well. (0:00-0:06) Scene 2: A high angle shot of the desk inside my room. It's meant to show comfort because of the lack of lyrics. (0:06-0:12) Scene 3: Normal shot of a bed. This specific part of the lyrics related to having nothing, so I chose an empty bed. (0:12-0:18) Scene 4: Another normal shot, this time the lyrics are saying "It's too far behind to see." This lyric relates to time, a clock is appropriate. (0:18-0:24) Scene 5: This one is a long shot of a natural setting and myself. It's meant to capture nature, and the long shot makes it seem boundless and showing of everything. This related to what the lyrics of this part suggest, "I can show you everything." (0:24-0:30) Scene 6: This part is more related the meaning of the whole song, which one is the unde
