Music Update

*Queue the Sad Music*

So these last couple of days/ weeks have been kinda depressing. Well that might be an overreaction but its just crazy that for the first time ever I want there to be school. Its my senior year and as corny as it may sound I want to experience all my senior activities like Prom Graduation and so on (I know first world problems). However, the good news is that I have a TON of time to work on this project.

Ok but the real reason I'm kinda sad is that Brent Faiyaz never responded to Leandro and I's messages. We were really hoping to use his song "Natural Release" for the second half of the opener. However, we are going to take this lack of response as a sign to use another song. Luckily there are tons of copyright free music out there for our choosing.

Music Decisions 

So my teammate and I have decided to place music in two parts of the opener. This is something we finally decided after a couple of weeks of contemplation.

First Song

So the first song we want to place in the opener is going to be an instrumental rock song. We want the music to capture the characters aggressive and overwhelmed feelings. The song is going to be a diegetic sound that comes from the radio while he is driving. Fortunately, rock songs are sort of easy to find. When I was editing I put a rock song that came along with the WeVideo editing service and it honestly fit. Its strange that I found the song so fast but it honestly fits. If I do not find a better song I will just keep this one.

Song: Hard Day- BaltaZzar

Second Song

The second music will play for less time than the first. This song will fade in towards the end of the opener when things shift from an angry to sad tone. This will be a non-diegetic sound. The song needs to be slower and give off a mood of sadness and reflection. It can have lyrics or just be instrumental (whatever works). I have not found the right song for this yet but I will continue to search. This song has definitely been a harder one to find. Since we were planning on using "natural Release" for most of the projects duration, it has been hard to find another song that will fit the vibe as well as that one did.
