Production Blog: Background Music

I can't believe we forgot! We've been stressing so much about filming and scheduling, we forgot about our background music. So in order for us to use a song, we have to message the people who owns the song. We were really lost because how were we supposed to figure out who owns this song? Even if we figured out, how are we supposed to find their information? Then if we do find their information, I'm pretty sure they get hundreds of emails. How are we supposed to make ours stand out? So we have been trying to get in contact with the owner of the song we're trying to use. The song we're trying to use is: Slippin by DMX. At first I was like, maybe we should contact DMX since it is his song. But then I remembered things about the industry. Not every artist own their songs. Some are in bad deals where their label takes everything.  We went to DMX's Instagram page and seen that he has a booking link in his bio. It say for music inquiries but we aren't trying to have him on a song. We just want to use about 30 seconds of his song that's in the background. I'm still going to take the chance and message him though. I hope he understands that it's for a school project, and doesn't try to charge me. If he doesn't believe me, I would have to show him some type of proof. I'll maybe just take a picture of the guidelines for the project. Or of the class.

Genre Research: Brotherly Love

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Brotherly love is a film about a high-school basketball player, his sister, and their older brother who face life-changing decisions as they struggle to make something of themselves. Like most dramas, it is a tale of broken bonds, heartbreak, and revenge. In our film “Life for life: A losing game” we plan on incorporating all of those and many more to produce the complete and versatile drama. The surrounding element that directly relates to our movie is the deception and anger caused by being done wrong by others. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The element of betrayal and deception is what I like the most. Being deceived is something almost every individual has experienced and can relate to. Our goal is to make our film interesting, breathe taking, and more importantly relatable in some way. No matter if the relationship is small, any kind of relation grants a diff

 It's finally over!! Boy was this journey stressful. We didn't do everything we wanted to do, but it still came out okay. We know we put our all into it and that's all that matters. We had to do a LOTT of trimming. We honestly didn't even do all of the scenes because we didn't think that it would be so long. We cut 4 minutes into 2 minutes and we didn't use all the scenes. Here's our final task though, I hope you enjoy!!
