Songs that could be incorporated

Songs that could be incorporated - #10

Songs are used many times in films, whether it was created just for a specific scene, or it was used to match the vibe. It is also something that the audience may be able to relate to, or just a song that they genuinely enjoy listening to. That being said, it is important to find the appropriate song to match the scene.

An example of a song that was made for a film was The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar's 'Pray for Me' in Black Panther. The song gave the vibe of a popping underground club and mixed well in the background as the characters exchanged dialogue. A song that I would like to use would be 'Everyday' by A$AP Rocky, as I feel that it would fit the theme of a training montage.

Another example is 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem in 8 Mile. This song fits well with the theme, as it was made as a reflection of Eminem's character, and was used to highlight his story. A song that would go well with a character's reflection I believe would be Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', as it has a nice upbeat tone and fitting lyrics.

Overall, there is no one-size-fits-all song for a specific scene that you may want to incorporate, however, it is important to pick the right one, especially to help evoke the tone that you want the audience to know. Using songs would still be a great thing to incorporate either way!

Final Cut - #42

Final Script - #35

For my finalized script, I completed much more of what was left of the first draft. This included things such as camera shots, music chimes, and sections for each part. With this complete, I can now finish filming and have everything organized. Scripting was the most intricate, but necessary part. This is because it took a lot of time to put together and actually create from scratch. Not only did I have to write the lines for all of my characters, but also the way it would be shown through the camera shots. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of preparation.

Setting and location - #27

For this opening scene, I only wanted to make two areas the focus. One was the sidewalk, and the other was Miguel's house. Both of which can be found in a neighborhood. I found it ideal, as it was close to where I live and we wouldn't have to go anywhere far to film it. The sidewalk would be used for the chase section, where Sammy would hunt down Tim. This setting will be the least significant, and shortest but it will be included in the very beginning. Miguel's house is the most important setting as it is where he and Tim will develop their friendship. This in turn will set up the story for the entire film. What was most interesting about filming at these places was the lighting. The sun gave really good natural lighting, which was important to these scenes. I was able to film what I wanted to since it was pretty much clear on both filming days. I also liked how the sunset looked at the end where Tim was about to walk out.
