Songs and sounds that will be included

Songs and sounds that will be included - #30

For an opening scene to be complete, it should include music. In my final project, I will include one song and several sound effects. This will hopefully aid in the 'professional' feel of the film.

The song I chose to include is 'The Loser Wins'. As I have stated before in an earlier post, I chose this song because it was in a video game I played, which both Kyle and I thought would be a good idea. This song matches the overall vibe well and has fitting lyrics too.

Some sounds that were too difficult to create myself that I decided to use were from YouTube, and these included suspenseful sounds and the sound effect of ears ringing. I wanted the very beginning part to encompass suspense as Sammy is about to track down Tim and begin to chase him. For the ringing ears sound, I wanted to include that for when Tim is knocked down on the ground and dazed.

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.
