Hello and welcome back, again.
Today's daily struggle, is audio (SOS).
I'll do my best to break this down for you guys but we're figuring this out together.
Sound scape:
[Scene 1: Opening scene: Vivian storms in]
- crickets chirping
- music playing (upbeat)
- footsteps in mulch
- nature sounds
- sounds of kids playing
- creak of merry go round
[Scene 2: Viv leaves]
- progressively lower sounds and increase cricket sounds + transition to sad/tense music
- Sounds of cars and horns blaring
- screech and crash sound
- ambulance sounds
[Scene 3: Viv returns to the playground]
- sad music + feet crunching mulch
- creak of merry go round
- sniffling
- ghost sounds
I know what you guys are thinking, where are you getting the music from? Well I'd like to introduce you to my older brother, Alec. A self taught semi-mediocre piano and ukulele player.
Let me set the scene for you, I was sitting in my room last night messaging indie artists on TikTok trying to get permission to use their music. When all of a sudden my brother comes home and starts playing the strangest remix of Dexter's theme song, Beethoven, and the Interstellar song. My problem was solved. I asked him if I could record him playing and we ended up staying up till 1AM composing music. So I pressed record in my voice memos app and it turned out pretty good, I'm probably going to also use royalty free music websites as well to find the perfect fit. But, I'm in a pretty good spot I think. I'll try to add some of the recordings in today so you guys can listen.
This song i'm thinking of using if the opening scenes when they're talking at the playground so It can help set the scene and the tone of the situation. (Looking Out for You- Joy Again)
Then when Viv returns back to the playground alone I think I want to play this song so that we understand how she is feeling in that moment and have a sort of physical representation of the change she is going through.
Music is such an important and integral part of media and film particularly, so I'm really glad that I get to work with my brother so I can customize it and find the perfect track that represents their inner thoughts and feelings. I'm really excited to see my idea come to life and I think that the music will really add to the story and give you an indicator on where it will go.
XOXO,
