Music plan

this was my initial music plan which i made on garage band, even though i like the music i do not think it will suit my idea i have for the footage as it feels too dark and heavy in comparison to a softer image i have in my head for music.

here you can see the music i have decided to go with instead of the music i made as i feel its softer than the one i have created and is a really smart twist on Drakes hit 'hotline bling'. the piano is really effective for thriller opening in my opinions as it sets a oft yet sad tone.

my future intentions will be too shorten this and slow it down as i feel the current speed of this ruins the mood i have pictured in my head.

the music i have selected has had permission to use in the footage as it is not trademarked in any way which means it is open to the publics use.

Evaluation

So far I believe that the footage we have gathered and edited up to this point is very good! I like the shots that I have at the moment as I feel it doesn't give away too much about the story but it does give the viewer a hook which will make them want to see more. I also like the range of editing I have added with shot length, transitions as well as filters over certain shots (e.g. plying with the contrast for the show shot!).

However, in order to improve this I will need to finish off the editing that I have done so far and ensure that the shots that I have gathered are in a suitable order to make the opening sequence interesting, appealing to the viewer and make sure that the footage stays an opening sequence and not an opening chapter as well as guaranteeing that the genre it is-is maintained. this may mean I might have to record some more shots, change around the shot order and add different filters and transitions for the final piece of footage for my thriller opening

All in all I feel happy with what I've done so far and feel that my work as potential to go far!
