Looking through non royalty music



I am looking through some royalty free music for our video, I have been going through YouTube for hours but I have not really found what I was looking for however there are a few tracks that have the elements which we are looking for an Organ, Piano and maybe a Bass line that goes through out the track to give a "Buzzing" felling to keep the audience on their toes.


Today I will be asking the Music Department if I could use their equipment for making our original music, I could take the easy route and just choose an royalty free track and mention the artists name however I want to be more creative and challenge myself hopefully get better marks.

Started editing

We have finally started editing the project, We have just imported all of the camera shots into the computer and I hope that everything is all right as I was the the camera man if a clip is missing I would get the blame for overwriting it.

I think that there are a few really good shots we have included which were my idea for example the spying on the teacher and the killer running towards the the teacher using a Point of View shot (POV) which show the villains POV.

Abdulaziz and Filip are going to be editing the video and I will also be helping out when ever needed however I have never used Adobe Premier Elements 9.0 I used Sony Vegas instead.

Day 2 of filming

Today has been a massive burden we stayed in school until 8:30pm to record the clip however I think we worked together better and got more clips recorded than we did on the first day, There were far less arguments and we recorded from three or four different positions than just arguing about what positions.

We have got some excellent shots and each of the clip has been filmed from at least 3 different angles which is great for editing and some thing I think we can play around with in Adobe Premier Elements 9.0.

It gives me great pleasure to say that the recording is FINALLY FINISHED.

ideas of editing

We have great ideas for editing with sudden fade to blacks and cuts to play a major role in our "quest" to make a thrilling and horrific atmosphere of suspense, We have a lot of clips to go through and edit and I hope that we don't have to re film or do anything drastic like that.

I think that for the first time I am starting to think that this group can actually gel to make a decent video, and looking back through the clips you can tell how serious everyone is and what a massive step up we have made from our preliminary exercise which looked like a comedy rather than a serious action adventure clip.

First Day of Recording.

Today was not the greatest filming session with the amount of disruptions that came along with using a room and corridor which is usually busy and a classroom that was entered by other students because of them curios of what we were doing, I think we should have looked ahead to people interfering and should have maybe put a notice up in advance to let everyone know that we are in the process of recording.

Not Again -_-.

Once again I have to fill in for Filip, Which puts us on the back foot as he is the one that is writing the script however I have managed to message  him over Facebook telling him that we will be doing some of the script without him.

This has slowed us down as we were hoping to start recording by the end of today but due to the inconvenience we would need to delay the recording of the video which means that the group will have far less time for editing and for me creating the music.
