AICE Media Studies

 For music in my movie, I choose to use music from https://www.purple-planet.com and https://www.bensound.com. I learned a little bit about music when choosing it. I learned that bps is a good way of telling what music works together. If the two pieces have the same bps they have the same pace. It is odd for me because I don't know a lot about music, but it seems like even if the bps are not the same if two songs are sound similar they would transition easier, than if they sound different but had the same bps. It is odd because I found it to be the other way around. The songs transition more smoothly if they both have the same bps.

 Since the beginning of the movie is zoning in on the main character going on a run through Sarasota, I knew I had to break up the journey.  This will help convey time passing and focus on the environment.  I was inspired by something one of my favorite TV shows does often.  On the reality show, Survivor , they often focus on the wildlife on the island they are shooting on. They use a  jump cut to an animal nearby along with a dramatic sound effect. This is something that adds a feeling of tension to the moment. In my family, we call it “queuing the snake” because it is often a snake they film on Survivor .  When I was out shooting some of the scenes, I went about taking videos of an animal that was unobstructed by foliage. I also found a couple more animals like turtles and birds that I will weave into the story. For continuity, I also took shots with animals and the main character.
