Music to my ears!

 Welcome back! Last time I left off saying what the title of the movie would be. Well I don't like to break promises and disappoint, so here it is. Based on the story of being a case reopened and the fact that the  location chosen, used to be a skating rink, the team agreed to the title suggested. The team came up with Cold Case. Okay, I know it sounds basic, but the pun! The name is a bit anti-climatic but I thinks it's so cool how it plays on the different factor of our movie. 

Now that the name was chosen and the location, we needed to focus on the music. The team had someone to count on though. A fellow student interested in the film offered to create the music with her band. However, certain unpreccidented events happened and the team had to resort to plan B, look for it in internet. I recommended using royalty free music so that the team would be able to avoid a number of problems along the way. Everyone went straight to work, I found a song I really liked but the beat wasn't fitting for the film. In the end, after a lot of researching and as always disputes, the music was chosen. The team decided on this music titled "Infraction" [No Copyright Music]  [Free... Download].

Next was the props to further the theme and idea for the opening sequence. I stated the skates not just for fun and looks, they came into play too. the team decided to make the skates the murder weapon, or well, just one skate. Any goof thriller needs a little bit of fake blood, so I offered make it. I did the best I could to make the color and consistency realistic. I suggested a type of camera  found a camcorder seeing that a lot of teens from the early 2000's would record times they spent with friend. I mean, it was the time when a lot of technology was being created do it makes sense. The team cooperated financially so that it could used during recording


This is a little shot of one places inside the ice rink. It was so dark, everyone cooperating had to be in one location so that it could even be possible for the camcorder to capture any footage.

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up.  The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required. It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group dec...

 Hey guys welcome back quick update, a lot of things changed. Well a lot was forced to, due to our extenuating circumstances and the production of this is music video. Let me explain, to make things simple, the video won’t be going on script with the storyboard. I put my party and even though I had just gotten out of competition, and hadn’t eaten, I put my part in and brought my best friend in order to complete the ideal goal. However, a lot of problems arose, some being mine and others not so much.  One of the problems that I had was in fact, competition, I was not aware of how late the final round would last and my group meme era had to film the lonely part by them selves, Ayannah and Benjamin. I ended up finally being free at around 3:30 pm, and had to run and pick up my best friend in order to even make it to see the team. There was in fact some negative feels towards me but I couldn’t control it and I changed the schedule and filming period in order to make time for every...
