Second Edit

Hello! Today, I continued to edit my film opening. May I say, it has come together into an incredible opening. I still have some work to do, but it is in pretty good shape right now. Take a look!

Music

Before today, I felt that my film opening was too silent. Due to the fact that there is no dialogue in the opening, I had to be careful to make sure that sound elements were used effectively. I used clips from two free, uncopyrighted songs: 100 Seconds and Sorrow in Raindrops. I picked these songs because their dramatic, ominous, and suspenseful tone is effective in setting the tone of the opening and grabbing the user's attention.

I had to get very creative with pairing the music with the visuals. I only wanted some parts of the songs and not others and I wanted certain sounds to be paired with certain moments in the opening. For example, the song 100 seconds is one minute and 40 seconds long (100 seconds... lol) but I only used the first three seconds of it in my opening. The tone of the rest of the song did not match the tone I was going for, but I really liked the first few seconds of it. So, I copied the first three seconds three times, and for each copy I had the volume level decrease. This created a loop where the three repeated audio segments flowed smoothly. I haven't had much experience in sound editing, so I was very impressed by how good it sounded.

Below are the full references for the songs
