Music and October 19th.

Today, only me (paige) and josh were in class and so we had to choose whether to wait for the other two members of our group before we started filming or whether to just start and then to finish next lesson when the other two would hopefully be there.

We chose the second option and so our plans had to be changed slightly.

Josh has now become the main character of our piece and ive taken on the filming, if the other two members of our group are in class tomorrow we will all swap around doing the camerawork but me and josh thought it would be best to use the time productively and get at least some of the filming done.

In the time we had we actually managed to get at least 4+ minutes of footage, including many extra shots other than the ones we planned and we have got the entire "walk through the forest" done and tomorrow we will need to film the other side of the conversation with the tree that we had previously filmed.

MUSIC

A lot of our piece relies on music to carry it along instead of speech since our piece relies on a single characters journey. And so i have searched and have managed to find a website called http://www.incompetech.com/ which allows you to use their free instrumental pieces in whatever you want as long as you credit them. This would also give us a chance to use another title.

So here are some pieces i have considered for our piece.

When The Wind Blows

Genre: Contemporary
Length: 4:26
Instruments: Guitar, Synths

This piece is very soft, gentle...

Quite ideal for a walk in a forest.

Perhaps a little sombre though, maybe best used just in part.

Scheming Weasel (faster version)

Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 1:29
Instruments: English Horn, Bassoons, Bass, Glock, Clarinet, Celesta, Triangle, Bass Clarinet

I really like this piece, its playful yet has a darkish undertone, its reminiscent of old video games that had a slightly tense scene. It would work well for some of our shots.

Improbable

Genre: Modern
Length: 1:41
Instruments: Piano

This is a great piece, very....ploddy, but great for the jumping scene we have if we can blend it into another piece.

Frost Waltz

Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 2:15
Instruments: Celesta, Glockenspiel, Basses, Cellos, Violas, Violins, French Horns,

A very whimsical piece, works very well with the celesta and glockenspiel, i really think we should use this piece...

Although it does have quite a wintery feel to it.

Cartoon Pizzicato

Genre: Stings
Length: 1:12

This would be amazing to use as sound effects as this piece is actually the "creeping" music usually played on piano or strings in kids cartoons to show someone is sneaking about.
