Obtaining Music Production Blog

In search of some music to find, I looked around for multiple composers to ask. I thought of this one composer who made one of my favorite songs and decided to text him on Instagram. His name was Jamie Christopherson and he creates many instrumental pieces of music which I figured would be perfect for our video. I wasn't sure if he would answer or not but I asked anyways because he was my last hope. Once I texted him on instagram asking for the specific song, unfortunately he did not own the rights to the song I wanted. I was caught in a bit of devastation because I thought that this would be easier but it seemed to be a challenge. I immediately thought of other sources that I could get my music from but I thought we might have had to rely on royalty free music in the end. Luckily, Mr. Christopherson said that he would send our team a library full of his songs that we could work with. He gave me his email for more convenience of communication. There were over 50 songs to choose from and we took 3 days to finally pick 2 songs that we were confident would work for our video. The first one was called "Carnival of Delights" which is a suspenseful type of music that is meant for the first part of the video. The second song is called "F-Zero" which is an action piece of music that is meant for battle scenes. I requested that we could use these two pieces of music for our project. He gracefully accepted our request and sent over a document that allows us to use it in our project. I am extremely thankful to Mr. Christopherson because he could have left us with nothing in the end. Instead, he decided to help me more by giving me a selection of songs that he created. He was a valuable asset to this project as without him we would have had a hard time finding music from another source. This project wouldn't have been successful without him and my group is thankful for him and me for recommending him.

Final Task

 This video took a lot out of my group. There was so much that we had to do and so many problems occured that there was nothing we could do for some of them. Even with all those issues, I honestly think that this is the best video we made yet. Although I can see the plot issues and mistakes we made, this video is the child of our hard work. This may not be the best there is, but I am proud of this video. So I think that to the viewer, instead of watching the video to judge, watch the video to enjoy. So thank you to all who helped us. Thank you group mates who I couldn't have done this without. And thank you, for enjoying the show.

 September 27th          Chad Johnson Our group that consists of Jason, Sebastian, and I will feature the Nintendo Switch and all its features. Now our commercial will start with the iconic nintendo switch intro. This is found on all of nintendo switch's commercial intros. It lasts around 2 seconds so this will not take up any filming time that we need. The next panel is where we look at the nintendo switch game menu. This menu will have to showcase to the viewer what the games you can play. In this scene, we will also be entering a game and showing small gameplay. The third scene will show us playing a game together with the screen. This scene is meant to showcase how everyone can play together at the same time. This scene can also show a game being played and what to do which is promoting both the console and the game. The fourth scene will showcase what the game will look like when the console is in handheld mode. This mode is when the controllers are in...

The Final Blog

 In our group consisting of Chad, Jason, and Sebastian, we'd say we did a great job. We have many scenes which has deviated from the original storyboard. The thing is, we created new ideas mid filming, which cause us to make a better commercial than planned. Next we have the filming, with only 2 real shots and the rest being in-game shots. These in-game shots combined with the perfect editing Jason did for each made this video great. The editing had clean transitions, music syncs, and much more than can appeal to all audiences. It almost seemed like a compilation of clips with an actual trailer to back it up. The first clips show Sebastian and Chad sitting next to each other playing their switches. This is the start of the story, as they're both playing around having a good time. The final scenes are with the Nintendo Switch being used, then put away for the day. This shows that the whole day was spent playing video games and the day finally ended with putting it away. As we pu...
