 Using Music

Live in real time:

NOTES-

How are we trying to make them feel?

Trying to figure out how to balance liveliness and sentimentality

- Nostalgic, "deep" not lightweight topic, somewhat sentimental (because this emotion is one that truly hits people and they are most taken aback by it, not as used to it)

- While also attending to fun, lively, "imperfect" approach of two 18 year old girls. Want the audience to have fun while watching

Structurely:

45 seconds of introduction (more chaotic, lively)--- Interview of us for 30 sec-1 mn  (breath of fresh air, more serious but hopeful STRINGS)---leads to animation introduction 30 sec (hopeful, sentimental)-- intro of place/hobbies 30/45 sec (more fun now)-- interviews 2 mn 30 sec

Hey guys! this is me after I was trying to find music (or after the "Live in real time" intervention when I was taking notes and trying to structure my intention with the music)

MUSIC FOR ANIMATION SEQUENCE:

I was specifically trying to find music for the animation sequence, and I am was using Artlist.IO, here are some songs I found:

Peace - Roie Shpigler

Ballerina- Yehezkel Raz

Lev 1- DaniHaDani

We were very convinced on sticking with Ballerina (song below) because of a couple of things.

This song was a good accompaniment because it didn't take away or distract from the animation or visuals on the screen. We wanted a song that was definitely instrumental and one that was melodic enough that it wouldn't distract or overwhelm the viewer. Here is how it looked with the animation below:

 But we realized after attaching the music to it that this was too melancholic for what we were going for. We didn't want to create a sad mood, more of a hopeful and longing one. So we went on the hunt for other instrumental songs. We then found Peace (listed above) which turned out to work with the feeling we were trying to create. This orhcestral piece with strings worked because it evokes hope and inspiration but also a cinematic and stylistic feel that we wanted. Here is the animation sequence below with the new music :)))

OVERVIEW:

I am very happy we got the music done for the animation sequence because that means its done! Also doing this breakdown of music helps my sister and I see the type of music we will use for other parts of our docuseries section 😁👀👀
