Hi blog!
Now that we’ve finished filming our first scene, we’re starting to gear up for the editing process. Before diving in, we wanted to plan out key elements like music and color grading to make sure our vision is consistent. During this research and planning phase, each of us explored several songs that could work well for our film opening. Music is especially important because we plan to use it strategically—only in the first scene and at the end of the last scene—to help set the tone.
For the first scene, we want it to be fully musical with no dialogue. This is intentional: we want the scene to feel completely normal at first, so the audience believes our story is about an ordinary teenage girl. Choosing the right song is crucial because it needs to be upbeat and cheerful enough to mask the horror elements that will come later, keeping viewers unsuspecting.
Scene 1: Restless Ones by Sully Bright
When we first listened to this song, we felt it was a strong candidate for the mood we want to convey. The track has a youthful, positive energy that reflects the feelings and experiences of teenagers, which aligns well with our opening clips. We liked how the beat complements the visuals and can help create a natural flow for the scene.
The only drawback we noticed is that the lyrics are slower-paced than we originally hoped. We were aiming for a bright and joyful feel, and while the song works well overall, the slower tempo may slightly impact the energy we want to convey. Despite this, we think it still has potential and fits the tone we are trying to establish for the beginning of the film.
This was one of the first songs we came across during our research. From the moment we heard it, we were drawn to how upbeat and lively it is. The song perfectly captures the joyful and energetic mood we want to convey in our first scene. Even after listening to many other tracks, we still feel that this song is the best fit and would set the right tone for the opening of our film
When we first listened to this song, we really liked the calm and serene vibe it gives off. It could represent the life of a teenage girl, but we realized that it’s a bit too slow for what we want to show. The pace doesn’t reflect the energy and excitement of teenage life, so it wasn’t the best match for our scene.
After reviewing our options, we met as a group to discuss which song would be the most effective for our first scene. After much discussion, we agreed on Glow by Adelyn Paik! We’re thrilled to use this fun and lively song in our film and can’t wait to see how it enhances the opening. Stay tuned to see the final result!
