Editing: Music & Sound

We needed music for our film. It took us a while to find some royalty-free music for our opening scene. We had multiple choices before we all collectively chose a nice mellow song called Summertime. When we planned this video, we wanted the sound to be somewhat quiet. For example, we diegetic sound of the engine starting and the car keys were meant to not be too loud or quiet. When we were filming the scenes, we also recorded the sounds and audios themselves to make sure that they wouldn't be too quiet. Now we would be sure that the audio would be heard in the final product. Then, we finally began to edit the scenes together. We clipped some of the sound audios and added them to the track. We also separated the audio from their original videos, and added them under the correct scene. This meaning where the audio was meant to match with the video. We watched as Rafi separated all of the sound while we placed them under the scenes. While this was happening, we were also looking for music choices and options. The music needed to be royalty-free in order to use it with no trouble. So we searched through many different websites for music, which we invisioned being chill and relaxing. We played it out loud for all of us to listen and see if we liked it. We went through about 7 songs. After a while we found a song that seemed to fit best for our film. The song was by the artist Egozi. None of us have ever heard of this artist before. We downloaded the song from the website we found it on, and then applied it to the editing software. We then noticed that the sound effects sounds off with the music together, so we had to get rid of it.
