sound or music used in teen films

the type of music that is usually used in teen films are either RnB or pop music sung or rapped by artists that are big in the pop industry.
this could be for example: Drake, Katy Perry, Little Mix, eminem ect. these are all huge artists that are relevant to present generations it is rare to see country music or songs without beats being used as they may not fit the story line that well. we have been asked to find music that is copy right free.

this is because if we use music that is not it becomes illegal as the song doesn't belong to us and if we post it on you tube or other social networking sites it would be breaking the law.
This is why we use creative commons this is a website that gives a range of copyright free music which can be used when we make our final project. there are also other ways like using GarageBand and layer our own music to make our own tracks.

 i fould that cc mixer and jamengo were to complicated to use and therefore i have concluded that sound cloud is the best place to get copyright free music from.

order of titles

order of titles 

Almost ever film starts with the titles. This is to show who the minds behind the film are and to give them credit for their work. it mostly starts with the ident of the film producer for example universal or marvel following the directors and producers. If the film is a very successful one they usually show the characters to make the film more popular. it then follows the camera crew and costume designers. and finally it ends with the directors again to give them more credit.

 Cyberbully

The opening of the teen drama movie 'Cyberbully' is started off with the song 'Chit Chat by Hannah Georgas'. The song can be described as explosive and energetic.

This is the official video of 'Chit Chat by Hanna Georgas' from YouTube.

It relates to the protagonist's mood and character during the beginning of the movie as it is her 17th Birthday and she is joyful.

Kidulthood

The teen drama film starts off with a tech-like remix. the song is called '08'Remix by The Angel'.

It creates a confusing and troublesome atmosphere conjoined with the dimness of the opening frame lighting. It foreshadows the havoc and trouble happening in the latter stages of the movie, creating a dramatic film for the audience to look forward to.

This is the '08'Remix by The Angel' song used for the opening of the movie.

Submarine Blog post

Our task was to import sound from Creative Commons into the beginning of the movie 'Submarine'.

It is important for us to use sound that is copyright free because it is Legal and helps us be more innovative and original in media.


This is a screen shot of a track from Creative Commons under Sound Cloud, the song is Drake- Girls Love Beyoncé Feat. James Fauntleroy

 To download we chose the download option, a track also has many other options such as Like, Re-post, share, play/pause etc.

This is a screen shot of the Creative Commons website, as you can see it is fairly easy to operate; It has a search bar and a simply display system for the Sound cloud option. Most tracks are unavailable for download as they need to be paid for however we did manage to find some good songs that would suit the film, after coming to a conclusion we decided to choose the song 'Fort Minor- Where'd you go- Instrumental.

The Breakfast Club Film

Evaluation of filming the breakfast club

Evaluation Of Filming

In order to recreate an efficient shot remake of the opening scene  the breakfast club we had to film the EXACT shots displayed in the opening scene of the breakfast club. Firstly, we acknowledged that a majority of the shots used were still so we decided to use the digital camera to take snaps of the still shots. After a while, we realised that this wouldn't be effective as when we started editing it would more like picture rather than video. We then used a JVC video camera to film all of our shots. 

Our storyboard consisted of  all the shots used in chronological order and the type of shot, this made filming easy to do. Some scene were very easy to film for example: we had to film a close up of clock - there was a large clock in the canteen so this was fairly easy to do. Also filming long shots of the corridor, eye level shots of the canteen and high angle shots of the classroom were easy as they still shots. 

In Conclusion we found that filming was a success as we managed to film almost all of the shots used in breakfast club and also they were the same. On the other hand, we couldn't cil all of the shots theta were included in the first scene due to the fact that we didn't;t have access to a gym. In addition we didn't have any access to cars so we film toy cars instead and drew the background. 

Planning The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club - Planning

Firstly, We planned our shot by shot remake of the opening scene of The Breakfast club by creating a storyboard of the scenes. 
We did this by looking at each scene of the film  and screen shot each shot before placing it onto our storyboard and writing a small caption describing the shot type, camera angle and camera movement. 
This was a fairly long process however we completed it without any difficulty. 

The second stage of our planning was to appoint a character from The Breakfast Club to each member of our group. We then discussed the costumes and props needed to accomplish our task of creating a shot by shot remake of the clip from The Breakfast Club. We wrote descriptions and a list of props for each character. Props or costumes that weren't available were cancelled out and we found an alternative. The costumes of our characters were determined by the stereotypical views of their personality. 

The third stage of our planning was to write down all the locations in our college that are similar to the locations in the scenes of The Breakfast Club. We wrote down the order of the locations to make it easier when filming. 
Finally, planning was concluded after a summarisation of each stage.
