Now that the production process has finally ended, we enter the era of post-production. Julia and I plan to get this film opening mostly edited by Sunday or Monday to leave time for any last-minute setbacks. The reason it has even taken so long to start post-production is that we did not have the materials needed to transfer the footage from the SD card to our editing software. So Julia and I took advantage of Amazon Prime and ordered a USB 3.0 card reader so that we could actually carry on with the project. Since it is spring break and we are separated as of right now, we have agreed to split the editing in half, and then hold a meeting together where we combine both edited portions of the film opening together seamlessly. In the meanwhile, we have been trying to decide what music we wanted in the background of the opening since it really does make or break the film opening.
Taking into consideration the genre of our film opening, we decided to go with a music genre that is more popular amongst teenagers right now which is: indie music. At first, we were going to borrow a song from one of our friends who is a songwriter and producer, but it would not be done on time. As a result, we turned to copyright-free music on YouTube. While I would have loved to use "The Adults are Talking" by The Strokes in our opening, contacting them for permission to their song would be impossible to achieve by the project deadline. So instead, we looked up copyright-free indie-pop music on YouTube and were mainly torn between two selections. The first song was definitely the genre we were going for, however, it was not as upbeat as we wanted it to be so we kept looking. After much searching, we found the second song which seemed perfect since it was more upbeat and would match the chill vibe we were going for in Malia's room. Overall, we decided to use the second song since we feel as if it matches the pacing of how we wanted to edit the shots together better.
