Editing (Part 2/3)

Hey guys, its been a day since I last worked on the project and today I was dedicated to getting some Foley sounds done. On top of this, I wanted to choose some royalty free music that I could use in my video. 

First things first, I made my Foley sounds. For the sound of the needle coming out of the cover, I imagined it would sound quite like a sword being unsheathed. Therefore, I used a knife and a fork, gliding the fork over the smooth end of the knife to create a nice sharp sound. In the photo to the right, you can see the process. The phone on the table was the recording device since I do not have a phone. This means when I am editing I will have to use the "DeNoise" feature to remove the background sounds. 

On top of this, for the sounds of a tooth getting violently ripped out, I used an apple to create the sound. I took a large bite into it which got the right sound I was looking for. When I reached out to Litvinovsky for the music, they responded. Its just that the response I got was not the one I was hoping. 

I learned that to use this music without having it be copyright stricken, I would have to pay around 150 euros in order to obtain a license. This would not do, so I dashed the thought of using classical music by this creator. Next I perused the internet and found a video called "♫ Sad Spooky Piano Violin Music ♫ - Royalty Free Horror Music - Lost But Not Forgotten." This song is a simple piano play softly which can play during the beginning of my clip. However, I still needed some suspense music. This I got from YouTube the video called "Horror Background Music for Videos - Atmospheric Music - scary, suspenseful sounding." This song has an upwards pitch which screams anxiety. This I used for when the shot was going into the mouth. While I have yet to find a final song to bring the opening together, this I will do on my final editing day. As well as this I am retrieving audio clips of Logan screaming to make the tone more tense. 

While everything was going good, what happened to me when I attempted to save was yet another obstacle. When I attempted to save, I got an error from Premiere saying it had to close. This is a bad sign. A sign that my settings for saving every 1 minute had not done its job and that I was going to lose my work. Lo and behold, my clips and Foley sounds were gone. I had to rearrange all the files and put them all back together again. As well as this, I would have to remake all my Foley sounds. After this mishap, I was able to save my redone work. 

Here is my timeline as of current. I still have yet to complete the music for the rightmost portion. This I will likely do on Friday. In addition to this, I will have the video exported by Friday and will begin contemplating what exactly I will do for the CCR. 

Until next time!
