Decisions on sound, lighting Etc

 This right here is something I failed to realize. Some questions to ask would be, what sounds would my film use?, would they be diegetic or non- diegetic sounds?, would there be narration?, these are some questions that come to mind when thinking about sound. If you ever watched a teen movies made in the early 2000s, you can see how almost all of them have narration. Narration helps give background information to the audience. For example if the characters engage  conflict, the narration can give you knowledge on why this is happening or how did it start. Music can also help with the film as well. If you are doing a horror film you would use a low pitched sound, causing a eerie feel amongst the audience and setting the mood to how you want it to be. In our case we would put music that brightens up the mood, such as pop music to show how high school (in movies) really are. If we play some low music leading to silence, this foreshadows that something may happen just about now, or maybe the plot is about to reach its climax. Just like music, lighting plays an important part of setting the mood of the film. If you have lighting that is very bright lighting, it can show joy and happiness, which is what the group is trying to go for. We need bright lighting most of the film and joyful pop music to truly set the tone of the opening sequence. Although in some scenes where conflict does appear, we will use dark lighting and low tone music to give the audience a eerie feel. This will also help build tension
