Though this title does seem pretty negative, I wanted to talk about the obstacles we are going to have to face in the next step in the project as it is coming to an end.
Well the first problem of the week...music.
Finishing the filming process of our film opening we had hoped that the owners for the song Layla would have answered us by now. We did receive an answer but it wasn't from the owner of the song. Darren had an idea to email both the writer of the song and the production company for the song rights. The lyricist Bobby Whitlock, did answer our email but with bad news said that he didn't own the rights to the song. Upset we had to start preparing for the worst case scenario. We decided to turn to our other five options that we had in our final five list. We emailed all of them and we still have not gotten a response... maybe we should have done this earlier but we are really worried. For a week now I've been looking into possible songs that are not copyrighted. It's hard when you have an idea in your head but you can't duplicate it. As of now I'm still looking.
Next problem....editing.
This thankfully hasn't been a huge issue but an issue never the less. The day back to school ready to edit, we inputed the flash drive and uploaded the videos and to our shock....none of the videos would play. I was freaking out but we still had sometime. Trying to calm myself down before I was ready to go nuts, Darren with his great ideas gets the clips and converts them into a file that will be allowed to play in these computers. Unfortunately, it seems time is slipping as we are working.
Now that the clips are viewable, it seems that the website used to convert all the clips are cutting off the video. It seems we won't be doing any editing today at school. My panic mode is at an all time high now with the fear that I may have done a mistake. I remember seeing the big red button.
The answer will be coming soon. Looks like we'll be editing this at home. Time is ticking.
Hopefully we get this right......
