Hi, so I have been thinking about all the aspects that the first scene has to have and I am a little overwhelmed. I have all the props, such as awards and boxes, but so much is left to consider. For instance, the background music, the credits' font and size, and especially the title.
I have begun to look for the background song at the beginning of the scene by searching through a list of upbeat summer songs from this interesting site that offers non-copywrited music for free. There are a few songs that I thought would fit well with the scene, but I am unable to find a way to put them on the blog to show you. So instead I will just explain the vibe that I am looking for when searching for a song. Basically, I envision this rom-com to be young and fresh as the main characters are in their first years of college. I want the song to reflect that excitement of starting in a new place. I also want the girl to be shown as a very light-hearted, kind person. In my past blogs, I may have described her as otherwise, so it may seem as though I am contradicting myself. But, after filming and seeing what the male character is portrayed as, I find the best way to contrast their personalities is by making the girl, Chloe be seen as sweet, innocent, and naive. Which is why I would like the song to be a happy summer type of song.
The credits should match the color scheme of the items and lighting of the clips, but I find myself leaning towards yellow as the font color to go along with the summer theme. I have been playing around with fonts as well. I know I had said I favored a font with pin-straight letters to mimic the girl's perfect personality and obsessive nature, but I find myself liking the second font, as it makes me think of femininity and innocence. I plan on showing these to my group members and seeing what they think is best. Below is the image of the fonts I have liked the most.
