Music Problem

I knew music would matter, but I didn’t realize how much it would shape the entire edit.

My first instinct was to use something that sounded intense and dramatic. I tried it under the opening scene and it didnt fit well with the comedy. The actors were doing unserious things but the music treated it like a serious action and it felt off.

Then I  tried something obviously goofy for the audio. That was worse as it felt forced, like the music was trying to tell the audience how to react instead of letting the scene speak for itself.

I still haven't found a good audio that I can say I like for the clips I have. Finding an audio for this film is actually really hard, and I dont know if I should even keep looking for one as it might be a waste of time. Some people might think any audio at all would make it worse. Im still thinking on it but I might not put an audio in.

As well, many audio tracks that would fit in to the film opening are copyrighted, which makes this even harder. This is proving to be a big challenge in the editing process and has become really unmotivating. I'll push through and still try to find audios or music tracks, but as of right now its not looking good.

On a positive note, the edit is coming together, but I’ve watched it so many times that it’s hard to judge it objectively. I think so far it's alright, but thats okay as I have more time to work with it until I am satisfied with it. Although, I do have a history of saying my editing projects are not good, but then have multiple people say that in their opinion it was good. Either im dissapointed in my editing skills, or I looked at the video too many times and saw too many minor flaws that others won't see. Either way, progress is being made.
