Creating An Overall Mood

For this week of Songwriting, Sequencing, and Soundtracks, we were working on setting up the perfect mood for a video. This week we were editing a clip of the students playing basketball on the Lower Field. When we were done filming we had to add background music to the video. My approach with this video was to have a calm and peaceful setting, mainly using acoustic guitars with a set of shakers. For the second video, we were taking random shots of the freshmen preparing for the Trail. For this video, my approach was to have a type of flashback mood set with a ballad piano and a bit of southern rock piano. Dr. Fletcher said that I had the right approach for the Trail and a bit on the basketball shoot. I am looking forward with the next series of projects in the near future.
