Step By Step

     Last night I picked up the last (at least I think) of the props that I will be using in the room of the main character in the first half of the opening sequence. Last night and this morning I was also searching through Youtube Audio Library looking for more quiet and ambient songs that I can use behind the dialogue.  I found some baseball cards in a closet in my dad's house, to lay across the desk in the room and across the room, and also some decorative baseballs. I also will place cameras and other objects so they are present in the shot to show other traits and hobbies of the main character. I also made sure to have enough baseballs to use while filming so I won't have to chase after each ball following each shot.
     I plan to incorporate more happy music while the friends are playing baseball. After halfway through this second scene, I plan to slowly introduce a rising heart rate sound effect over the happy music, that slowly becomes louder leading up to the suspenseful tension release of the main character being struck. The happy music playing will stop to reveal only the heartbeat to represent that the main character's injuries are serious. Much of today I have also been cleaning my room to make space for all of the props and so they will be easily insight when it is time to film. T-2 days until filming; I can't wait!
