Health and Safety

To ensure my safety, my parents have volunteered to act as a “safety team” by providing extreme supervision, with access to a phone that can dial 911 and a first aid kit. For the scene where the dog is off the leash and catching the ball, my sister will be on the other side to make sure my dog doesn't run off. For the scene where I walk in the neighborhood by myself with my dog, I will have my sister accompany me just in case something bad happens. And just in case

I will have a first aid kit ready and a member of the safety team watching, should

something go wrong.

Adding transitions and overlays

On February 27 I continued to edit my opening sequence. On this day I did overlays and added transitions.

This was a little bit hard to do because I hadn't done something like this before. So, to add this overlay it took about forty-five minutes or more to do. I did the same steps for the "unknown...

Finding music and adding it to the opening sequence

I was able to find some on YouTube that were copyright-free by searching for them. I needed to find an upbeat and cheerful song to use for the beginning of the opening sequence when the main character is listening to music. So, the first thing I searched for was copyright-free music for pop. The song that I found and used was Royalty Free uploaded by a YouTube channel that allows them to use their music as long as you give them credit. I used the "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel's "Crazy About You" song for the beginning of my opening sequence. Another song that I used that was able to be free was "Mystery 7 Suspense Background Music for Films & Documentaries" by the YouTube channel "LVKEHOUSE" which allows anyone to use these sounds without any copyright claims. To find the mysterious sound effects I w...
