Finding music and adding it to the opening sequence

 On February 28 I was finding the music to use for my opening sequence. For my opening sequence, I needed to use copyright-free music. 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 would search for sounds or songs that are for mystery movies. The last sound that I'm using for my opening sequence is "Intense Dramatic Sound Effect" by cinema visuals. That was the third copyright-free sound I used for it. After picking out my songs I downloaded them from YouTube. Then imported them into CapCut. After adding them to CapCut I put them on the scenes that I thought would match best with the sounds. The first sound I used was "Crazy About You" I put this at the beginning of the opening sequence because I thought it would match perfectly with it. The main character is listening to music with her headphones on the bed and the sound gives off a positive cheerful vibe which is what I wanted to go for in the beginning. The second song I used was the mystery/suspense background music for films I used these for when the main character was walking her dog because I thought it matched well and was giving hints that a mystery was going to happen in the opening sequence. For the last song the intense dramatic effect, I used this sound when the stalker was following the main character or about to call her because it fits best and gave the effect that something bad is going to happen. That's all that I did for today. Thank you for reading and bye!

Adding transitions and overlays

 On February 27 I continued to edit my opening sequence. On this day I did overlays and added transitions. I wanted to add an overlay for the scene when the main character was calling her friend on the bed. To do this I changed my own contact's name to "bestie" and made it look like I was calling someone. I took a picture of the call. Then imported the picture to CapCut. To do this I clicked on the "add photo" at the bottom of CapCut and then chose the photo I wanted. After I clicked on the photo went to the options on the bottom and chose "overlay". After choosing the overlay I dragged it to the scene where I wanted. Adjusted the size and placed it on top of my phone. Then adjusted the length of the overlay of how long I wanted to have it on the screen. 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...
