OK, so crazy thing happened today.
In the last post, I brought up how sam had a song that inspired our idea: "Flightless Bird" by ROAR. As we were planning today, we realized that the song would be so perfect for us to use in our opening, we also came up with the idea to make it diegetic meaning it's incorporated in the world of our film. But anyways THATS BESIDES THE POINT. This morning Sam and I decided to DM the band on Instagram to see if we could use the song for our opening. We originally planned to send an email but the only available emails provided were strictly for touring and booking. We both were fully expecting to get a response like 2-3 weeks from now, mind you sam and I have been fans of this band for a while so we were nervous to even send the message itself (we did it anyways but we had someone else push the button).
After we sent the message we stared at the dm for a few minutes then continued on with our normal daily activities (I completely forgot about it already) AND THEN not even 2 hours after we sent the message they replied.
OH EM GOSH. WHAT. Sam and I were fully in math class when the message came through and my mouth DROPPED, my hand covered my mouth and I sat like that for a good 7 minutes before spamming Sam about their response. It's so surreal even if they only said a singular sentence. We are both still so
starstruck.
Our opening now with access to the song is going to be so good. The meaning behind the song and the way the song sounds itself is like the cherry on top. To open the song builds up in the beginning so we are going to use that build-up for our credits then when the beat drops and it swells is when the effects of our story take place. Eventually, it'll cut to our MC and the song would be played as a vinyl switching to diegetic sounds.
