Our first instinct was to use something intense and dramatic. We tried it under the opening scene, but it didn’t fit with the comedy. The actors were doing unserious things, yet the music treated it like a serious action sequence, and it felt off.
Then we experimented with something obviously goofy for the audio. That felt even worse—it came across as forced, like the music was trying to dictate how the audience should react instead of letting the scene speak for itself.
So far, we haven’t found an audio track that feels right for the clips we have. Finding suitable music for this film is proving to be very challenging, and we’re not sure if continuing the search will be worthwhile. Some might even argue that adding any audio at all could make it worse. We’re still considering options, and it’s possible we might leave the scenes without music.
Adding to the difficulty, many tracks that would fit the opening are copyrighted, which limits our choices even further. This has become a significant challenge in the editing process and has made it harder to stay motivated. Nevertheless, we plan to continue searching for appropriate audio or music tracks, even if the options are limited.
On a positive note, the edit is coming together. However, having watched it so many times, it’s hard for us to judge it objectively. At this stage, it seems okay, and that’s fine because there’s still time to refine it until we’re satisfied. In past projects, we’ve noticed a pattern: we may feel disappointed with our editing, but others often respond positively. It may be that we see minor flaws that most viewers won’t notice, or we simply set higher standards for ourselves. Either way, progress is being made.
