Music/Intro to Berkley

    Although copyright-free music is readily available on the Internet on resources like YouTube, BenSound, TakeTones, and much more, we decided to contact an artist named Gatlin for permission to use her song, 

What if I Love You. We feel this song not only matches our plot but the overall genre characteristics as well. It has a very upbeat and similar feeling to the overall idea regarding our project. In order to get in touch with Gatlin, we decided to contact her using Instagram. Our groupmate, Daniela (Dani) sent a direct message (DM) to her and she responded quite promptly. We received permission and look forward to using her song in our intro. Right below, in the middle, you can see a screenshot of the message we sent. On the right is the single's Apple Music cover and on the left is the song we are using within the list of songs Gatlin has released. How will we use the song? That is for us to know, and you to find out.

Who is Berkley?

    She is your typical 16 year old in 2005. She loves her friends, jewelry, and anything pink. The film will be set on the day of her 16th birthday in her bedroom. Berkley is clearly passionate regarding her birthday as she spends a seemingly excessive amount of time preparing and getting ready for her birthday. 

What does her room look like?

    Berkley's room is scattered with typical teenage features. From hair clips, neon signs, and nail polish, she truly captures the essence of an early 2000s girl. We will use reference photos from Pinterest as well as on the Internet. Filming in Daniela's bedroom, we will combine our resources and create the dream "Berkley 2005 teenage room". 

    One last thing. Okay, just kidding - two more things. Today we are completing our storyboard!! And we chose a name for our film!! So stay tuned for the storyboard reveal, name reveal, and like a gazillion more updates!!! Talk later!
