So...last week was not great...school lockdowns!
The week of February 19-25 was completely insane, yet very normal for an American public school. We experienced two lockdown procedures due to strange items being found in the school, and since my school follows an A day/B day block schedule, both lockdowns conveniently fell on the day I have Media Studies. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and both lockdowns were simply precautionary.
However, since the lockdowns lasted around three or four hours each, this did drastically mess up our schedule for the week, and I was not able to get much work done. On the second day, I went to Media Studies after the lockdown was over and we spent a lot of time talking as a class about the event. After that, my teacher, Mrs. Stoklosa, split us all up into groups for us to talk about our projects with class mates. I'm really glad we did this because my classmates were gave be some really good ideas.
As a refresher, I had planned to have music playing from the start of the video, and only have it turn off when Kai takes off their headphones at the picnic. However, one of my classmates brought up the point that this might be confusing because the music might cause the difference between reality and memory to not be as clear. He proposed the idea of having just instrumental music playing, and letters from Melody to be playing during the memories instead of music with lyrics. I think this is a good idea, since the cause of Melody's death was due to illness (will be explained in character analysis chart), perhaps these letters were recorded by Melody before her death. So now I have these two possible routes to take, however my search for music still continues.
