El Cantante by Hector Lavoe/pivotal scene

So since my classmate told me that I had to schedule my progress on the project iin order to ge things on time, I did so and I have not told you guys, I think; but I had to write a letter to Fania Records in order to get permission from to use the song El Cantante by Hector Lavoe. Last week I sended them the email and three days straight I was giving the details and information about the project to the worker who was taking my case, from the company; a week past and I felt that I had to  wait since my case might have been in the procedure but it turns out that the last email in which I sended all the specific information the worker needed in order to approve my case, was not sended; therefore the whole week was waited for no reason :) however, I scheduled to get the answer on thursday and I did get on that date since I decided to send my information again, and I got the approval right away!

As a result, I have the permission to use the song but now is how I am going to download it, how much I might use and whether it is always going to be diegetic or not. Since my main character is in a fantasy I need an effect from the sound that would allow the audience differentiate between reality and fantasy; therefore, from the song El Cantante, I have decided to use from the min 4:20 to 6; but WHY? well let me tell you why, in such part of the song the harmony of the instruments changes by adding up violines which provides a sensantional of dreamlike, somwhat  magical which is elemental to build up a fantasy. Such part of the song gives the sensation of been in love or been in a very intimate scene, I don't know or at least to me that scene provides such sensation. But still with such song my objective is to give the environment of how the main character, Juan; is falling in love or been attracted to Ana Sofia, as he find her dancing in the party; such scene would require slow zooms, and close ups in order to make the scene intimate, special and pivotal compared to the rest of the scenes.

Sadly some plans i had for the scene are going to be changed since Ana Sofia bumping Juan by ignoring his presence seems too cheesy, I am interested in building such rejection or awkwardness by differentiatijng the style I am giving for the scenes of how Juan gets to fall in love with Ana Sofia and how Ana Sofia actually views Juan. Lately, I nhave been trying to understand how I can build this idea of perspectives and I consider that what is best is to film Juan scenes of the Point of View, as I said before, in such slow motion or zoom, and close ups in whioch a connection between the characters could be deducted; and when it comes to Ana Sofia's perspectives, the face expressions would be different and the shots would be hand-held shots so the shots wold look more realistic since honestly in a party one is constantly moving from plce to place and looking everywhere instead to straight to one point as Juan is doing.

In addition, since I wanted to build both perspectives of the characters i considered necessary to also elaborate more on the female character which is Ana Sofia, at first I wanted to create her as the untouchable crush but honestly it is necessary for us to see why there is not such connection between the protanost and her if in Juan's perspective they are meant to be. Therefore, the film would be a dromedy in which the focus of the relationship is on both perspectives; although, in this case between Juan and Ana Sofia there is nothing going to happen, the "love story" of the story that is not about love, would definetly focus on both sides in order to connect more with the characters and get better opinions on the character's actions and final result. Conseuqently I will have to investigate of female tropes in film in order to know what is necessary in order to build up for my character of the crush Ana Sofia, since I am intending to make her human, and Juan be the oone who is incorrect although I want ot make his msitakes relevant to the target audience of teenagers,a dn adults since they have also gone through having a cursh in high school. So yeah, I will research on ho i want to create my female character so I could  know hopw to portray her in the scene, and consider which new scenes whould be added so this could be understood.
There is a lot of work to do!!!!!
