Music

Finding the correct music and more importantly copyright free music, has been an on going struggle for my group. In the end (due to other student's knowledge of where we could find copyright free music), we ended up on the website named http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?
This is where on the website it states that all music on the website is copyright free -

Once we had found this site, we narrowed our search for the best fitting music by searching via genre. Under the genre Horror, there were many options which we had to choose from. When we first started editing, we found two soundtracks which we really liked, "Quinn's Song - The Dance Begins" and "Warlord", this soundtrack however, was found on youtube and we later found it to be an unusable song.

My group, due to the restrictions of "Warlord" resulted in downloading "Quinn's Song - The Dance Begins". Our reasons for using this particular song was due to fact my group and I thought the song had a low tone to it and reflected sadness which could be related to that of Daisy as she is in captivity and feels very isolated. The overall feeling of the song had an unease and mellow tone to it and fit in well with our idea of a opening to a film. 

As our editing started to take shape and begin to look like an opening to a film, following a couple weeks of undecisive editing it was time Amber, Grace, Shannon and myself considered everything we had done so far and questioned whether we have looked at all the possible choices for music, amongst other things aswell. Our decision was to search for any other possible songs we could apply to our filming. This is when we found the music we now have, "Dark Walk".

The other option which we were also wuite fond of was Awkward Meeting , however, after deliberation we thought that Awkward Meeting did not have the right feel we wanted for the story, it did not seem sincere and low and slow enough. In the description of the track it said 'mystical' which is not what we had in mind. Dark Walk was described as having an eerie, unnerving, somber and dark feel to it which is why we chose this, also to make sure it was the right track we imported it in to our file on Final Cut Express, put it where we imagined it to be and saw if it looked good and added something to our film. With the transitions put in place and the music, it was a mutual feeling to go forth with 'Dark Walk'.
