Music Production Blog

      Today, my group and I talked talked about music that was best for our film. We considered asking permission to use a song, but figured that'd be too complicated. It is much easier and simpler to use basic royalty free music online. I was looking for places to find music that would be royalty free, and ultimately opted to looking a site called FreePD.com. Searching with my partners, we were able to find some music that we felt would go with the mood of the movie. Choosing a couple of the songs was definitely a longer process, mainly due to having to go through so many available choices, but fortunately, we were able to narrow down our favorites. “Big Eyes” by Rafael Krux will be playing towards the end of scene 2, all of scene three, and a little bit of scene four. Then “Lonely Mountain” as by Rafael Krux will enter in scene five. But towards the middle “Big Eyes” would come back and start playing again subtly in the background. The last scene, scene 8, “Creepy Hallow” by Alexander Nakarada will play. We then looked for the searched for the songs on youtube so that way we could easily retrieve them and use them in the film when the time comes to edit. Once we start filming, we can start piecing everything together. Then we can match up our music and finally see our film coming together. I'm glad that it wasn't too hard for us to agree on music. We were able to get it sorted all out in one class. My group members are very cooperative, and I'm glad they want this project to turn out just as well as I do. Picking the music is probably the thing I was stressing out the most about. It was mainly just because I've never really had to deal with this kind of stuff before. But now that it's done, I feel much better. I'm glad it was much easier and simpler than I originally thought it was.
