Finding Music

On Thursday I went to Taylor's house after school because we needed to edit our project, but while we were editing we decided that we needed to find our music because it's super important for the production. I was still stuck on the idea of using the song Mr. Sandman, but I knew we couldn't use it because of copyright issues. I started to think about other creepy songs from the early 1900's and I remembered the song that plays at the end of the shining. The song is called Midnight, the Stars, and You but as I was listening to it, I realized it doesn't really go with our film and it might confuse the audience about the time period of our film, so I scrapped that idea.

Taylor and I went on KillerTracks, which is a website that has royalty free music, and we began to search for a perfect song for our opening. We spent about an hour and a half playing songs over our film to see if it flowed nicely, but so many of them didn't work. Finally we found a song that worked and emailed our teacher to download and send to us. I don't remember the name of the song but I know it sounds sort of eerie and mysterious. We're also using the natural sounds of our production and if we need to, we're going to create foley sounds. Our production is going to have the music playing in the background and then we're going to have the natural sounds playing a little louder over the music. Below is the song we chose.
