Editing process - music

For our film we think that music is very important as it will set the mood from the happy beginning which no worries or tie backs to dramatic as the trailer goes on. Choosing the most suitable music is crucial however we have to ensure that we do not use copy right music. 

The first piece of music we needed was something that the two best friends were getting ready to go out to. This music needed to be very upbeat to show they are going to a club and they have no worries. We searched for non-copyright music on youtube and on search engines and had a lot of difficulty finding music that wasn't cheesy and fitted the criteria. This piece of music we found on youtube and it is non-copyright (as stated by in the print screen). It fits the genre liquid drum and base which is a form of dance music. We played around with the music to get it to fit the scenes we needed and decided that we should carry it on through the 'club' scene too as this would work better than getting another piece of music.

The next piece of music we needed was something that would begin playing in the background when Emily wakes up from her one night stand. We decided to get a classical dramatic sound to show the audience that what has happened is going to effect Emily badly, we then made this music quiet as when we kept it loud it made the scene look quite freaky and more like a horror or thriller. I think this piece of music fits well with the scene.

When there is a disruption to the narrative, when Emily finds out she is pregnant and the trailer/story line turns dramatic we needed a piece of music that was going to pull on the audiences heart strings. Therefore we decided to remix and put our own twist on a song called Sailor & I. We slowed the piece of music right down to make it slower and more emotional, we thought that it sounded right for the mood change.
