The Music!A little info about the music I will be using in my

coursework

Its all about the music.As the music is one of the most important

parts to any media product. It must be thought about carefully.

I have spent quite alot of time researching different pieces of music that I could use in my coursework.

Various websites were used in this, all royalty free.

The opening.For the opening or first part of my piece. I

need something that isn’t quite dramatic/in your face but eerie.

So, why not use the music I created for my AS coursework?!

It fits perfectly, well, it does now, a little bit of tweaking and its perfecto!

Lucky, aye?

The main part.For this I need something upbeat, in your

face, loud, exiting.After hours of research, I was looking at

some of the trailers that I used for my research, when I found that the music from ‘The Final Destination’ was exactly what I wanted!

The main part. Cont.

Now, obviously I couldn’t just take the song and use it straight away. That isn’t allowed.

I had to get permission to use the song!So I researched into the song, found it was

by Shirley Walker, who unfortunately passed away. So I went for second in command; Varese Sarabande Records, Inc.

What follows is the conversation I had via email with Kevin Elliot, the vice president of Licensing and copyrights.

Permission granted! So I can use the song, great. But I cant use the whole song now can I? I must edit the

song myself to coincide with the exam boards expectations etc.

So on with that! I have put in additional sounds to match with the timing of my product. As well as incorporating other bits of music from the piece i created for last years coursework.

The final song can obviously be seen in my final piece of coursework!

To avoid any possible conflict with the record company, I have decided not to publish the original song online.
