Music

For our music we wanted to include something that was very eerie and scary. We desired to have this because we wanted to match the horror theme of our film. However, we did not want to ask permission to use anyone's music for a variety of reasons. One reason was that many artists take a long time to reply and give permission to utilize their music. We did not want to be set back in any way so we decided to find an artist on YouTube. At first I began to look for songs but I had a hard time finding a song. Then Adriana found a great creepy song called Melancholia. Adrian and I listened then listened to it on our own time. I listened to it when I was on break at work. However, Adrian listened to it at school with Adriana. We both really enjoyed the song for a variety of aspects. First, we liked how long the song was because it gave us options on which song segments we wanted to include. Next, the artist gave us permission to use there song in the comments of the YouTube video. This advantage took off an additional task that we needed to did if we needed to get permission to use the music. Lastly, having the song on YouTube made it easy to download compared to other platforms like Apple Music or Spotify. Having this option will allow Adrian to easily transfer the music onto the film that we do. As I viewed the comments of the song on YouTube I saw that the audience really felt the scary tone from the music. Reading these reflections from them made me really want to select this song as that tone was what we were trying to go for. I also really enjoyed the name of the song, Meloncholia. This name is actually the name of one of my favorite movies. Relating to the song made me want to include it more because I was comfortable with it. Overall Adriana made a great call and we will be incorporating it into our film.
