Music Research

While researching the music, we thought it may be possible to turn a love song into an eerie song, so we looked up artists of the 50's Bobby Darin and his song' Dream Lover came up multiple times. Due to the age it does not come under any copyright rules so we are able to use this. The song is quite fast so I used audacity to slow it down however this made the music sound dreary. However I believe this could work.


After researching some more I found that there were a lot of copyright-free Media Music that other students have produced as see below:


We then discovered that this sound would be a lot more appropriate for our film as it consists of tingling in the background, as we feel that this gives the idea of our aim that something mysterious happening.
Within our film we have a party scene. Without breaking copyright we need a song that is recent but is remixed by an unsigned DJ to set the house party scene. It was either this or finding a song from the 50's but this would not set the scene of a teenage house party or the modern vibe that our film has. By doing this we searched on YouTube for unsigned DJ's and people that had remixed songs, that we could use for our party scene.
This is what we found:
The two songs are Calvin Harris remixes that have a house party vibe. They have both been published by unsigned DJ's so do not break any copyright rules.       

 

Next we found another song.

We have finalised our decision and thought that the Calvin Harris- Thinking About You was the most suitable for our party scene.


We then found another song that would be suitable in our opening, as the lyrics have deep meaning.
They read 'Tonight you belong to me'
This could be played when Eileen is looking through the window at James, and the song is coming from her point of view about James. We will edit the song so that is sounds more creepy and mysterious. But we decided that this song was not good as the feedback we got did not determine the genre from this song, and people thought it was a happy song.
