Unit 3: Music - Live For The Weekend

Various scenes in the film we are producing require music to fit with the storyline. For example the party scene and moor scene.

Patrick was tasked with creating music, he initially attempted to make some of his own music using Garageband but after several iterations, we still didn't think the music sounded realistic enough for use within the film.

Party Music 1:




We thought this clip was too repetitive and didn't really have any builds or drops suitable for dancing too at a party.

Party Music 2:




Whilst this track had an increased tempo better for dancing too at a drunken party we still thought it was too repetitive for the story in our film. We needed something to build with a slow tempo from the start and result in a fast dance song with drops etc.

Party Music 3:



Whilst this sample fitted the storyline of our film a little better (it builds slowly) we still weren't happy with how 'realistic' it sounded. It didn't sound like a dance track teens would play at a party.

Party Music 4:



This track was our best yet, we were happy that it started at the right pace and built up to an increased temp that fitted our storyline. We also thought it sounded much more realistic. This was a track we decided we could 'fall back on' if we couldn't come up with anything better before the final film.

Whilst we were editing the film we contacted Producer Tom Zanetti and enquired to see if it would be possible to use some of his music within our film. His management team responded within a few days and gave us permission to use the tracks 'You Want Me', 'Darlin'' and 'More and More', so we decided to use these within the film.


I sourced some 'sad' music for the closing scene for the film from copyright free music site bensound.com. They state the music is fine to use for non-commercial use as long as they are credited (which we will do in the credits). 


The sound effect for the car collision at the end of the film was picked up from freesound.org, who have a similar policy to bensound.
