Choice of sound track

After creating our final opening sequence, it was important that we research and apply the best sound track which is relevant and fits with our opening sequence. The soundtrack takes up half of your overall production and can influence the whole scene, without the correct soundtrack, it can change the view point from the audience perspective and change the whole atmosphere of the scene. Because of this, it is vital that we create enough research by looking at other opening sequences of the same genre and pay specific attention to the soundtrack and ways in which it connects and fits with the scene.

By already produced our opening sequence of a mystery drama, following a young girls journey and dealing with the guilt and loss of her best friend. This has allowed it much easier to find a sound track that fits with this as a happy, loud and cheerful song would easily confuse the audiences and create a happy environment. This tells us that we need to select a piece of music that is sad and depressing giving a clear insight towards the characters life and emotions. Due to not being able to choice a piece of music that has been copyrighted we have to ensure we found a soundtrack that isn't branded or a mainstream piece of work. This involved looking on YouTube at simple soundtracks that do not involve it being copywriter. There are many we were able to select from but as a good we have decided on an instrumental which follows a rather sad tone in order to suit out production.

The track we have selected is liked below:
