drop the beats

Today, I browsed our options for available music. We looked at sounds available to use without credits. Doing this we found some we liked. However, we still chose to research the things needed to get credits for a specific song or sound. To get these credits, you need to email the company with the rights to the specific thing you want and ask them for permission to use it. You have to be very specific on what you want the rights for. They may take a while to answer so we emailed them as soon as we knew what song we wanted to use. Until we have received an email allowing us to access the rights. We have come up with a back up plan. I browsed the available sound effects on Imovie to find one that would fit with our movie. It has a retro sci-fi beat. Making it the perfect addition to our movie if we cannot get the proper credits needed. Finding the sounds on Imovie was a simple process as all of them were titled and separated into different categories. The sound titles were very specific. Making it easy to find just what I wanted in a short amount of time. Finding the right person to send an email to regarding the rights to the song was not necessarily an easy thing to do. However, the most nerve racking part is waiting for the response from the company. Once we figure out if we can use the song or not we can start adding it to the film. This will take place during editing. This will be a fun thing to do because we get to see it all come together. Since music is one of the most important parts in a film I am excited to see how the music will affect ours.
