Music Decisions

       Throughout our editing process, we thought it was essential to add music to our film introduction. So, we decided it was best to use uncopyrighted music instead of copyrighted. This would mean that we would have to ask to owners for permission. As a result, we decided to start our web search on uncopyrighted music that would fit our film introduction's tone which was mystery. I came across several websites that included music that we could use for personal use. For example, we found this website, that provide several tracks that we could use for our film introduction. However, we could not find a track that could fit our film properly.


       All seemed to be either too happy, too dramatic, or too sad. So we continued our hunt for the perfect soundtrack. To help our decision making, we decided to leave out any songs with lyrics. Eventually, we found a track and thought it would be a great idea to use this audio (Industrial Cinematic-MacLeod).
   
    This track fit perfectly because it fit well with both the simple stalker scenes and the others including Carlos running. So, we chose this track for the entire film opening as shown below.


       As shown above, we decided to use this track because it helps emphasize the plot of the story that we are trying to convey to the audience. Therefore, we thought we made the best choice.  Overall, we kept the editing very simple. For example, as you can see we basically used several short slips and placed them in chronological order. This technique of using these short clips only gives the viewer a glimpse of the mise-en-scene, creating anticipation.
