MUSIC AND SOUND

Copyright gives the creator of music , a film and a book  legal rights to control who uses the product and how it is distributed.This is to endure the creators or artist will get paid. 

It is important for users like us to use copyright free sounds or music  as using  copyrighted sounds in other projects  is illegal (breaking the law). 

In class we were told to watch an opening of a teen movie without it's sound . we then used creative commons a site range  with  a range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. This organization has also  released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. This allows creators to communicate which rights they reserve. We spent time getting to know how to navigate round the site and found music from creative commons that we felt would complement the clip.We also used 'Soundcloud '  ; an audio platform that enables sound creators to upload, record, promote and share their originally-created sounds , as there's a wide range of different genres of music with  clear and good quality sound .We then edited the music onto the clip using Final Cut Pro.  

We decided to select the sound from Soundcloud as there's a wide range of different copyright free sounds which we thought was suitable for the clip.We used a Sitar guitar as it creates the calm , chilled atmosphere just as shown  in the opening of the movie . For example wide shots are used to show a sea  to show the location and surroundings of where this main character lives or staying in . The sea shown at the start of the opening creates a peaceful ambience which demonstrates the film is not as dramatic. In addition the slow motion movement of the camera around the room helps convey this as well.

We watched this clip on the creative commons site before we started editing as it helped us explore and navigate the site well.
