I have finally found some music that I think is suitable for my opening sequence. Because of licensing we had to find an unsigned act, and get permission from them. I went on the website www.mp3unsigned.com, and browsed the website, and I found a song by the most popular act on the website- Redshirt theory. I listened to one of there songs
Move On. I thought that fitted the genre well. The song is an acoustic song, with vocals, by a british artist. And I thought this style fitted the themes and setting of my film. I emailed the artist asking for permission. Below is a screen shot of my email and his reply
In my email, I stated who I was, why I wanted the song, and also who would have access to my video. In my reply which I am still to send, I will state that he will be credited in my opening.
When he replied, he said I could use any of his songs, and gave me a link to his website. When looking at his website, i found hat he is actually quite successful, having designed music for well known computer and console games.
One decision that has been finalised due to the music is that I will no longer consider a voice over. As I like the music so much, I have decided not to have a voice over, as with the lyrics this will be confusing to listen to.
As I now found music, this means that my animatic can no be completed.
