Audio

Tayla took on the rule to find out the audio that we are going to be using for our production. Audio is an important factor in a production as it can help to add emotion, or sound effects can be used to add impact. Although, in order to use any type of audio in our production we will need to ask for permission from the producer or owner of that piece of audio, and failure to do this could result in the breach of the copyright laws. This is important as we will be also sharing our production on social networking sites and also on our blogs which can be viewed by the public. Tayla then began researching over a range of websites to find any audio that will suit our production. She firstly found a website called ‘Sound Bible’ which includes a range of soundtracks. She found a soundtrack called ‘small crowd’which we would be using for the scenes where we want it to seem like there is a lot of people in the background. Tayla also found a clip called ‘footsteps on cement’ which would be effective to use when somebody is walking.

 

 

 

Tayla then went onto YouTube to look for soundtracks to use in our production. She came across an artist who uploads piano covers of songs. She found a cover of ‘London Grammar’s’ track ‘strong’ and Rudimentals’s track ‘Not giving in’. Both of these tracks would be good to use as they are both slow, and would then fit the mood that we want to give off when showing our production which is sad/upsetting. Tayla then messaged both of the artists to see if we would be able to include our tracks in our production, as this means that we are not violating any copyright laws. Tayla is still waiting for a reply, and when we do get an answer we will then be able to decide as a group which track is better suited for our production.

A few days later Tayla recieved an email back from the artist allowing us to use his covers of the songs 'London Grammar' and 'Not giving in'. When we get to the post-production stage we will then decide what song is best suited to our production, and we will then be crediting the artist during the production.
