Title Sequence Music

The main music used in our production is from the company AKM, who sell copyright free/royalty free music, which once you have purchased, you can use as you wish without infringing any copyright issues. I thought these particular CD's that I have previously purchased would be well suited for this project. Below are the songs we considered for all pieces of music, that I have been able to pace on here through the company 'soundcloud' [www.soundcloud.com]. Although the entire song is available, here. the song may not have been used in it's entirety within the production.

To narrow down the song choices to these, we listened to all the AKM CDs that we thought could be appropriate, as the CDs are named by theme. We listened to: Weird and Wonderful; Feeling Good; Alternative Rock; Openers and End credits and Distant Moods. We wanted a song that was simple, had a slight rock n' roll feel to it, and be a song you could imagine waking up and getting ready to.

Look Inside from the AKM CD- Alternative Rock
The track has a repetitive tune and sounds like a song to accompany a transitional scene. It sounds simple, with mainly guitars playing and not much else. It becomes slightly cheesy around and after 0:42, but we don't need the track for much more than this.



Purple Tap from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
I think this track is definitely the sort of track you would wake up to, its up tempo and is very rock n' roll. As the track progresses, perhaps it doesn't fit the soundtrack you would accompany to get ready, for example the guitar solo starting at 0:28, I think doesn't fit the atmosphere we wanted to create.



Rush Hour from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
This track isn't as up tempo as the others, but is easier to cut things to the beat of this. At 0:26 the music changes completely and becomes a lot different to the atmosphere we wanted. Throughout the track, it continues to switch between the two different pieces of music and this inconsistency, we thought wouldn't fit very well.



Disco Harmonix from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
This track has an appropriate introduction, but as it progresses, as the title suggests, it sounds more disco -like. Which isn't particularly listened to nowadays and would clash with the time in when the scene is set. Also, although this is a light-hearted scene, disco music is not linked with thrillers, or crime.



Look Down from the AKM CD- Feeling Good
 Sounds very 'Feel Good' as the album title would suggest. Overall this track is suitable, as it is simple and has no certain feel to it, like disco or extremely rock n' roll. besides this, it sounds very overpowering and would possible overpower the scene. Although this cold be fixed by adjustment of volume and other levels; we have decided not to use this track.


After comparing all the tracks above, we have decided on Look Inside from the Alternative Rock CD as we thought this had the least negative points and just seemed to match the scene very well.
