Planning the OTS

Sound

For our opening title sequence we need to find a piece of music that is ideally suited to the story and also to make sure it fits in with the Film Noir genre, and that it is also fairly relevant. The most simple thing that we could do would be to use some music that somebody else has created, but this wouldn't be possible for us because of copyright protection laws and also because we'd lose marks. A link to a website that explains in detail about music copyright can be found here. 

However, we have discussed the idea of creating our own piece of music using an online music creator since none of us actually have experience creating music with any instruments, except at an extremely basic level. The programme we are considering using, we are quite familiar with as we've used it during some of our KS3 music lessons at school. 

http://www.audiotool.com/ - this is the internet site we could use to create the music.

A possible problem that we could encounter with using 'Audiotool' is that it is quite technical in some areas and this could make it difficult to produce a piece of finished music. We should be able to overcome that obstacle because there are various video tutorials available online. The second problem we might face whilst using 'Audiotool' is not being able to produce a piece of music that conforms to the genre that our OTS will be. The only option we have is to spend a good amount of time on Audiotool to experiment with the different sounds.
