Music

Last Minute Music

Although Leandro and I have not even filmed/ edited our film yet, we were already thinking of what songs we wanted to incorporate. We know we want to use a more upbeat and aggressive song to play on the radio as he is driving in the first couple of seconds. This will serve as a diegetic sound that may or may not become non-diegetic (we are still playing around with this idea). We also want a non- diegetic song to play at the end of the opening and when the title is shown. Leandro and I want this song to be more somber and slow.

While we were brainstorming a little bit about music, I came up with a song that would fit well for the sad music. The song "Natural Release- Brent Faiyaz" would fit perfectly the only issue is that we would have to ask for his permission to use it. This wouldn't have been too much of an issue if we had asked during week one, but of course we waited until week four. Despite this we still wanted to ask. Maybe some miracle would occur and he would answer. We had trouble trying to figure out how to ask for permission, however, we asked Mrs. Stoklosa (our teacher) and she advised us to contact him on email or social media. The song was produced by him, not a label, so we needed to go to him directly.

I emailed him and texted him on Instagram's direct message while Leandro used Twitter to message him. So far we haven't heard any responses, however, we are still hopeful. We are going to wait for a response up until we have to edit. If Brent Faiyaz does not grant his permission by then we will have to find another song that is free of copyright.


Originally Leandro and I wanted to stick with only using copyright free music to make things easier on us, and we still plan to do so for the other song. The only issue with copyright free music is that is can be hard to find. My teammate and I researched some websites that have royalty free music that we plan on looking through once we reach that stage.
