Music Choice

In the editing suite nearing the end of completeling our piece, we had to find a piece of music for our project, I had tried to find piece on Myspace and other places on the internet but none of which seemed suitable for the imagery we were trying toget across, each piece of music that I had fgound I put on the film, there would ber a large clash and Jon told us he thought we may need to hunt futhur. We ended up finding the most unlikely piece of music for our film noir, it's a song called Snuff by Slipknot, and slipknot are a well known band with the younger generations, it may even appeal to them when watching the film. The lyrics are about love and drinking to cover your sorrows, this definately fits with the theme of our project.We then had to apply for permision to use the music, we have to pay for the royalties to use it.
