Choosing the music

 After spending several hours researching music that would work well with our film, my group and I finally made a choice. I personally began by looking up royalty free short film music. After searching and listening for a while, nothing immediately stood out to me. I was able to select a few songs that I liked and kept in the back of my head as I worked. Songs like "Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus" were among them. The song's instrumental majority, slow speed tempo, and peaceful atmosphere appealed to me. It was eerie yet different. It seemed like a fantastic subject for the film to me. Additionally, I thought the Backwash song "Black Magic" had a great opening that was nearly the ideal fit for the movie because it was slow pace and eerie. However, I didn't enjoy the song's remaining portions. I would just need to remove the song's opening section in order to use it in the movie. Then I would have to continue and play it repeatedly for the length of the movie. I thought this would be too difficult because of the difficulties we had while trying to tinker with the music last year. I didn't want to deal with it again since I knew the music would sound choppy or harsh when it was played. In case I couldn't discover anything better, I wrote the songs down on a word document and started looking. I then listened to royalty-free music at this point. I kept thinking of what kind of specific music we could use. Then it hit me, old fashioned music. I searched up old 20's music. I couldn't find any good options, so then i searched up "Royalty free 60's music". I found a playlist of old Seeburg basic background music from a record player. I chose the best fit one for the film. After finding the song, I sent it to the groupchat with my partners to see their opinion. It took about an hour to get a response from any of my partners. Dara was the first to listen to it, and she loved it. Mila was the second, and she agreed with the choice. Lastly, Violet listened to it and we all agreed to use it for the film.
