When looking for suitable music for our opening I came across a track that fitted our opening incredible well. However this piece of music was copyright and therefore we was not able to use the track un less we gain permission from the owner of the track. I made an attempt to contact the owner of the track however he did no get back to me. So we decided to carry on our search else where. Below is a screen shot of the track .

Again using YouTube we located a music instrumental called “chi raq” by meek mill. This sound had a constant beat to it which was suitable for the character in our opening sequence. However this music was copyrighted. Sophie was able to gain authorisation from the artist to use this track. However later on we decided to change the track as the music got annoying and repetitive

Free sound.com was a website where you can use different sound for free and are all copyright free. Here is where we located our backing track for our opening and had no problems with copyright issues. We search for various sounds that would be suitable for our opening. I took us only about 10 mins to find the perfect one which also corresponds to the voice over we have on our opening. Also for our opening sequence we came up with the idea of implementing the sound of sirens. This would be also be done by using free sound. Free sound offered us different siren sounds that were not suitable for our opening. However eventually we found a sound that was really realistic and could be incorporated into the opening sequence.
