Using Copyright Free Music
For my group and I, the sound and music in our film opening was hugely important, because it made such a big impact and made the overall piece seem even more professional. We had to find a piece of music that suited our thriller theme perfectly, but that was also uncopyrighted and after browsing different websites, we used audio.lgfl.org.uk, a copyright free website, to find the music we wanted. The music consisted of sharp, edgy sound effects and after applying the chosen sound, we then had the task of editing the music so that it was cut to the action of the film. We were amazed at how perfectly the edited version of the music fitted with our opening and we all noticed how much of a difference the convention of sound made.
Targeting Our Specific Audience
Another aspect we had to think about was our target audience and what certification would be appropriate for our opening. Our research of the possible certifications led us to label our own opening as a '15', due to the mild forms of horror presented without a strong amount of violence or graphic detail. We used http://www.screenonline.org.uk/ to understand how suitable our film was for our audience and because we had teenagers starring in our film, we decided to target 15 to 17 year olds. We thought that the opening would appeal mostly to teenagers of this age range because they could relate to their own particular social group whilst also enjoying the elements of danger and excitement. We would expect our opening to make them an attentive and engaged audience, consequently making our film opening one that was hugely successful.
