Copyright

When finding music for the opening of our thriller it was hard to find a piece because we had to use non-copyrighted music. Most songs made by mainstream and signed musician are copyrighted which means that we don't have the right to use their music in our own production.  It also means that copyrighted songs are not allowed to be cut and put into a different order or  a cover of the same to be made. But copyrighted music can help give us an idea of what sort of music we would like to use. We had a choice of using non-copyright music of an website, ask permission of an unsigned bands, make the music ourself or use music under creative commons. Creative commons means that we can use a song just for the purpose we stated and it cannot be cropped, cut or resequenced in any way.The source of our music was http://www.mobygratis.com/, this is a website which specialises in music for independent and non-profit making films, using creative commons .
