Music.

In our title sequence there is no talking so music is a key feature. During one of our double lessons while Esther was editing the footage we had Nicole and I went onto a computer each and started to look for some music that we thought would be good to use. We first tried youtube for uncopyrighted music but didn't have much luck. We then went onto soundcloud & freeplaymusic.com to look for something that would be appropriate for our sequence, this time we managed to find quite a few that we both liked. After a little while of searching we both came together and listened to what each other had found. We then discovered that we both really liked an artist we had found on freeplaymusic called 'Lisa Jaeggi'. After spending a while listening to all of her songs we discussed which one we liked best and we found we both really loved her song 'Better The Devil You Know' and we all agreed that it fitted our sequence perfectly.
We are sure that this song is uncopyrighted however we thought it would be nice to email Lisa Jaeggi herself to see if it was perfectly okay to use her song, unfortunately we haven't had a reply back from her but we have done our research and can find no reason to not use it.
The email we sent read:
'Hi,
      We are Welling school pupils and for our A Level Media coursework we are making a title sequence for a film that we have created. We were instructed to use a piece of either uncopyrighted music or music we have had permission to use by the writer. We found your song 'The Devil You Know' on the website https://www.freeplaymusic.com/ and were wondering if you could grant us permission to use your song, which fits in really well with our sequence.

Many Thanks,

Chloe Ridley
Nicole Simmons 
Esther Sole'
