Week 4 3/11-3/17

3/12
Well, I never really thought finding music was so hard. Connor and I want to do something that suits the movement of the video which is actually harder then it looks. In doing this we have to play each song over our film and see if it matches, this can get tedious, really fast. I thought third would take about 10 minutes but it’s lasted over a two day discussion. Part of the problem is copyrighting. After doing some research I had to find out what songs are copyrighted and if they are how to tell if they are. First, Mrs. Stoklosa directed us to the tab it should be under in YouTube. However, after doing further research I came to realize not all regular instrumentals are really free, if you click on it they are looped versions of the original Audio or remakes for purchase. There are only a select few that sound hype and uptempo without sounding cheesy that we came across. There’s a big balance between a channel making a beat, those are usually the corny ones vs a person uploading them onto a channel. The ones that are made by individual producers allowing there beats to be downloaded for free are the gems. Here is the main top 5 list we have.

• Free meek mill type beat- Zoom
• Future- Super trapper 
• 2 milly- milly rock 
• Young dolph- Kush on the yacht (my favorite)
• 6ix9ine - Tati

It was tough a lot of perfect songs we could have used like On the regular by Meek Mill or Outro by Meek Mill both have a choir element imbedded into the beat that we see a lot in boxing films, anything with that angelic tone mixed with a dark beat at a fast pace spits out success and a lawsuit because we can’t use it lol. Next class we will pick the song, and finish up the video!
