Last year when making my end of year film, it became apparent how important sound is for a finished piece. The sound can automatically make or break the finished edit. I learnt this through trial and error. This year I would like to get it right. I am a great fan of all types of music and it is one of my main hobbies- I love going to music festivals. I love music as an art form and how it can make you feel. In making my documentary I am trying to portray a mood and tell a story and with the helping of the correct soundtrack I believe I can do this. Anyway, I came across this website called audio-network. I had used this site a few years back and I love the fact that you can search for copyrighted music and refine the results by choosing a particular mood. This is so useful as there are a lot of tracks on there. I really enjoyed listening to different tracks whilst watching the rough cut of my film.
A couple of days later I heard a song on the radio -Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer- This song immediately made a match for the tone and feeling I wanted to portray. It is emotional, catchy and quite quirky and there is a verse that mentions a boxer. (At 3minutes 16 seconds) I really want to incorporate at least this verse somewhere within my documentary.
