Music For Film Final

Takedown by kram.b

This is the track we have used on the final edit of our film. We didn't so much choose it, it was more a coincidence than anything. When our teacher was showing us how to load music onto the macs, we just happened to put this on, watched it through, and it matched all the action perfectly. We double checked by comparing other songs we had on there, just to make sure, but Takedown was by far the best track we had for the film.

Ident Draft





The one thats just the camera on a white background was just me basically messing around, trying to see what I could do with photoshop. The second one I did is a proper attempt, and a version of an ident I'd quite like to use. I took inspiration from one I've seen on a film i once watched, but can't find on the internet.

Learning Skills Work- Media Studies



This is just basically a project I did for Learning Skills, in additon to what I'm doing for coursework. I chose to make my project on Media because I wanted to spend more time on coursework, and it was a good chance to further research the music and editing of films, which I felt I needed to do.
