The Use of Copyright Free Music & Targeting Our Audience.

Within our film, we wanted to use a professional style music background that would create a sense of tension within the film to add to the Thriller genre of our choice. As a basis we visited www.audio.lgfl which is a copyright free site and chose a horror style piece of music that fitted perfectly to the scenes in our film which we were hugely pleased with. It consisted of continuous sharp sound effects rather than an ongoing composition yet worked so well and fitted in within the conventions of a thriller film which is exactly what we wanted to go alongside "Hotel Road"
We seperately researched the certification values such as 15 or 18 which we based along the aspects when targeting one specific audience. We have chosed to certify our film at a 15 as it involves mild forms of danger and horror yet isn't as extreme, such as bearing and using weapons such as knives or consisting of strong horror graphics. As the film contains teenagers of our own ages, we targeted to the same age audience of 15-17 as we believe this would interest them more by relating to similar social groups and relations which occur within the film, along with the excitement of danger and threat displayed within the '15' film opening.
