Artists

From my research I found that pop music was mainly used in romantic comedies. To avoid issues with copyrights and similar, I decided to use the music of lesser known artists and those who are happy for theyre music to be used.

Alex Day is an independant musician who is happy for anyone to use his music, he sees it as free exposure if anyone wishes to use his music, so is perfectly happy to let people use it. In this video 4minutes and 52 seconds in, he states that he's happy for anyone to use his music.



Below are some tracks by Alex that I think could be possible to use within the trailer. I have used annotations on them to show which parts of the song may be suitable for the trailer.

Forever Yours- Alex Day

• Lyrics have a general theme of friendship and travelling- similar to trailer

• fast tempo, upbeat 

Forever Yours- Alex Day [Instrumental]

• at time too dark and too much bass

 

Good Morning Sunshine- Alex Day

• as the majority of the trailer is about dislike- perhaps in general the song is too happy

Lady Godiva- Alex Day [Instrumental]

• very vairable- some bits could work very well, whilst others may not work at all

 

Holding On- Alex Day

• big gaps of lyrics break the song up and allow it to be used over dialogue easier 

Candy Floss- Alex Day

• in general, the song is a bit childish 
• should avid speaking sections 

This Kiss- Alex Day [Instrumental]

• no parts that really should be avoided, all sections fit the trailer

 I wanted some soundtrack for the interim feedback stage so I simply placed the majority of This Kiss over the video as that has the least faults. For the final video I will use pieces of a variety of these tracks, depending on what mood I require or the timing and beat.
