Our final OTS

As our OTS will be a silent film, we needed to create a good enough soundtrack for it to fill the gap where there would usually be audio.

 "For all other AS and A2 video, copyright audio MAY NOT be used. Soundtrack must be original or from a royalty free source. could however mean that the students perform an existing song/piece of music themselves- as the audio is made by them."

This was taken from one of the OCR websites. Although we know that we're not allowed to use someone else's song for our soundtrack, we've mashed together two songs and edited them slightly so that they match each other and our OTS. Therefore we've created our own soundtrack and won't be infringing copyright laws.

Lou Reed - 'Perfect Day' and Iggy Pop - 'Nightclubbing' are the two songs we've used for our OTS. They fit the desolate, moody and atmospheric vibe that we are aiming for in our OTS. As well as this, the lyrics in Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' contrasts heavily with the scene in which it's used in our OTS, which puts a strong emphasis on the footage. Iggy Pop's 'Nightclubbing' is used during the scene where the femme fatale is introduced, as it has a mysterious and almost seductive vibe.
