                                                                Music Scouting


                Hey readers, first and formally, I just want to say thank you for staying on this journey with me. It has been one adventurous ride and I'm glad we're still on it together. I just want to say that this blog posting is very important to me. This is because it is all about music! Music is one of my favorite things and I have an immense passion for it. Regarding my film opening, I am tasked with finding an ideal song that qualifies the sound element of my film opening. My ideal song is a romance song for, the genre of my film is indeed romance! That being said, let's dive right into the search for outstanding romance songs/soundtracks ...


               To start off, let's discuss the resource I used to brain storm and broad cast music. This resource allowed me to access Copyright Free Music. Regarding the "Planning" blog post I posted on February 23, 2023, I mentioned a few songs I was considering adding into my film opening. These songs were performed by artists such as Bruno Mars, H.E.R., and Glenn Travis. However, access to these songs was hard and/or tricky to come by so I chose to go the Copyright Free route. Ultimately, I am glad I chose to go use Copyright Free Music because the resource I used had some phenomenal songs and each song allowed you to really connect with what was being played. 


Here is the resource I used:








            As I came across the Youtube Audio Library, I began listening to various songs that were available. All kinds of music were displayed and each music had their own spark or essence to it. The music genre I completely focused on was Romance. My goal was to find a song that had a natural and calm feel to it. A song that would engage my audience and only help them focus on what was happening in my film opening. That being said, here are some of the songs I considered using in my film opening:
 







      Both of these songs have a very calm feel to it. In addition, both of these songs are enjoyable and very easy to listen to. These songs will not only allow the audience to enjoy the film opening, but the music as well. Sunset Walk by Roa has more of an upper beat and has a summer feel to it. Feel by Land of Fire has more of a slower beat and has a sentimental feel to it. All in all, both of these add something different to my film opening and while I decide which song to use, I am going to continue to listen to other music ...

     As I listened to other songs, I am proud to announce that I have chosen the song for my film opening. The song has the exact natural and romantic feel I am trying to pursue. It really connects with what is being shown and I am confident that the audience will love the music choice. Without further ado, may I present to you the song choice for my film opening:
