music time!

 My group has decided that it's time to start looking for music. There are a few times during our film that require music. We were planning on using thrilling, suspenseful music for those times. This is still the plan now. We decided that we would all look for music on our own. Then, we would discuss which selection was the best fit for our film. There is a slight obstacle, though. I can't just use any music. With a lot of available music, it is required to get permission to use before just using it. That is one option. The other is to use royalty free music that we find on a website that allows the use of this royalty free music. This might be a better option, but for now I am going to try to get the rights to use other music. Today, I emailed the production and copyright team of music icon Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino). I would like to be able to use his popular song Me and Your Mama in some of our scenes. This is for multiple reasons: not only does this song have sort of an eerie element to the beginning, which is the part I would suggest we use, but its lyrics are also a but hard to understand, which is good because they have no meaning in relation to our film. Also, it just so happens to be a very good song! I wrote the email in my notes app first and sent a copy to my groupmates to make sure it all was well-worded. Chances are his team will not reply, but it is still worth a shot!
