Sound

Through out the film, I edited in sound effects to create the atmosphere of the areas and locations featured.
These sound effects where free and royalty free. They where sounds such as gun shots, traffic, office sounds and came from these following websites:

We recorded the sounds live, using an in camera microphone. The camera in question was a Canon 500d.

For the soundtrack, we used a mixture of music from different sources. First, we used music from the "Big Fish" soundtrack. This suited the early tone of our film, as we introduced the characters getting ready. This light, major music helps make the films atmosphere of 'humble' beginnings at the start.

For the majority of the film, we used the soundtrack from the video game "LA Noire" to suit our Noir feeling.
Most of this music featured pianos, trumpets and bass suiting the 50's theme. A taster is below. The Songs we used where:

 Redemption Pt. 1 and 3
 Use and Abuse Pt. 1, 2, 3 and 4
 Fall From Grace Pt.1 & 2
 The Investigation Theme
 New Beginning Pt. 2
 Pride of the Job Pt 2

For the final moments of the film, we used a track titiled "Every Dream Comes To An End" by the collective "UNKLE". The track suited our tragic ending well with the strings emphasizing this.

These tracks are not royalty free, but to bypass this I used the Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976 which allows for 'Fair Use' of all the songs.
