Better Days - Bensound (Royalty Free Music)

When I continued my search for royalty free music, I came across Better Days, created by Ben sound.  What caught my attention was the ambient hum at the beginning, which amplified with the electric guitar to create a sad emotion. The overall effect is quite haunting, which I thought would help to enforce Stephanie's feeling of helplessness and isolation in her bedroom.

After editing the opening sequence with both pieces of music, I came to realize that Better Days had a clearer tone and was more useful for the scene . The fact that the song was shorter allowed me to manipulate the order or the electric guitar riffs, as one of the main issues with Ether was the drums that kicked in halfway through the song. This drum ruined the emotion of the scene and distracted from the emotion of the performances.

By using Royalty Free Music I am able to give musicians credit for the work they have done, as well as have a creative influence on the way the spectator reads and understands the narrative that is happening.
