Sound

For our horror film, we used sounds from freesounds.com. This website allowed us to use appropriate sounds for our film for free without any copyright issues. The main song we used started out quiet but it was also eery which we thought would be good to set the atmosphere. But as the film goes on, the song gets louder and spookier which creates tension and hints that something is about to happen.

Copyright research

For our film, we need to include sound of some sort and because we didn't want to breach any copyright laws so we researched the copyright law for sound recordings and this is what we found.

"Under the 1988 Act, copyright in a sound recording expires either (a) 50 years after the recording is made, or (b) if the recording is published during that period then 50 years from the publication, or (c) if during the initial 50 years the recording is played in public or communicated to the public then 50 years from that communication or playing to the public, provided the author of the broadcast is an EEA citizen. Otherwise, the duration under the laws of the country of which the author is a national applies, unless such a duration would be longer than offered in UK law, or would be contrary to treaty obligations of the UK in force on 29 October 1993."
