Soundtrack Ideas- Mia and Jack

We have looked at a number of different soundtracks which we would like to include in our film as both diegetic and non-deigetic sound. We have decided that we would want multiple soundtracks in order to fit in with the different contexts.

One example that we have found is a soundtrack called 'All The Family Together'.

We think this would be appropriate for the opening sequence of the film, which includes the opening shot of the house, and introduces the family who are initially decorating the Christmas tree. We feel this would be apparent because the sequence is very gradual and up-beat which is parallel to the soundtrack.

Another example is a a song by Mantovani & His Orchestra which is a cover of Jingle Bells:

We would also like to include a traditional Christmas song which will be well known to a wide audience as we would like to emphasise the traditional Christmas events so that the spectator will be able to relate. However to create a more modern twist to the sequence we would like to use the traditional songs but covered by a modern artist.
Here are some examples of the covers:







This is a collection of different royalty free Christmas music. We think that some of the songs would be good to use over our short film as they are upbeat, and create the right mood for our narrative.

  1. Animatic? Have I missed this? It's the most important part of the planning!

  2. These soundtracks are copyrighted aren't they? Don't forget all sound must be created by you, or copyright permission must be obtained in writing. I see the royalty free examples at the bottom, but for a higher level than low 3, you will need to spend more time analysing the style and mood you want to convey, and start looking at other copyright free possibilities.
