Recording our soundtrack

One of the members of our group, Emily, already writes songs and has her own YouTube Channel Emily Lawson Official. We didn't have much luck finding a suitable soundtrack on royalty free websites, so we decided to use one of Emily's own compositions, 'Train to anywhere':

We decided that the lyrics and name of this song best fit the themes of travel, youth and love that we were trying to express in our opening, as well as the acoustic guitar conforming to the conventions of the coming of age drama. We thought that this sort of music would also appeal to our target audience and reflect our character's youth and vitality.

Here is a video of Emily practicing before we re-recorded the song in school.

 

By using one of Emily's own composition we didn't have any copyright issues or royalty fees.
