Planning: Music (Revised)

Following the creation of the first draft of the opening sequence, it became apparent that the chosen music needed some alterations. The end of the sequence merely required changing the order of the tracks 'MountainOfGods' and 'AracnaDiner'. However, we had originally used a section of the 'MountainOfGods' track to overlay on the dialogue, but it was too inaudible and unsuitable. We searched through many different music tracks, from different sources, and finally found one called 'Eye Spy' that was suitable. Unfortunately, it was copyrighted under the BBC as it was part of the soundtrack for Torchwood, so we emailed them to see if permission could be granted based on our requirements of the piece. Luckily, we were granted permission, as can be seen in the response below:

Question:

Is the music composed by Ben Foster under the copyright of Torchwood material, as we are currently completing a project for AS Media Studies, and wondered if it would be possible to use one of the tracks in a film we are making?

Response:

Copyright Information Found on the Official BBC Torchwood Website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood
If the material is only going to be used within your work and available only to you or the examiners, then yes, you may.

We therefore selected the track, and used it in the re-edit of the opening sequence.
