I am not going to submit this 10 seconds film to the website 10secfilmfest. This is mainly due to copyright issues, which i will explain later. However if i did submit the piece there are guidelines that i have to stick to in order to submit it. So for example it needs to be in the following:-
MPEG 4 (compression)
720x576 pixels
25 fps
PAL
or to use Quicktime instead of MPEG 4.
These are the rules in order to submit and that everything else is also your own work and that it does not break the laws of copyright.
Now the reason i am not submitting is due to the fact that the soundtrack that i picked is from Linkin Park, called "One Step Closer". This is copyrighted so i cannot submit to the website due to this simple reason. I tried to search the internet for royalty free soundtracks, but my search for the right type of music and actually aquiring the soundtrack instead of buying a CD or subscribing proved to be too difficult so i stuck with what i had and found the right track to go along with the sequence.
In the future, if i was going to do this again i would aim to look and keep looking, or ask an audio student to help make my own soundtrack so that i get exactly what i want for a particluar sequence instead of editing an soundtrack that is already there and molding it to suit the piece. This is something i have learned throughout this project.
