Already I had been working on the actual song I was hoping to use, for a while, so editing it to be used in my animation really consisted of tidying up what was there and cutting the original song down from 7 minutes to 1 minute.
Cutting the song down.
Editing the sound levels.
It was quite sad having to chop out some of my favourite parts but the reality of it was to cut it down or do a hefty load of more animating which I didn't really have the time for when i already had a good simple story and scenes.
I think if I stuck to my original plan of creating a song from scratch, it would have been a lot harder with working a lot on something completely different from the prior skills I needed to develop and present in this project.
I think working on my music for myself rather than having a strict deadline is quite nice because what comes out of it is always very natural and it can be added to whenever without worrying about what's necessary and not. From that I can always have something to use for background music and cut out what I find unnecessary for the certain project.
In order to match the song well with the film, I plan on editing the a good fade in, fade out intro and outro. I think this could be done well with the opening title and end credits.
