Re-Reccording Music

We tried re-reccording the music to improve the sound quality and also because of a few mistakes here and there particuarly noticable on 'Something'. I was also dissatisfied with the 'Yes It Is' as the music in the climatic scene. It didn't really flow, it all happened a bit to suddenly and seem a bit last minute and messy. The tone would have been perfect if we'd been using the original with the highly applicable words our version just didn't work.

I asked Katie what else she could play and found out she could play 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol. Neither of us liekd the song but when we put the film on mute and played it over the top it did fit perfectly and eased it's way into the scene beautifully with the correct fade in. So we reccorded it and I was right, it was a lot more effective than 'Yes It Is' despite not being nearly as good a song.

However everythign else we reccorded didn't go as well as we had hoped. It all came out muffled and pretty awful actually, I tried diffling about with the voume but that made it worse so in the end I only used 'Chasing Cars' and the sound effects we reccorded for the starfish, rainbow fish and squid joke and I had to put them through several sound filters before they were too standard.
