Advoiding Copyright

To advoid copyright infringment we have chosen not to use "let the drummer kick" by Citizen Cope. This song is owned by dream works reccords. 

Instead we have chosen to create our own sound track using garageband. Garageband is is a software application for Mac OS X that allows you to create your own music or podcasts. It was created by Apple as a part of  their iLife software.Garageband is a digital audio creator and music sequencer, which can record and play back multiple tracks of audio.

Notes
Our film Shows how there is always going to be someone bigger and better than you. We will use pull focus to highlight the person we are concentrating on in the particular scene. All scenes will be shot in a school environment because this is easy available to us. We will also only be using two actors outside of our class to make it easy for us to organise filiming.
