Music in my opening.
Music... in my opening
Music in my... opening
(I couldn't think of a title)
The process of picking music for the opening was actually surprisingly easier than I thought. I went to one of my favorite websites for copyright free music called bulletproofbear.com, typed in "Western Music" and I listened to a couple tracks. One that stood out to me was "Gunfire at Sundown". I'm not sure exactly what made it so appealing to me. Maybe it was the harmonious strings in the background that many of my researched Western's incorporated. Maybe it was the slow start and quick ending, matching the vibe of our opening. Or, more likely, it was the cool ending note that really signified something big was bound to happen. 
After I downloaded it, I plugged it into my Premiere Pro timeline and it actually fit fairly well.
Video I took to send to my group immediately after I put it in premiere
The consensus around it was that it fit. And Renn, ever the researcher, confirmed that it did in fact align with many of the Westerns we scouted.
I had to edit the song a bit because it was a bit shy of our runtime, so I spliced it where there were repeating notes, copied it, and overlayed it on itself to continue it. I stretched it out so we could have the final note I loved so much act as a closer for the video on screen. My words don't do it justice so here's what I'm talking about.
Impressive, I know.
