Adele was approached to be the artist to sing the theme song of Skyfall. The song she came up with was released on the 5th of October, the song is now available on itunes for only 99p, this is very cheap in comparison with other singles including Adele’s other songs that are available on itunes, the positive for the song being able to purchase at such a low price is that a lot of people are likely to buy the single which will make them aware of the movie and will encourage them to watch it. The song was quickly made famous and reached number 1 in the UK and number 8 in the states. Adele is currently at her peak in her career and having her sing the theme tune is great publicity for Skyfall. This video on youtube has currently got 61,186,863 and is currently increasing.

Editing our Swede

We used Final Cut Pro to edit our swede. We watched through all of our footage back and had to choose the best clips and put them together to make our final swede. To edit we had to be very careful and precise and even the slightest error can make a film look bad. After we finished editing our swede we added background music we chose from YouTube to add to the tension of our horror. These photo grabs above display our edits and cuts we used in Final Cut Pro.
