If you are planning using music for your credits/opening scene, be aware that you aren't allowed to use any copyright materials. The coursework brief says:
All material for both tasks to be produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of musical audio effects from a copyright-free source.
The legal time limit on music copyright is:
70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies. If the author is unknown, copyright will last for 70 years from end of the calendar year in which the work was created, although if it is made available to the public during that time, (by publication, authorised performance, broadcast, exhibition, etc.), then the duration will be 70 years from the end of the year that the work was first made available.
So...you can either use music from before this time (eg classical music) or copyright-free music. You can Google 'copyright free music' as there are lots of sites that have copyright-free music available for download. Alternatively, there are sample soundtracks on Final Cut Pro which you can use.
