Music

In our Media lesson this morning, we have added the music of our choice onto our film opening.

* We looked at this copyright-free music website: http://www.audio.lgfl.org.uk/, searched and browsed through some thriller tracks.

We looked at 10 thriller tracks by various composers :
- Men In Black/Action Hero/In Memoriam by Paul Mottram and Gareth Johnson;
- Espionage 2 (60) by David O'Brien;
- Hidden Threat by David O'Brien and Johnny Lithium;
- Mysterons by David O'Brien;
- Driller Thriller by Matt Hill;
- Gumshoe by Mike Stobbie;
- Covert by Tom Quick and
- Silent Pouncer by Orlando Jopling.

* By process of elimination we narrowed it down to either 'Hidden Threat' or 'In Memoriam', as both had slow-paced music which creates and slowly builds up suspense which is suitable for our thriller film opening of a stalker.
* We believe our audience will find this music mysterious and creepy.
* After listening to it, they would notice that the film is going to be about something eerie.
* We agreed to select 'In Memoriam' as we preferred this track and it would go better with our opening after listening to it a few times.

* We imported this track on our opening title sequence and watched and listened to it.
* We were impressed with the music, although we preferred Granite by Pendulum, which was our original choice but we were not able to obtain it from a copyright-free website.

* Scene 10 - volume of the music is quite loud and the audience will not be able to hear the conversation clearly as it goes over it.
* Need to sort out the music's volume so it is quieter in this scene and the conversation can be heard clearly, but the music can still be heard in the background.

This did not take us long to do and the music is now finally finished.
