plans for soundtrack

Sound and music is also important to consider as they create enigma and provide the storyline for the film opening, creating the atmosphere that reflects the mood we are trying to create. We researched our ideas and talked about tradition music that is used in film noir and used Garageband to create our own track, as then we could create the enigma and romantic feel and did not have to think about copyright laws. We used a piano for the opening music as this was slow enough to match the pace of the editing as well as still being interesting enough to help create suspense.

We have several songs that we created on Garageband using orchestral and other options to narrow the possibilities and find loops of music that would create the correct sound. For example, we knew that we needed a main instrument to create the mood. We needed a loop that fitted the pace and created the right atmosphere. Our first song did use a piano but was too repetitive and did not have variety so after listening to it a few times we decided that we could create another song that would create suspense as well as a romantic theme. Our second song was the final song that is used in our final cut of the film opening. It has the original idea of using the piano but also uses a range of other instruments to add variety as well as being a catchy.
