Music for our Opening Sequence

The music we intend to use in our film is mainly ambient and natural, however we also want to have some sort of tension building music which we will find on the media departments free film music section. We have decided to use this type of music because it is commonly found in thriller films, the slow tension building music creates anticipation amongst viewers as they can feel something is going to happen but don't know when. The ambient sounds of the environment will also help our film because it shows the real feeling of the surroundings; in the boiler room for example will be hearing quiet machinery and hissing sounds which suggest danger .

Another option we have available to us is the ability to create a piece of music using music composition software which will be more suited to our film as I can decide when certain music elements happen, eg. Changing dynamics for tension building moments. I will be able do this in the Music department at college.

We most likely won't use sound fx in our film as it doesn't require them, but if some sounds come across to quiet we may need to record the sounds separately to the film then import them in when we are editing.

Nathan has found some good ambiant background music for our film. He has found this using www.sounddog.com which is a copyright free music distrubiting website which ticks all the boxes for the project guidelines. An example of some good background music can be  heard in the draft of our film.

  1. You may want to find some tracks that you could use and embed them here via a site like Divshare or Soundcloud and comment on the mood/ atmosphere that they create that you think appropriate to your film. This needs a little more development?
