Music For Our Sequence

Recently in our theory lessons we have started looking at the music industry. We have been learning about the big four and started doing case studys on our own independent record label and Sony.

These lessons have made our group start to think about the music used in our opening sequence and that composing it wont be as easy as we thought.

When planning our project the music slowly got moved further and further towards the end of the to do list as our main priority was getting all of the filming sorted first. Now that we have finished our filming we turned to the music problem to see how we could solve it.

Our original plan was to use a local band called Monday Comas music as 2 members of our group are in the band. However although the band was happy for us to use any of their music so long as we had the bands name featured in the titles we couldnt decided which song suited our sequence as although the tune fits perfectly the lyrics arent as upbeat as we want our film to seem.

People may look on this problem as something very minor but the soundtrack to a film says alot about the film itself. For example you wouldnt use a dubstep/elctro track on a romatic comedy you would use it on an action thriller possibly.

A good example of soundtracks used in film is all of the bond films. They all use a rememerable theme tune which tends to sell well before and after the film due to the synergy used by the producers of the film and of the track itself.

This is the song we will be using for our film.
