Music

Potential music

We want to have music in our opening scene. We will have it as background music when there is dialogue, but when there isn't, it will be the main thing that the audience hear. We want to make sure that the music fits in with the genre of the film, so it has to represent crime and have a dark/tense beat to it. We have narrowed down our choices to two. These are 'Dirt Rhodes' and 'Groove grove'

Dirt Rhodes

This is the first of the two that we have narrowed it down to. The reason why we like this is because the tempo of it felt like a crime. The music genre is blues and i think blues is what best fits in with crime. Dirt Rhodes to me felt dark and mysterious which is what you want in a crime film, and that fits our story quite well. To me it also feels quite gangster, like something you would use to show gangsters or someone of a high power, walking a long a street or something, and while we don't have gangsters, we will show our character walking and i think this music fits in well with that, as it's got a walking beat to it. It adds a bit of mystery to it, and i think with the walking shots, or the shots where we show the character getting to the crime scenes, the music fits in really well to it, and so i think this could be the better form of music. Also it is exactly 2:00 minutes long, which is how long our opening film has to be, and so we can use the whole song which is a benefit.

Groove Grove

We also liked this tune. We felt that this tune was similar to 'Dirt Rhodes' because they both had a mysterious but adventurous tone to them. This also has a good tone to it. Again, you could use it in the walking scenes, and it does have a sort of crime/gangster feel to it. However the reason why we are not using it is because of the fact that it is longer than 2 minutes. This is bad because when are opening sequence is over the music wouldn't have finished and too the audience it will feel as though it has just stopped all together, and it wont feel professional. And so because of this reason alone, i don't think it is a good idea to use this tune.  And so because of that we are going to use 'Dirt Rhodes'.
