Music

In today's post I will be discussing the music I will include within my opening title sequence.


This first piece starts off very slow and builds up to create suspense which is what I like. It helps to create a very eerie effect but then the music kicks in and becomes more fast paced which sounds good but I don't think I'd be able to fit it in with the tone and mood that I'm trying to achieve in my opening sequence. For that reason, I won't be using this music in my piece.



This next piece begins straight away and slowly builds up with string instruments, again to help establish the sombre mood I'm looking for in my final piece. However, this piece itself doesn't sound like it belongs within a horror genre, more like a dance film, if anything. If I was to include this within my piece, it would give an almost contrapuntal effect which is something I want to avoid. And for that reason, I won't be using this music for my opening sequence.



This next piece is a very iconic piece for a zombie film which starts of quiet and soft before slowly building up as more instruments are added. When envisioning this music within my title sequence, I feel it would fit well into it as it match the mood, pace, and tone of what I'm trying to establish within my final piece. For that reason, I am considering using this in my opening sequence.



The last piece of music I am considering is from the video game, The Last Of Us which is set many years after a zombie apocalypse.   This piece starts off with a guitar riff and stays the same pace throughout which is what I'm looking for as I want to keep a slow sombre mood throughout my opening sequence. I can see this fitting in with my final piece and when creating my storyboard, this was the music I was thinking of when writing guitar riff under the music heading. Because of this, I am considering using this for my sequence too.

So it is between The Last of Us and In the House In A Heartbeat. I will make my final decision in post production when I've finished filming and begin to edit my opening sequence. Right now I am edging towards TLOU but it does depend of whether or not they will fit my vision.

 That's all for today's post. My plot outline and script will be uploaded on here within the next couple of days.
 Until next time,
