Music Research

Music in a film plays a major part as it reflects what is happening and has a huge impact on the audience.For our film opening we need some sort of background music to add to the suspense of the stalker-(Billy) following the dancer(Elle).We have been told we need to create the music ourselves using GarageBand so we have been researching the type of music we want. There are four types that we particular like;






Although this piece of music has a voice over it, it still fitted well with our film opening as it consisted of drums violins and pianos. All these added to the suspense and reflected the happenings in the film opening and we played this piece over our work and it worked really well.







We also discovered the Saw music and found that this fitted even better ! It added suspense like Massive Attack but this piece did not have a voice over so it was more effective. Also, where the chase actually begins and the characters begin to run, the music builds up to add to the tension of this scene.



Rihanna's latest released song really appealed to us as we thought it would make great background music to our film opening. We also played this piece over our work and found that it also created suspense as it consisted of loud heavy beat drums.




Emma came across this song my Eminem and told us all about it. We thought this could be another one of our background music options as you can actually hear a music box being wound up and this reflects one of our scenes. Also, if the lyrics are muted the rest of the song is the sound of a music box which reflects our title.

These four are the first four pieces of music we have come across during our research and I am sure we will discover some more to add to our option list. We are hoping to use aspects of all the music we have researched so far and on GarageBand create a piece of music that will reflect our idea and create suspense successfully.
