Music And Sound

Music and Sound

Music and sound contributes to a film in many ways, it is used for:

• Dialogue: dialogue is a diegetic sound meaning that its sound that the source of origin is visible on the screen as the action is happening. Unless your doing a film without dialogue, dialogue is used so that the audience can understand what is going on or to tell the story. 
• Background sound: background sound is a non diegetic sound that is added to a film at post production. the use of background sound can alter the mood, and change the pace of the film for example an orchestra can change the pace dramatically if it was an action film. 
• Foley sound: foley sound is also a non-diegetic sound meaning it is reproduction of everyday sound that is also added to a film in post production. The use of foley sound adds emphasis to something for a example someone walking in a scary movie, making the sound of the footsteps louder creates suspense and fright onto the viewer. 

For the film opening me and my group are going to use, music and sound will be key to engaging the audience, the type of music we use has to reflect what we're trying to do and to make sure that the right pace, and type of music/sound is used at the same time.  Here are some possible tracks/sounds we can use for our film opening.

Tarrus Riley & Konshens - Good Girl Gone Bad dreadsquad remix 

For me and my group's teen opening we decided to do it based on the London Riots that occurred 3 years ago, there was a french film in 1995 that was also based on rioting call La Haine. The opening track for the film is a reggae track showing the rioting. As me an my group is doing our opening inspired by La Haine, I feel that Tarrus Riley & Konshens - Good Girl Gone Bad dreadsquad remix would be a good track for it, as the lyrics relate on what we want to do with our interpretation. It also in a way contrast with the riots but goes with it at the same time because the beat of the track is fairly fast but its at the right tempo to have the audience engaged and keep their attention. 

My Big Fat Gypsy Dubstep

This track has the rawness that urban areas in cities like London are stereotyped for. I feel that this track could be used for the opening for our film because it sets the sort of vibes that we're intended to make, even though its a 3 minute opening, it would make it seem that the film is based in the hood and it would be filled with grime hate and anger.

Reggae Love (Vocal Reggae Rap Instrumental) SOLD - Profetesa Beats

This instrumental is also a reggae track that i feel that could work with the opening that we are planning on doing. The beat has a soft tempo to it and will contrast to what we're intending on doing, as the rioting and the anger will be at a fast pace but the reggae make it seem like its a harsh reality of living in a urban place in a city just like La Haine.
