Film Music

Once I had finished editing my sequence together my last thing to do was to sort out and put together the music. I looked at each sequence individually to find the right music to set the mood i'm trying to achieve.

Doppelganger - When watching this i thought a minimalist style would help to show both the sureal theme that runs throughout the film and a sense of conflict between the personalities. The different layers of the music fade in as they begin to argue showing the rising tension.

Reverse - From watching this i thought it should be something very light hearted as the people walking around the table are creating an atmosphere that contrasts the serious nature of the central character. The music begins with a metronome as the other parts fades in over the top, this metronome creates a ticking sound like a clock going backwards, which coinsides with this reversed section. There is also a line within the track which i think fits well with this section "I'll always be by your side" which is ironic as he clearly has no idea of the people passing behind him.

Woods - I thought that this scene needed music that emphesised the distress and a sense that the character was lost. The music i chose helped to create this effect as it has a weird distant sound that also has an eerie feel to it.

Transitional - For these parts I wanted something quite heavy that will show the depth of the transitional pieces as there are many layers to each transition there is also more layers to the music. This also helps to seperate the different dream scenes, showing a change in the dream, like travelling into a new part of the "dream world".

After picking the appropriate songs i used garage band to edit these together to fit with the film. I uploaded the film onto garage band so that the music could be seen playing along side the film, making it easier to pinpoint where the music had to begin and finish. I had to cut down each song to ensure the correct part was with each section, and the length fitted the clip while allowing some extra so the music from each section could fade into each other.
