Music Composition

We have now come to the stage of composing music for our title sequence.  We had to understand the the music has to relate to the genre of the title sequence and if it does contain lyrics it has to relate to the plot of character, however if it does not then our title sequence will not be so effective and will make the audience confused about the genre.   Some examples from popular movies where the music creates the mood and atmosphere would be 'The Talented Mr Ripley'.   We know that the film may be set in the 60s as we hear jazz music in the title sequence.  Another example is Rocky, which uses quite victorious music connotating the victories of boxing matches that Rocky has had.  This tells us more about the character suggesting he never gives up.  The music is also quite fast-paced creating a boxing atmosphere.  A third example would be from Jaws where the music is slow, and deep creating tension which informs the audience that something bad is going to happen (the shark is going to attack).

  1. This all excellent work - your Vogler narrative plan is superb and shows you have genuinely thought through your story. You've included loads of evdience of planning and research, and are pretty much up to date. For next Weds (9th March) you need to add some posts about the filming process and editing so far, particularly obstacles you have overcome and responses to feedback from audience or teachers.
