Why music is important

Music is what keeps the audience focused on the screen and it can be used to display a variety of emotions and convey several tones.

What did I use to make my music?

Because copyrighted music was not permitted I decided to use the internet to try and find some appropriate royalty free music to use for my soundtrack. However, none of the music I found grabbed me so to action this I decided I was going to make my own incidental music. I used a piece of software called ‘Logic Pro X’ which took me a while to understand but once I did I found it very useful in creating sounds and music as it offered a large library of options for me to choose from and edit so it suits me. I could use my Laptops keyboard to play specific instruments.

Tone of music

I experimented with various tones of music which all created different atmospheres but I felt they fitted the horror genre more opposed to thriller so I decided to watch some thriller openings to get a feel for the speed and pitch the music was used at; I feel this helped me to establish the tone I wanted to use in my title sequence.
