Music for our BSR

This week we decide to start finding music for our BSR opening and the music had to follow guidelines to be appropriate to be used for our final product.Firstly it had to be calm but also intense as we wanted to give a sense of unease and tension for the audience to give a better illusion and effect for them as it makes them feel the emotion and power that is being used in the opening sequence.Another thing we wanted is that we had to make sure the music is royalty free(copyright free) so we don't get any copyright claims for the content we produce which will cause problems that we will have to face in the.

The song here is very ambient and calming the opposite of what an audience would expect from a smash mouth and "dark" BSR opening these expectations could be used to manipulate the audience really putting them off of making the effect of what is happening on screen have a larger magnitiude compared to the screen being paired with a generic action audio track in the background of the scene.

BSR's being generically and commonly known for this darkness I feel that this music would help emphasise the intensity of the opening sequence which may not have been recognised otherwise the thought of the intensity of this darkness will be taken out of the back of the readers mind and will be bought to attention.



This soundtrack also conveys similar themes to the other song and is built in a similar way, however, this song also uses more modern audio techniques such as a sythesiser and scratches similar to that of a dj's set, this music I feel will help to adress this modern vibe to the movie due to how modern the track sounds.
It also had this subtle sounding of sadness which is subtle enough to be ignored by the audience, however, I feel that in my opinion that a track like this may be used more in the recognition and repair part of the film close to a resolve in the film as the music has that feeling of hope within it, however, in contrast to this on screen we are seeing a much darker story this will certainly put off the audience. Especially since targeting a younger audience from 16-24 which have grown up with this sort of music they will be able to relate to the music much more easily.



This soundtrack is very continuous throughout the whole track it makes it much more easy in post production to edit the soundrack and stop and start the song when the song is like this. Similar to the first song, "Calm", it is a much more ambient and calming song even though the equilibrium of the movie had been unbalanced. It will definitely succeed in offputting the viewer as the audio does not match what the audience are seeing on screen.
The soundtrack is very similar throughout and does not have many changes this will help as our opeing sequence should try to be as simple as possible to draw the audience in.
