Music and Sound Research
The short soundtrack that I have found on "Free Play
Music" will fit into my film as it is very eerie and ominous, it is
down-tempo meaning the mood will be very sad; the low frequencies in this piece
also complement this. The higher pitch notes and random sounds add to the ghost
like feel of the music, it gives the feel that something will go wrong and this
ties in extremely well with the film I am shooting.
I have taken the sound clip from a royalty free music website, the president and CEO of this is Scott Schreer and he has composed music for many popular box office films. In his work he also creates soundtracks, most famously for “The Weather Man” which was released in 2005. Royalty free music is used to find samples of music or speech which then many music producers will edit and add effects to create a completely new sound. It is copyrighted material which you have to be given the right to use without having to pay for royalties for every time it is used in the film.
As well as having a sound clip from
this website I also visited “The Free Sound Project” which launched in April
2005 and was created by Bram De Jong. I found a very valuable piece to add to
my teaser trailer that very slowly says the word “murder” with lots of effects
including reverb to make it stand out that much more. This helps the audience
indentify that the key theme in my suspense thriller is about death; but I have
not given enough information away to show in what way the action will happen.
From my research of teaser trailers music and sounds which are synonymous with
certain genres help advertise films without giving specific details away leading
to the audience wanting to watch and find out more.
