Music Research

As we are soon going to be adding the music onto our film I have decided to research music that would be appropriate and effective in our piece. We are planning on using two main tracks in our film, on of each diegetic and non-diegetic music.

Non-Diegetic

The non-diegetic track is going to be used in our opening and closing scenes. It needs to set a sombre and moody atmosphere, and also add mystery to our film. The track would preferably be in minor key and use atmospheric instruments such as wind and stringed instruments.

Diegetic

The diegetic track is going to be used during the second part of our opening, it is supposed to be a track played off of Ruby's i-pod, it therefore needs to be upbeat and trendy as it would most likely be a popular and top-40 track.

Below I have found several pieces of music from well known thriller films:

This is the main sound-track song from the 2010 film Inception, this track would actually be perfect for our film but cannot be used obviously due to copyright reasons. I am going to try and find a piece similar to this, the deep moody and atmospheric sound is brilliant and sets the perfect mood for a thriller film. Also this track starts slow and fairly quiet and then builds into a fantastic piece of music.

This is the main soundtrack song from the 2000 film momento, I do really like this track but I don't feel it would work for our film. It sets a more depressing and pessimistic mood rather than mystery and tension.

This is the main soundtrack song from the 2010 film Black swan. This track would definatley not work in our film, it is in a too major key, in my opinion, and doesn't set the right type of atmosphere.

For the diegetic piece I am going to find something similar to songs that are in the current charts.
