Group research

CHRIS'S MUSIC RESEARCH:

Research of music for Thriller idea.
I have looked for sinister music to try to incorporate into our piece as non-diegetic sound. I looked broadly at some piano music as I feel this will fit into the sequence and allow it to flow seamlessly. These are some possibilities I have found.


"Comptine d'un autre été: l'après midi" composed by: Yann Tiersen
This was my first thought; it is quite a sad tune but I thought it was more sinister than it actually was. This seems quite romantic which does fit with the flashbacks but will conjure completely different connotations of what the sequence is about and does not fit with the thriller genre.


I researched some movies with some sinister underlying music and found this. Whilst it is more sinister; it does take a while to get going and is quite slow moving. This is not necessarily a bad thing and around 3:30 the music becomes stagnated and staccato with a sort of urban techno beat to it. This is very sinister and unsettling; this is the sort of music I would like to aim for.



This is the third song I found. It is slightly faster and more techno but is still somewhat sinister. The fluency fits our fast paced, quick shooting style. This, I think is almost perfect for the piece and will definitely direct the audience towards thinking this is sinister. It is a bit same-y however so I cannot deem this sort of music perfect.

These are just some ideas that I think could compliment the piece very well and aid fluency as well as building tension. I will take the ideas to the group and see how they feel about them.
