Music

we looked at different types of music to put into our opening sequence and we found two good pieces of music which fit our genre which we have chosen.  dirt rhodes was one of the two pieces we chose and the other one was Groove Grove.

Dirt Rhodes

The first one dirt rhodes is one of the two that we have norrowed it down to. The reason we liked this piece of music was because of the tempo as it sounded like a crime film piece of music and made it feel like it belonged in a crime scene opening.
 The music genre is blues and i think blues is what best fits in with crime. Dirt Rhodes to me felt dark and mysterious with a bit of an upbeat tempo which is what you want in a crime film, and that fits our story quite well. To me it also feels quite like it should be the music to something thats a crime series like life on mars or something. We could show our character walking and i think this music fits in well with that, as it's got a walking beat to it. It adds a bit of mystery to it, and i think with the walking shots, or the shots where we show the character getting to the crime scenes, the music fits in really well to it, and so i think this could be the better form of music. Also it is exactly 2:00 minutes long, which is how long our opening film has to be, and so we can use the whole song which is a benefit.

Groove Grove

We also liked this tune. We felt that this tune was similar to 'Dirt Rhodes' because they both had a mysterious but adventurous tone to them. This also has a good tone to it. Again, you could use it in the walking scenes, and it does have a sort of crime/gangster feel to it. However the reason why we are not using it is because of the fact that it is longer than 2 minutes. This is bad because when are opening sequence is over the music wouldn't have finished and too the audience it will feel as though it has just stopped all together, and it wont feel professional. And so because of this reason alone, i don't think it is a good idea to use this tune. And so because of that we are going to use 'Dirt Rhodes'.
