With our media production, me and April have decided to use one royalty free piece of music that fits and emphasises the mood of the narrative and creates a sort of 'youth' feel for our target audience. To help us make a clear and positive decision, we have analysed a total of four royalty free tracks so we can then analyse them in more depth, which will help us decide on our chosen track that will be used for our production.
Track Options
The track opens with a high pitch, slightly echo sound before launching into a serious of
sounds that have been clustered together to create a 'dubstep', rave style music track. As the first serious of sounds are blended together, emotions and concepts such as happiness and safety are drawn from the music, as the music track creates a positive feel for the audience. At around twenty seconds, and again around 46/7 seconds into the track, more sounds are introduced into the music track. The mood slightly changes after these sounds are added by introducing the track as a happy, upbeat piece of music that allows more feelings and thoughts to flow from the audience, to becoming more specifically categorised to 'nightclub'/'rave' style music. The sudden change in the music style also suggests that this piece of music is being aimed at younger audiences. This music track would be an ideal option for the opening title sequence of our film trailer and for the earlier house party scenes.
The track begins almost straight away with a series of different sound effects that have quickly been introduced and applied to the music track. Like the previous music track that I have analysed this track is specifically categorised to 'nightclub' and 'rave' style music, suggesting that this track is targeting more younger audiences. The begins at a normal pace before gradually increasing to becoming more fast paced as we get further into the track. This allows the audience to be 'taken in' and be allowed to 'feed in to' the track slowly before being thrown into the sudden change in pace of the track. The sudden change in pace also takes the audience out of their place of comfort and allows feelings of tension and suspense to arise from the audience. Like the previous track, the change of pace in the music could represent the sudden changes in Nathan's mental state of mind. This music track would be ideal to use for the earlier house party scenes.
Unlike the previous three tracks that I have analysed, this track 'Thirsty' isn't as dark and as fast paced, and represents a more 'youth style' sound. The track also mirrors 'nightclub' or 'rave' style music which fits well with the party scenes and the drinking scenes that feature in our trailer. The more slowed pace of the music track creates a more relaxed and calm atmosphere for the audience, and allows the audience to be more 'fed into' the shots, rather than being more 'thrown' into a scene. The use of explicit language that features in track also fits with our film trailer, as minor use of explicit language is used in our production, and is also a stereotypical key feature of teenage language. The pace only picks up towards the end of the track, suggesting that drama and mayhem is about to occur. This would also fit our production, (in terms of looking at the order of the following shots) when the disequilibrium of our trailer's narrative takes place.
After re-listening to all three of the following tracks, me and April decided to choose 'Thirsty' by Apex Rise. We decided to use this track for our media production as we felt that this track represented the 'teenage culture' more accurately, with it's use of explicit language and 'nightclub'/'rave' feel. We also liked how the track slowly took the audience into each shot and allowed them to be introduced to each of the main characters that feature in our production. Referring to the point I made earlier about the track, we liked how the track didn't change to a more fast pace until it was nearing the end, and fits the following order of our selected camera shots.
