Production-Reflective Analysis (8)

This week my I began to create the music (Opening Sequence Draft) that will accompany the voice over in our opening sequence. To do this I used Logic Pro 8 as I said I would in our treatment. On your left hand side is my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) were I composed the opening. I used the blogpost I did on Inspirational music as a stimulus and came up with something Which I believe is unique. I also decided that because It was BSR and my target audience is between the ages of 16-25 I needed to add something that would engage them so I added drums to the arrangement, I felt this added another dimension and slowly drew the audience into the diagesis of the film. When I import this into iMovie, my partner and I are thinking to sync a significant part of the monologue to the music, this may just be increasing the volume of that track or the whole track when he says a specific line.  When I asked my peers to listen to the opening they said that they found it drifted towards a thriller in the beginning but as it progresses it becomes more heartfelt and they thought it immediately makes the audience sympathise with the protagonist of the film. I personally feel there is something missing in the piece and I think there should be a slight change in key and more theme and variation, to accomplish this I will add a legato string to the piece, as this will emphasise the pathos in the opening. All I need to do now is mix the arrangement which is manipulating certain sounds and making it move and progress together in unison. I will also include different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay etc.
