Changes to our Final Project

Their turned out to be plenty of changes to our actual plan of what we wanted our final project to be like. These were things such as characters as we were meant to have Joanna Embley and Luke Smith but this changed to Courtney Barlow and Callum Jones. Our music and setting changed from being one song all the way through of happy music to a sinister piece of music and the colour sepia all the way through to just normal colour. This was to cause the disruption for the film and to set the scene. Also to show the audience that it is a nowadays film. Even though these changes took place both of us are extremley happy with our final piece, it couldn't have gone better and it seems like the changes were for the best.

Music for Opening Sequence

We have created our music on the program 'garage band' and as we are not allowed to use copyright, we have made it from scratch on this program. The music piece is called 'midnite dialog long' and the genre is jazz. We thought this would fit well with our setting of the 1920's restaurant/bar. We are going to play this music throughout the scene when the man and woman are in the restaurant/bar so the audience will hear the diegetic music and it will set the mood. They will be able to imagine the setting is real with the characters in the restaurant/bar with this music playing in the background. It will also give them connotations that there is a band playing somewhere in there or a man on a saxophone. We are hoping to make this part very romantic. We still have more music to make for other bits of our film such as the beginning for when they are getting ready. We are looking for suspense music at this part for setting the equilibrium. Finally, we have decided to have our music with a 1920's theme, therefore this will consist of jazz and blues music. We are aiming to use a lot of this throughout the opening sequence as we want the sequence full of tension so we don't want any talking, we just want it silent. Therefore, there will be no dialogue or voiceovers so we don't need to write a script.
