Today we decided to pick a suitable soundtrack which would work in sync with the visuals of our title sequence. In order to avoid using copyrighted material we used https://audionetwork.lgfl.org.uk to ensure there were no complications with the music.We already had a rough idea of what we wanted our music to consist of, such as change in pitch and an increase in tempo to create excitement. With this in mind we also needed it to be able to convey the narrative subliminally to the audience with needing the help of the visuals, to do this we needed to ensure the music was upbeat thus having a exultant tone so the audience are aware the story will end in restoration. We browsed through many different soundtracks on this website which fell under the category of 'spy' which we felt to be appropriate as we the thought this aspect of the story wasn't extremely clear through the visual representation so the music would secure the sub-genre.
1) Agent x
Agent x was disapproved by our group simply because it consisted of heavy bass which made it sound like a heavy metal piece of music which wasn't at all appropriate for our target audience. However, the music also had a slightly scientific tone to it which resembled music sound in a film of the sci-fi genre thus this would be a inaccurate choice of soundtrack for our title sequence. This also was to male dominated and gave no indications of the action adventure or comedy genre.
2) Alone in love
We was very fond of the fact this soundtrack had an romantic undertone because it allowed the theme of love to be present in the sequence however due to it being jazz music it gave the wrong impression of the time era as jazz is associated with the 60's. The low tone of the instruments also made the music appear depressing and slightly serious which is oppositional of what we intended.
3) city streets
This music replicated techno music found in nightclubs which gave an adult theme to the soundtrack therefore straight away it wasn't going to work with our title sequence. This music was also strangely relaxing, which was definitely not a positive due to our production being fast paced. One thing we did approve of was the fact it sounded modern which introduced the fact that our film is set in the present.
4) Follow that car
This was our chosen soundtrack which we couldn't be happier with it includes everything we hoped for and works perfectly in time with our pending title sequence. It sounds very comical and suitable for children, which is an instant bonus due to our target audience and one of our main genres being classified through the music alone. Also, the fact the music is very upbeat indicates the audience that the films outcome will be positive. A slight sense of romance is also present in this piece due to it sounding like a couples dance scene from a comedy which was brilliant as this is a key theme and element of the narrative. The tempo of the soundtrack is fast which reveals the film will be fast paced which is accurate due to it being an action film therefore this was enough to allow us to realise this music was the best choice.
Editing
We were unable to film today due to the remainders of our scenes needing to be filmed at different location so we decided to start the editing process and edited the footage together that we already had. We opened all our videos in final cut pro and put them in the order of which we wanted them to appear, the same as we had story boarded. We mainly focused on the speed in which we wanted the clips to be as we wanted a camera flash and the falling of a photograph to be much slower in contrast to the rest of the sequence otherwise they would be to fast to see thus creating confusion for our target audience which we didn't want to happen or our genre could be questionable. Once we was satisfied with the footage we had edited we searched on dafont.com for a font for the order of the titles. I am happy with the font we have chosen as it looks similar to our title's font and still resembles handwriting I am also pleased with what we have achieved today because now that the editing has started it feels as if we are making progress with our sequence and coming closer to finishing. Our next step is to film our underwater scene at Danson park ,which we shoot be doing shortly, and we also need to film our brief case scene after which we will have all the footage and all that is left to do it edit.
