Music to our ears....

'

'Chazza', as I have newly named Charlie Harris;

Our pied piper, our music man (respectively)

Many of the films that we have looked at use music that is reworked from scary films and creepy sound effects, achieving gritty yet polished pieces that create a rhythm by which the films follow. Each turn of music influences the scene that unfolds in the spot to create atmosphere and drama build-up. In the various spots that inspired us, the music acted as a storyboard and it appeared that the film followed the music; it was not just simply background filler. It was therefore hard to find a unique piece of music that could ‘direct’ our film.

So we collected all of our inspiration and clips of music that were roughly along the lines of what we wanted, and gave them to Emma’s brother. He is a musician and agreed to help us create a unique, personal sound that wasn’t just a download from the Internet. It was a collaboration that would help not only us, but Charlie also, showcasing his music producing skills. Today we received the music clip and were really impressed by it. It captures the mood of our film perfectly and helps us to envision everything a bit more clearly. We’ve been putting off drawing up a storyboard until this music was finished, as we want to use it as a piece of ‘direction’. Our concept is not with narrative, it is created through an array of sequences drawn together creating drama-building scenes that are more spontaneous, free and un-choreographed. The music IS our storyboard. Listening to the music created stills in my head of the film and I cant wait to get the ideas down on paper.

Emma's converting the file into a music clip so as soon as shes done, Ill load it up onto here.

These are pics of Chazza, nothing to do with the blog, just for my own personal entertainment through these stressful times. Item A is Chazza having a laugh in a moustache. ItemB features Chazza chillin with a tinnie. Great man.
