JAZZ MUSIC
For our film we needed to consider what music would be best appropriate. As a group we decided together and we agreed almost instantly with the suggestion that we came up with. One suggestion that I came up with was that I really liked the music from the video game BIOSHOCK. Primarily because that the game is set in the 1960's and is a horror/thriller. I also found that when playing the game the music striked fear in me and I thought that this is perfect for our film. However, I didn't want to completely take a piece of music from the game because we wanted to avoid copyright problems at all costs. As a group we came up with a song that we thought would fit perfectly with our film. One of the songs we chose was I don't want to set the world on fire by The Ink Spots. All of our group love this song and also suited perfectly with our film genre. We decided to choose this for our film opening as it has a general happy tone and it also has a old and eerie effect due to the year of production (1960's)
There was one suggestion that I made, (Sam Cooke), a change is gonna come. This was also another good suggestion, but as a group, we were drawn to the ink spots.
The final suggestion that we made was Wonderful Wonderful by Johnny Mathis. This is the main theme for our film. The intro of this song has eerie whistling at the beginning of the song. We were going to use the song after the final scene once the fire is blown out. the whistling after this is used to create a scary atmosphere and increase that fear factor that we are looking for.
As a group, I think that we have made some excellent song choices and I am looking forward for the end result of our film. This song along with I don't want to set the world on fire has a sense of irony to it with its upbeat nature.
Are we talking about the record that is playing when the detective is on his own in his office? You need to state that, then say (1) what period of time your music is from and why it matches the 1950s film (2) what mood it evokes that makes it suitable to reflect the character of the detective.
