Our track used a slow, melodic bass repetition to create a cool, noir theme for a dark, suspenseful film. While we initially planned to use brass instruments, the teacher fell ill so we composed a simple tune in Garage Band for a chase scene. We kept ambient sounds like footsteps and heavy breathing to add character despite the music.

1. Music creation
Our track used only bass, it was slow and melodic. The use of this
simple bass repetition creates a cool, noir theme. Even though we
kept the second half of our footage quite the first half sets the type of
film this will be, dark and suited to our audience. The reason we
decided to keep our second half quiet was so that the audience could
hear every clink of the tools and the breathing of the interrogated
suspect. We decided to use brass instruments early on, saxophone,
trumpet ecs. However the teacher who was meant to be helping us
fell ill and we had to change plans quite quickly. At first we though
about using piano to create a melodic eerie riff, the only issue being
that it seemed to high key- so as a result we wet back to ‘Garage
Band’ and composed a relatively simple tune to fit over our chase
scene.
The sounds of footsteps can still be heard over our music, we wanted
to keep this quality, the atmospheric sound of the splash in the
puddle and the suspects heavy breathing adds character to the scene.
