I have been researching soundtracks, getting an idea for the music we could use in our film. For the opening scene of our film we wanted music that would build tention as the camera is zooming out from Georges (the actor that is playing our main character) face and then stop imediatly when it cuts to black at the start of the montage. I've listened through many OST's and the following I have liked enough to get several songs from iTunes. Sunshine, American Beauty, Lost Highway, Requiem for a Dream, Inception, Pulp Fiction, The Social Network, Trainspotting and Misfits (TV series). The music used in these varies greatly. Some films have a soundtrack specially made, they can be made of orchestras (e.g. Sunshine, Inception, Lord of The Rings), electronic music is also used (Social Network, TRON legacy).
Notable film composers:
- Clint Mansell
- Ennio Morricone
- Hanz Zimmer
- John Murphy
- Thomas Newman
- Trent Reznor
Good entry Harry. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteKeep updating your blog with the process of editing - you could research into post production in movies and compare your own experience with that of the profisseionals. Also, you need to reaserch and make an entry about who the audience would be for your movie.
