soundtracks

Thursday 24th march 2011

In the final draft of the film we ended up using two different types of soundtracks to add to the effect and emotion the film itself was portraying.

The first soundtrack we decided to use was "Pure Arabic hip hop instrumental" located from YouTube. This opened the film with a sense of cultural heritage and background using a stereotypical type of music that is associated with that particular culture.  This continued throughout the beggining of our film to build suspence and tension although we used a second soundtrack when we wanted to change the emotion of the audience.

The second soundtrack we used was called "The war room" located from Freeweb
this is a download site where unlicensed music is free to download or share. The beat is different from the first as its quite up pace and fast. This was put into the film as "the chase begins" given a sence of ergency and curiosity.

Along with the soundtrack we were going to include the atmospheric sound of the train station to allow the audience to recieve a more intense and realistic atmosphere. Unfortunately because we currently have the voice over and the two soundtracks it broke the films flow and ruined the effect on the audience therefore we kept only the non diegetic sound.
