Production Blog: Music for Opening Sequence

Welcome back Bloggers. Today I will be choosing the music for our thriller opening sequence. This is a really hard decision because there's 2 different kinds of music that will be in our opening sequence. We would have to blend together these two different types of music. It also has to be a smooth transition in order to avoid any distraction from the scenes themselves. The two types of music are the happy upbeat familiar music played in a car. The other one will be creepy and suspenseful to evoke as much emotion as possible. These are so different so it makes it even more difficult to transition them. I've been looking over the Final Destination opening sequence to see what they did with their music but I realized their music is pretty similar the whole time. The background noise is strong which puts the audience on edge. Our first idea for this is incorporating the happy music in the background while they are packing up and setting up. Then the creepy music would then slowly start to sound as the storm starts coming in and it starts getting suspenseful. The music would then get really loud as the audience is about to find out what is about to happen next. We also want to add a thunder sound to scare the audience more and add even more suspense to the scene. We were planing on using one of Universal's precleared soundtracks from the creepy playlist. But then realized the tracks seemed unserious and not suspenseful. We chose a few tracks from YouTube. These are not the final decisions. But Enzo showed them to us and we like them. We think they would work really good. Scary Halloween Music • Creepy Music Mix #1 (youtube.com), Chloe's Lullaby HOUR LONG - Creepy Music Box - YouTube.  For the happy music, we were thinking that one of us could choose one from our own Spotify playlists. Thank you! See you in my next Blog.
