In today's lesson we decided to solely concentrate on the music that we could use for our thriller opening sequence. Individually, we looked at the different websites that gave free copyright music. It was quite hard to find the appropriate music that would give the correct atmosphere and will keep the audience in suspense. I did this by searching keywords on these websites like, 'thriller', 'suspense' and 'dark'. This helped to narrow down the results and was less time consuming. Shaneece and Trisha found a piece of music on the website: http://freeplaymusic.com called 'Abandoned'. (Found on Drama Vol 1, composed by Robert Davidson). I agreed with the rest of my group that music was fitting for the thriller opening sequence. We downloaded the track and then imported it onto Adobe Premier Pro CS4. The starting to the music piece suited the opening sequence so we placed the clip to the right point of the visuals where it matched perfectly when Character A opens the picture, it creates the right mood to the audience. We made sure that it ended at a convenient time so the suspense that is built up is not lost.
Next we moved on to the title sequence which would be placed at the start of the opening sequence. The final title of our thriller opening sequence is 'Absent' which is placed before the scene beings, the transition that we inserted is a dissolve as we decided that it gave a mysterious impression to the audience. We also included the production name and the actors name within the credits by using transitions as well. We decided to slow down these transitions to give a tense feeling towards the audience.
On Friday (19/3/10) is when the deadline for our first draft of the thriller opening sequence is due in. This is where we will receive feedback on the work that we have done so far. I think that we will have to look at the consistency of the sequence to make sure that is flows naturally and is not too jumpy.
