WEEK 5 – w/c 11/10/10

Soundtrack???

This week i am going to choose which music i am going to use for the soundtrack in the trailer, the soundtrack will play through the movie trailer, when people are talking the sound will be lowered to a certain level and depending on the scene of the trailer the tempo or beat that i am going to use will change.

I used the internet to search for information about soundtracks at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundtrack here i found out that there are there are 3 diffrent types of soundtrack:

1. Musical film soundtracks which concentrate primarily on the songs
2. Film scores which showcase the background music from non-musicals
    
3. Albums of pop songs heard in whole or part in the background of non-musicals

I believe that the type of soundtrack that would be applicable to my trailer would be a film score which i would create by using rap instrumentals combined with a little rock to develop the horror aspect or just use one rap song that relates to the genre of the movie.

At the moment i am thinking of using 1994 Gangsta Rap/Horrorcore single "Natural Born Killaz" by gangsta rappers Dr. Dre & Ice Cube, i will use either the actual single or the the instrumental. This idea could change later on during the development of the movie trailer. The media technology that i used was listening to the album "Murder was the Case" and then using youtube to download a version of the instrumental.

Narration

I also had planned to put in a news report to go along with the soundtrack, for this i wrote up a script:

News reader

“In news today, there has been a string of missing persons reported from the notorious Dante Heights Estate aptly dubbed (the devil’s block) in Lower Abbadon, South London. 16 year old Jamal Reid is the 7th known affiliate of the Reaper Ryders gang to go missing in the past 2 weeks. Metropolitan Police believe this to be the work of a vigilate who is believed to be armed and dangerous. Residents of the area are urged to stay indoors.”

Abbadon: A place of destruction, a name given to hell.

New Entry: Unfortunately i was not able to put my news report into the film as there was to much going on soundwise and the report on top of it did not sound appealing.
