The making of our opening music.

Before producing the opening soundtrack sequence I gathered some information to get an idea of what kind of music should be included in our soundtrack. We first worked on our storyboard so that the music and the storyboard would combine. I then put myself to think like someone who is under the influence of drugs, which I encountered to be a good way to show an essence of it through our soundtrack. For example, our storyboard starts with me (Dylan) in an elevator under influenced of taking too much different drugs at one time. From my view of someone in that situation they would most likely be tripping out badly, seeing things, hearing sounds that is not occurring at the time and in no control of themselves. The sort of sound that was in my head for this scene was something slow and eerie but at the same time a sound that is calm and relaxing that makes that person feel really happy. I started off with a sound that is deep and quite slow, then an eerie sound that is mixed in with it's volume in different levels, rising as it gets towards to the end of that scene. How I found the right mixture for that main scene was rather easy, as I chose under the electric instruments the beat called "spacey electric piano" which links to the idea of Dylan's mind in another world. After working out how long that scene was I then added a beat that was similar to the previous one, but had extra upbeat sounds in it so that it would blend in rather than completely change to create a good bridge for the two different scenes.

The next scene is more upbeat and fast therefore I added a beat that would give that adrenaline rush, and the level of volume of this soundtrack starts off low arising up as it gets to the main sound for the next scene. I found that by changing the different levels of the volume it makes a big change towards the effect that it gives, for example if the sound is faster and more upbeat it gives energy to the listener. At one point in the soundtrack, you'll notice that it gets really busy and that there is more than 2 different beats or so being played as this section represents the story board, there is lots happening within the story board therefore i linked i with the music.
The soundtrack is also categorised in different genres and or style of music to show what kind of atmosphere is in the storyboard. The disc scratch is to show that the music will change into a different style of music, like in the story board the actions too changes. In this section the music is even more eerie but at the same time really up beat and free spirit, this emphasises the actions occuring in the story board is more lively and fast move.

Usually the endings of music slowly fades out into silent, however I chose to end our music with something that is quite memorable by making the eerie sound louder as it gets to the end. Finally the last bit of the soundtrack ends with two types of music, one is called "vinyl scratch 09" which sounds really out of space and strange with an edgy effect, I then end the whole soundtrack with "deep electric piano" which is mellow and different from the whole of the soundtrack, which creates that galvanizing feeling.
