How do we use music in accordance with images?
The project we’re doing - making a soundtrack and linking it to imagery
Garageband, real-life, Fruityloops, etc
Make a song that fulfills the role that music does when we “see” it
What does the music do in accordance with images?
- the music acts as a cue to the emotion that the Creator intends for the photos to evoke in the viewer
- the music also acts as a counterpoint to the action - sometimes the music acts in opposition to the emotion that seems obvious - the music is “in on the joke”
- the music in a scene could be almost subliminal and affect us in a more psychological way - “the bass tone” “ch ch ch” “Psycho strings” “heartbeat emulation”
- a most common and kind of simplistic use of music (but awesome) is called NEEDLE DROPS - we saw one in that Rushmore clip (You Are Forgiven)
- a song comes in with meaningful lyrics at just the right time
- the other idea here is that the lyrics somehow correspond to the pix - this is SO OBVIOUS and it isn’t layered enough to be interesting
choose something INTERESTING to feature visually
create mood
create some counterpoint
PLAN the cohesion of images and music
try to make something that CHANGES and has multiple sounds and feels
build the music yourself
you can use images from anywhere - CHOOSE ONLY HIGH QUALITY IMAGES
if you take your own shots, you will get higher mark
EVENTUALLY, we will do this with ONLY your own shots
