OUR MUSIC

For our music for our media we played around with a lot of ideas and looked at a lot of possible tracks to use. Orginally we looked at youtube and looked if there was anything there we could use such as breathing noises, or the sound of a heartbeat.  We wanted the song to build up through the clip and to also drop in the parts that have the slower clips. We listened to a lot of already existing songs and the ones that suited our thriller film well were the ones that were the ones that were quite electronic or that have a very strong bass sound.
One song we especially liked was the instrumental version of the song Heavy Metal Lover by Lady Gaga.
What we especially liked about the song was how it built up but still had the same beat the whole way through. However due to copyright we were not allowed to use this sound for our thriller and as a result we tried to make a substitute using garage band loops.
On Garage band we listened to a lot of different tracks. Some sounded good, others didn't but we used the process of elimination to minimizes down our options. After doing this we ended up with three different tracks that we liked the most and we worked out ways to layer it on top of each other so that the sound built up and slowed down in the right places. We ended up with a track that fitted very well with our piece.
