The importance of music.
Music is extremely important and can decide whether a movie is good or not. Music helps build up impressions and feelings throughout the movie. Softer slower music can instil a calm feeling but can also be seen as sad depending on the images that accompany it. Music itself can be split into several small factors:
Pace - The speed.
Pitch - The degree of highness or lowness of a tone.
Dynamics - Volume and the feel (soft or hard).
Using these elements in combination together gives unlimited possibilities. Slow music, paired with high pitched and quiet notes can help create an ominous feel. While fast paced high pitched notes can give a happy feeling.
For our opening we want to encapsulate the idiom "the calm before the storm". We decided that it should include both the calm as well as the storm. Because of this we decided that our music should crescendo and include a variety of instruments. We want to create texture and have a plethora of layers that start off calm but build up to create that storm.
