Music for 'Obsession'

For the music of the film, I used the application 'Garageband'. I had only used this when we had a lesson about it near the start of the year, which I posted about, so I knew the basics but I think I learnt new skills when my partner, Sarah Gorman and I were doing the music for our film opening. We had discussed when editing the film the type of music that we wanted, it was just finding what we were looking for on the garageband music which took a while. We decided that we wanted to open with quite soft music as part of this running scene is in slow motion and we made that part louder on iMovie as you can hear birds so this made them more obvious, we editing the volume of the music to get quieter at this part so it wouldnt drown out the birds, we then faded it out in the next scene when new music starts, which is very quiet in order to be able to hear the conversation, this music is also quite soft but gets a little bit more tense towards the end of the conversation, we did this so that the audience might sense something is going to happen soon, both of these pieces of music were on a piano. In the next scene (looking at photos) we wanted a heavy beat which sounded like a heart beat, we found this on a bass guitar as we wanted to vary the instruments we used. This then goes into the scene of the girl walking outside Costa, because of our editing of the two jumps that are in this section the music needed to be quite upbeat, we found two pieces on garageband and put them together, which we thought sounded really good, there is a fast drum beat that fades into this half way through creating tension, the other music then stops and we finished the film opening with the drum beat which stops abruptly after the title of the film appears.
At first we had struggled doing the music as it was quite a long time ago that we had the garageband lesson, and there is a lot to learn on it, but once we got the hang of it I think my partner and I did a successful job on the music.
