From the sound track I wanted a few different features that would come together to lift the feeling of the whole piece. I also needed different tracks to change the mood throughout the opening as I don't want the audience to only be thinking in one frame of mind.
In the opening two minutes I use 4 different songs to create varied atmosphere:
1. Ring tone.
The Phone is the very first thing to be shown and I wanted people to stop what they were doing (talking, rustling packets and being on their phone) in the audience and be paying attention to my film.
The music is loud and pounding and when we see that it is a ring tone we see that our character while he may seem serious dose have a fun side as this is quite a bold ring tone for anyone.
2. Running away song.
Tim is having to run away from Sam, meanwhile Alex is on the phone to Jack laying down hints as to what is and what will happen in the scene that we are also being shown.
This music is fast pace and uplifting as we will on Tim to run faster all the while knowing that he wont make it.
3. Fight scene.
The music changes once Tim gets shot as he is no longer running he has decided to face Sam and take him head on. The music also builds up to a question upon the relationship of the main character and his wife, I left this as an enigma to be answered later in the film.
This music is jumpy and gradually building to a tense moment also it fits the thrill of the fight with it quickening your breathing and heart rate to follow the music.
4. Final title music.
The last music is to bide time until the title is presented as the film seemed empty with no music over laying the end, I chose this piece as it was calming with its steady beat, predominately symbols are used and it fits with looking on at the body of Tim and then fading to the title Defenestration
Most of my music came from ROYALTY FREE MUSIC by BENSOUND
