Tutorial 4: 20/10/17

After meeting with my group I found out that they want both diagetic and non diagetic pieces for their film. The non diagetic pieces will be used as atmosphere and to build suspense while the diagetic pieces will be used in the film to relax the character. The diagetic piece they want to be in a style of somewhere between 50’s and 70’s which is a huge time frame but they’ve yet to narrow down what they want. For the drone pieces I discussed with David about how I would like to incorporate elements of the narrative and the characters thoughts, almost blurring the lines between score and first person sound. I also talked about the possibility of including a reoccurring melody to signify a happiness, David suggested I watch some films John Williams scored to get an idea of what, how, where and why a leit motif is used. David also gave me a Radio 4 segment by Debbie Wiseman talking about music in film and how it’s used to listen to in addition to recommending I watch the BBC4 series Sound of Cinema. For next week I’ll have a clear list of what my client wants from me in my pieces.
