Music Analysis


For our opening to fully take the viewer into this world and to set up the impending action, it was critical that we found the appropriate music. We searched through a lot of music, all of it instrumental as music with singing in it, would distract from our images. However we soon discovered how difficult it was to find the right piece of music that fitted our film. However we did choose Christophe Beck's Main Titles a soundtrack from the well known thriller named the Sentinel we used the soundtrack named "Main Titles" we thought this was the perfect choice for our movie because it is quite slow however quickens up its pace halfway.The music is exciting ,thrilling and slightly eerie. The piece of music is instrumental ,"Main Titles" is the perfect piece for our film because it creates a good amount of tension.The music helped our film to run smoothly and created atmoshpere for our scenes. We used the music mainly at the begining of the film when Megan is looking out of the window and you can see the world from her perspective ,the music helped to makeher perception of the world more distorted and blurred.The music helped to make the establishing shots more  exciting and interesting for the viewer.The music used was conventional for our thriller it created suspensce and was fast in the right moments. Christophe Beckc created a long list of soundtracks for the film the "Sentinel" but what attracted us to "Main titles" was that it was a good fit to Megan's character and her personality. Overall when we watched the film back the music fit perfectly and helped to make the film more viewable and interesting.
