Non Copyright Music Analysis

Music is very important in films, especially in the opening two minutes, as it is needed to set the mood for the rest of the film. Our film is an action/drama so we need to show this genre by using suspenseful tracks that build tension but perhaps are eery at the same time.




This song builds in suspense and gets faster and more exciting. However, the first half is a bit slow so if we were going to use this, we might have to just use the middle or end as it gets louder and faster in the second half of the music. It fits well with our theme of action and drama so that is good. 



This one is quite creepy and so builds tension and suspense whilst the girl is running through the forest. However, it doesn't really fit with the 'running' part as it is generally quite slow and doesn't get faster as it goes on which is vital to what we are looking for.


This song is also creepy and suspenseful and builds an eery atmostphere. It also has breathing noises that could help us create the illusion that someone is chasing the girl which is good and because we are hoping to film on a foggy day it adds to the mystery and distorted environment. The only downside is that it doesn't have much beat to it so it doesn't fit with the running element in our film, however, if we find another running song we could link these two tracks together as I really like the creepiness of this track. Alternatively, we could use this in the flashback scene, which is supposed to be really creepy.

This is my favourite one to use because it is suitable for a chase scene because of it's drama and suspense. Although it is less eery than the others, the main thing we want to show is the tension of the girl running and show that it is a 'chase scene' as if she is running away and I think that this music shows that perfectly.
