Music and sound

The music in our opening we noticed played such a vital part in adding to the mood and feel of our piece. Although, the acting alone encouraged the audience to feel sorry for our protagonist, by watching through our opening with and without the non- diegetic music, we definitely noticed a big change.

Our music we wanted to be a slow moving piece to parallel with our opening. We were inspired to look for pieces which sounded similar to Sia- Breathe Me as we experimented using this within our opening prior to adding music and it was one of the pieces which best matched our opening due to its emotional nature, and the fact that the video had moving footage which had a story behind it in the same way our opening did. 

Due to copyright issues we were unable to use this, so tried to find one which was most similar. To do so we looked on a variety of copyright free websites and searched slow pieces which included instruments such as a piano or guitar as these particular instruments best fitted our genre and opening as a whole. 

The music we decided on for our opening highlights the emotional aspect and the gripping issues of our clip and further saddens the storyline. Which is another element of encouraging our audience to engage with our piece and continue watching.
