Music in the Movie

IF done correctly, it might make the thing very scary. But that's very hard. Music always helps a lot for supsense.

You don't even need fancy sound scores. There are lots of cd's which offer their own sounds (fx/music etc) for free. Like magix soundpool. Or you could go with strings all the time of course. Or a faint background echoing noise. But if you really want to let the audience to know there's something scary happening, pick up a mic and sing your own score. "Ooh its scary. Something scary is happening here. Very scary. This is a very scary, momeeeeent". I did that for my last flick and it helped immensely.

After doing some lurking...I was wondering what your opinions are of a thriller/suspense without any background ocestral music, as I am very limited in my budget.

emjen?s idea is pure gold.

But here?s another?

Use and sample whatever music turns you on ? this is the digital age after all.

By the time anyone notices you, you?ll have the money to buy lawyers?

[or create a new soundtrack]

P.S. What are you holding in your avatar EP?

I've downloaded it and blown it up, and it just looks like a dead seal.

That's not going to get you many stars on this board [except from the Inuit].

Here's hoping it's something else...

It's an Eelpout. My favorite fish to ice fish for...hence the name EP.

Search around for independent bands that have released their own music, they'll always let you put their tracks on films for free.

If you are still looking EP then there are plenty of us out there who write music and will do it for the creds - if you want to e-mail me a brief/rough idea of what you are looking for I can send you some samples/ideas to see if you like it - can't stretch to orchestral just yet but can certainly come up with decent suspence/thriller soundscapes!

Anybody else out there who needs music for projects drop me a line.

The buoycott canada advert is a shameless attempt from the Americans to make their neighbours look bad. As if they can talk.

The issue doesnt actually have much humour in it, but the other day at my local cinema there was a twenty second long propaganda piece about how the world should stop buying candadian goods because apparently they are evil.

A bit off topic and slightly ott. Sorry. Feeling tired and emotional.

I'm actually quite intrigued about this boycott Canada thing because this is the first I've heard of it. It seems the Americans, in the shadow of the Iraqi POW Scandle, have stopped it with the French and cane on to us. I actually want to hear more of this as i am always looking for topics of discussion among friends and maybe a Boycot USA propaghanda would be fun... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Lol, Ep- that would be fun. Cant think of many people who wouldnt join in, either...

But your pretty much right- its just the Americans looking for someone to patronize in order to (as I said earlier) save face. No offence to any Yanks on the board- I refer to the bad guys only.
