Music

The music for the film was undecided for a significant amount. We were told initially that we were not doing it, but were then told we were.

The primary musical sequences of the film were chosen by the media group. We tried to persuade them in the choice of some more appropriate audio, but they decided against it.

Joe composed the other sections of music in the film, and we both decided how they would fit in. The music was inspired by the popular TV series BlackMirror. The show’s themes follow a similar idea of the film, and we felt this would work well.

The music is intended to create an uneasy feeling in sections that help to create the overall feel of the film. As we were not given any musical direction, we decided to go about it independently.

We attempted to give the off-screen character “Basin” a theme by repeating a pieceĀ of music whenever his name is mentioned.

Even tho the music is simplistic, mainly due to timing issues, we still feel it came out well and fits the theme of the film.

We added music to a radio to help build room atmosphere during the dinner scene.

The music used was the Pink Floyd show performed by Lincoln College which was mixed and mastered by us. We added this as it was similar to the kinds of things played on the radio.

Overall we were happy with all the musical aspects of the film.
