Group : Soundtrack

To research our soundtrack we looked at several film openings and the music from particular films/tv shows which we enjoy or are similiar to our target genre.

• American Pyscho
• This is the opening soundtrack to the film American Pyscho, also paired with a voiceover from the main character. This non-diegetic sound is quite eerie and mysterious while also being very serious and classy. There is no vocals in this clip it is merely one instrument which sounds good when it has a narrator over the top however for our clip I think we may need something with a bit more depth as we will probably not be using a voiceover.
• Fight Club

• This song sounds very 'metallic' and unlike the previous example is quite loud, brash and has multiple layers of sound. This song is much like the opening track to another of David Fincher's films 'Se7en'. There is no narration over this track in the movie and I do not think that it is creepy or mysterious enough for our project.
• Dexter

• Dexter is a TV show very similar to the premise of ours, with a serial killer who acts in a normal way. Me or Sam had never seen the show and were surprised at how light and cheerful the opening track was, we thought it played well upon the audience with it reflecting the 'happy' or 'cheerier' side of the serial killers life. Since we will be showing both sides of the main character we are looking for something like this but a little bit slower making it both creepy and slightly cheerful.
• Breaking Bad

• Again this is another TV show rather than a film, we both however think the soundtrack is very reflective of the ideologies and mood we are trying to convey, the only downside is it does not seem to 'flow' very well, we think it is very jumpy and in-consistent, this could however be of an advantage as it reflects the unstable mood of our main character.
• Breaking Bad - Soundtrack

•  After looking into the related videos section of youtube for our recent video, we have stumbled across this song, used in season 3 of Breaking Bad, the show who's title sequence both me and sam enjoyed. We beleive the opening 3 minutes of this song is the perfect mix between Dexter, Breaking Bad and American Pyscho, reflecting the methodical and precise nature of the killer aswell as the madness and scariness of his attitude. We are fairly certain the first few minutes of this song will play a large part in our opening sequence.
