Search for music

An important part of the film is sound effects and of course the non diegetic music. Good use of music gives a whole new dimension to the film.




This is from the end of the film The Prestige, it uses a piano and in a low key at a slow tempo and becomes faster at the end as it shows the building on fire. This works well with this film as it makes it more dramatic and builds up, however it wouldn't work for the majority of our film apart from the end where Andrew is dead and Maria is writing in the diary.
For the end of the film the music should be slower and low key and during the action parts where there is faster editing quicker tempo music and higher key.

In modern comedy films i.e. American Pie series and The Hangover, they tend to use either rock or pop songs which often have a fast tempo. They are usually popular songs which is obviously unavailable to our film and would not match the genre. We would be looking for slower tempo music in low key and gets faster and higher key in certain situations i.e. killings and the kitchen scene where Maria has the gun.
