Music for the film opening


This is one of the songs that we are going to use in our film opening.It is called 'Dreams become real' and is composed by Kevin MacLeod. The title of the song connects with our film opening as the dreams of Sofia's enemies want her to be unhappy and throughout the film she gradually gets more unhappy therefore their dreams happen. It also shows a contrast with our film opening as it shows that not everybody's dreams become real, as Sofia's dream would be to not get bullied  and insult by others.
The song is in a minor key this reflects the sad mood of the song, the pedal note plays a ostinato in some parts of the song therefore it is repeated to keep the rhythm inside the listeners head. The melody varies as the sequences change, the dynamics are mostly quiet (p). The song is also calm and quiet.



  This is the other song we are going to use in our film opening. It is called 'I am a man who will fight for your honor' and is composed by Chris Zabriskie. The title of the song is relevant to our film opening as it shows that we should fight for our honor, therefore Sofia should fight to stay alive and to stay strong ignoring all the hateful messages.
The song is in a minor key just like the other song because the minor key is mainly used to create a dark, depressing feeling for the listener. We used songs with minor keys because our film opening is a drama that includes sad moments, therefore these songs portray the mood of the film opening. Obviously we will only use a bit of this song as it is 11 minutes plus and our film opening should be around 2 minutes.
