I came across an awesome website full of non copyright tunes that I can use for school projects!
There were two things I was certain of:
1) I wanted an upbeat song that would make the scene and everyone in it seem very much alive, motivated, happy and professional..
2) I wanted a song that would bring upon nervousness, fear, and chaos...
And so the hunt began!!!!!!
Mirrorball, under the DANCE category, became the upbeat background music played through out my opening scene.
The description under the title of the song couldn't have been more perfect... "Useful for fashion, makeovers, and all things groovy."
Last Stand, under the DRAMA category, was used for the tense ending of the opening scene when Vivi's dead body is found.
When the scene first opens, a stylist and a model are about to enter a doorway and there's very little sound, but as they open the door and I follow behind them, the upbeat song grows louder along with the background chatter from the various other actors. Then, as the camera moves closer to the DJ's set, the music is played even louder while the voices are barely heard. As the camera turns the corner to another section of the scene, where the models are getting ready, the beat drops corresponding to the change of scenery.
Through out the scene, there's always background noise of people's voice talking among each other.
Then, there are also other elements emphasized, for example, the blow dryer.
When, the models are all lined up and ready to go, the music becomes dark and sudden, because one of them is missing. The layering of the tense music with people's screams and loud voices in the back creates suspense.
Then, the dropping off the check board/binder onto the floor is emphasized with the shock that comes with finding a dead body.
All of these minor and major sounds were very important in creating the opening film!
