Music - Teardrop - Massive Attack

Films include music because they help make sequences flow and add to tension, suspense and other elements that are built up throughout all the genres of films. Thrillers use specific types of music as they only need to create specific elements (Tension, Confusion).

I chose this piece of music to sit behind my film due to the fact it helps add confusion and suspense to my opening sequence. The beat at the start of the music track relates to my film because it goes with that of a heart beat. The fact that it gradully speeds up also relates in due to the fact that in the opening sequence the second character is trying to escape from the first, which as he is running away, would increase the rate of his heart.

It also totally contradicts what the film is about because it is generally a quite happy and upbeat song. This helps to add to the confusion that is created by the sequence and draws in the audience to start thinking about whats going on and what is to come.

I chose the music that i was going to use before i started work on my actual film, as this allowed me to construct my film around the beat of the music and to help it flow throughout the piece.
