Directions Unit: JTL Music Research

So that i was able to explain to the composer that is selected i thought it would be a good idea to have some music ideas of things that i liked and things that are standard in terms of silent films.

The music reflects the characters emotion. When the character is happy the music is bright and cheerful and with every smile and spring in their step the music enhances this, when the character is sad the music is slower and gentler.

Piano music features heavily in this composition. 

This music is much more an ensemble piece and has key sound cue's for certain elements. 

This music features flutes and wind instruments. It is from the modern silent film The Artist. 

I think it will be important to speak to the composers and listen to their input to the project. 

Stay safe,

Helen
