Since the last update my progress has been significant and efficient as today, I finished my second video and the two contrasting compositions that come with it. In approaching these second compositions I have learned many different ways to compose for video through both Cubase and Sibelius and the use of midi samples. Although there were a few setbacks encountered and areas that still need tweaked the projects practical development is approaching an end as I now focus on the effects my music has on contrasting two separate moods through write ups in research.
Throughout the project, my proposal has changed and altered slightly as I considered the pros and cons of my case. At the moment I see my main aim falling into two categories:
1. To show evidently how important music is to a motion picture and how it has the power to completely alter the mood or atmosphere of a scene effectively by composing to contrasting compositions to two short film sequences.
2. To promote myself as a composer to film and demonstrate that I can effectively create moods from separate video sequences.
So far I feel I have reached these aims to a reasonable extent however, I now feel that a third opinion is needed and so, I hope to construct a survey for each video to see how effective the music is on others for next week’s session. By then I also hope to have begun my write up and formatted all the the videos down. Before doing so however, I would like to research into the art of mixing as although I get the notes I want I would like to be able to create a better overall sound with my compositions. A reflections on these activities shall follow up soon!
