Part A
For this workshop my task was to place an existing song or piece of music into a film or TV show scene. The first scene that I chose was from the Tv show family guy when Peter was beating up a child. The music that I added into the background of the scene was some upbeat metal music that I found on youtube. This music fitted nicely into the scene because it was fast paced and aggressive so I placed this music over the part when Peter is repeatedly punching the teenager. I used the techniques of fading at the beginning and at the end of the music to make it seem as if the music was in the scene to begin with. I think that this scene went well. The second scene was from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 when Gwen fell to her death. The music that I decided to use and place over this scene was 'I Fall Apart' by Post Malone. The reason that I used this song for this specific scene was because of the nature of the scene. In this scene Gwen dies and Peter is distraught about it. The song by Post Malone was chosen because it is an upsetting song and fits perfectly with the death scene. The software that I used to add music into the both of these scenes was Garageband. I think that both of these turned out well and the music suited each of the clips that they were put into to. If I was going to place music into the Gwen scene again, what i would have done is that I would have maybe added one more piece of music into the same scene as the scene was quite long.
Part B
For this part of the workshop I was tasked to make my own piece of music and place it into an existing scene from a film. The scene that i chose to place my created music into was the Gwen Stacey death scene from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The software that I used to create my piece of music was Garageband on the Mac. I then used the whistle sound effect on the keyboard and created a sad piece of music which I personally think fitted perfectly into the scene. My only change is that I would have used more instruments/different sounds next time.
