Music

Here is a list of the music that we expect from each genre of media;

Action: from this genre of media you would expect up beat and loud music, very up tempo to keep you engaged and keep the audience on edge throughout.

Sci-fi: from this genre the type of music you would expect would be futuristic and computer generated.

Horror: This music tends to be slow and quite quiet, but will gradually become louder but still at a slow pace, this will be used to build tension to scare the audience. The music is likely to be dull.

Comedy: In a comedy you would expect an upbeat and happy tune, this is also likely to be catchy, something the audience will remember and smile about.

Fantasy: This genre' music can range from being slow to fast and up beat so boring and quiet.

Romance: This music quiet, soft and calm, this is used to relax the audience and make them enjoy the film which is likely to be sweet and innocent.

Children's films: This is definitely a happy and cheery kind of music for this media, for a children s film or television series it is likely to be catchy and something the children will remember.

Digetic sound - these are natural sounds, the sounds hat are produced naturally from a scene for example, footsteps; heavy winds or a car beeping at another car.

Non-digetic sound - these are sounds that are not natural, for example narration or music that has been edited in.

Verisimilitude - This is the idea of making something appear real or if it is actually real itself.

By changing the music that appears within each genre it makes it more obvious to the audience how they are supposed to be feeling. This will help me to choose the correct type of music for my 2 minute opening to the film, also by using digetic sound, this will help my project to appear more natural and professional to the audience.
