On 03.05.18 Sugini asked me to join her for a meeting with Colin who will be making the music to go with her documentary. She has asked me to come along to help her explain to colin what she wants as myself and her have had many conversation previously about how the music needs to work. This is the main things we spoke to Colin about and asked for:
He will be making three different music tracks each sitting at roughly 2/3 minutes each. These music tracks which each express a particular feeling/emotion so they can be used in certain areas of the documentary to help with the emotional intent. The three emotions we have chosen are one for sadness, one for happiness and one reflective track to show enlightenment.
It has been agreed that the sad track will use a lot of slow low bass noises which sound like gentle solum hums. These are similar to sounds used in Colin's Gunpowder Mill soundtrack but more emotionally appropriated for this piece. It must be slow, deliberate and low.
The Happiness track will be higher piano noises but not fast or too melodic as then they risk causing distractions. It must be slower still but still higher pitched and happy.
The Reflective track will be magical piano sound mixed with other upbeat sound which will agains till be slow so not to distract but will have more power than the others. I found an example for him online of a song 'Chasing Cloud 9' by Luch.
The songs need to be fairly repetitive in melody especially since they will be used more than once and this also gives Sugini the ability to loop them if she needs them for longer.
With everyone in agreement Colin has set out to make the music tracks and intends to have them back to Sugini in two days time. Then Sugini will be able to begin her final assembly adding in all the sound elements and subtitles to the visuals she has edited.
