Commission Documentary Unit 3: Music Ideas.

Music Ideas.

For our documentary we don't want stereotypical cathedral music in our video as it's meant to be an upbeat, new, fresh promotional piece about the apprentices.

I decided to do some research into a variety of different genres of music that I thought could fit into our video, another option we have is to take all our ideas together and create a new piece of music.

1. The first music idea I had was the song Take Five by Dave Brubeck, which is an old Jazz song, I know this exact song won't fit but I thought it built up a lot of tension and enigma in our film, however i'm not sure how we will suddenly cut this peaceful piece of music to the loud abrupt sawing and banging in the cathedral however I think this style of song could fit when seeing shots of the Cathedral and the apprentices at work.

2. Another idea I had was to go down the reggae/ hip hop style of music and found a reggae beat on Youtube that was quite slow but built up tension in the cathedral workshop, however it does get a bit repetitive and could bore viewers.

3. Another idea I had was to choose an uplifting cheesy pop song as the video is promotional and is meant to be showing where investors money is going and how it's helping the young apprentices build there careers. I really like how this song could fit and introduce the apprentices (could fit better with emotional backgrounds but we don't have those!)

Or this song below could simply be for at the end of our video when all the apprentices and workers are talking about how they love there job at the cathedral and how they are excited for the future as I think this uplifting song would fit, or even for the credits.

4. I wanted to also look at a Rock n Roll style song which was really upbeat and the beginning of the song is especially good for introducing the cathedral with exterior shots and shots of the apprentices introducing themselves so the audience immediately know this documentary is young, fresh and not a typical slow paced cathedral video.

5. The song below was an idea I had for a really cheesy beginning to our documentary which like the above song could introduce the cathedral and the apprentices, or it could fit with the end of the documentary where the apprentices are talking about why the cathedral is great to work at and why they love the apprenticeship and people they work with.

6.  The final idea I had was a more developed Rock and Roll song beat which could be totally off the radar, however could be seen as an unconventional and totally unique way of selling the documentary with this upbeat song.
