While watching through the film, after foley and dialogue had been added, i noticed that there was limited opportunity for music, without subtracting from the main awkward theme from the film. The media team told me that they wanted specific music not by me for the dance scene in the middle of the film so instead i decided to create a sort of theme tune for the illusive villain named Basin, this made it clearer that the phone call at the start of the film was talking about the same thing that the ending is. another piece of music fills the silence while Olivia walks through the house, giving the film a sort of mysterious “something-isn’t-right” feel.
I used Logik to create the music because it has a lot more availability for synths and instruments that can be modified rather than protools. and for my creative process I listened to the sound track for a few of the Black Mirror episodes that i’ve already mentioned. I noticed that a lot of their background themes were very thin and less intense so it doesn’t draw attention away from the visuals of the film and decided that this was an important aspect that needed to be included in my own compositions.
