Music in film.

I fully believe that music is unbelievably important in film of any kind, without music at all a program would be very creepy and empty, essentially making it hard to watch. This importance is clearly visible when analyzing a film that has the music in the background compared to a film without it. However, having music that doesn't fit the sequence is just as bad as not having music at all. A hardcore fighting scene should not have the Benny Hill theme tune in the background, it just shouldn't. Below I'm posting a video from youtube that shows how much of a difference music can make to even a 30 second clip. I've used this paragraph to identify the importance of music and explored ways that I could make a mistake, in order to prevent me making one.

 As a huge music fan, I really hope I make the correct choice of song/music for my project. If I choose something that doesn't fit it would kill me, but i'm pretty sure I could find something to match the tone. One program I particularly admire for it's music and that is The Great British Bake off. I think the BBC commissioned a band to make music for the program which is something seldom done these days. yes you hear the music over and over again each week, however there is enough of a varaity to stop you from becoming sick of it. My favorite thing about the music is how there is a song for every mood and time. If all the bakers are rushing to get something done, the music is very quick and bouncy whereas during judging the music is slow, deep and tense. I'm going to post a video below so you can see what I mean. I've used this post to identify a film that has good music, in order to give me something to aim for when picking music for my film. it has also taught me to think long and hard before making a decision.

I decided on using 'The Great British Bake off's music because it's happy and it could fit the mise en scene and cinematography i'm going for, a happy and bouncy film that makes people feel better, I feel music like this could reflect that. In some ways I could base my creative design around the music, with shots matching the music and things like that.
