In the film opening we're making we wanted to play with the elements of using music to carry out and cover the whole theme of the film.The music should create and give the audience a certain mood that we wanted them to experience in this case being relaxed and at the same time feeling insecure.Over the past time i have found two prime examples of the idea of building suspense/intensity by using music which are Whiplash and Samurai Champloo-ep14(animation). These two perfectly use the theme efficiently and swiftly grabs the audience's attention even within just a short period of time.The two similarities are the fact that both of them uses drums rolls soundtrack in their scenes to build up suspense and severe mood.
A sample scene from Whiplash:
Addition-From around 1.34 to 1.44 the scenes also uses an interesting technique by muting all the surroundings sounds suggesting that the main character is being fully focused and slowly putting back in the sound of the environment+ the drums.
Sample from Samurai Champloo-ep14:
The scene perfectly make use of the drum rolls sound to build up suspense in such short period of time and at the same time made each actions from the characters be much more meaningful.
The technique we wanted to use from these two examples is to build up suspense quickly in just a short amount of time by using music.We are planning to use jazz music in particular /drum rolls to build that luxurious mood at the same time contrasting with the heavy actions being done by the characters to form that deluxe+insecure ish mood to the audience.
