CONSTRUCTION: MUSIC

Here you can see me writing the music on 'Sibelius'. I wrote this music for our movie as it addresses the musical side of our protagonist. As well as being an AS Media student I also study AS Music. This project was a great opportunity to incorporate my creative musical side into our film. It is an original composition which I made specially for our film and it helps carry the key narrative of our film as it is quite an emotional piece. It consists of a piano which carries the melody with an ostinato a bass line which changes from being highly played chords to a low grungy, driven bass line, and string instruments consisting of a violin and a viola. The string instruments help to add a theatrical feel to the song and adds to the emotional connection to both the piece of  music and our film. It does this through softly played legato notes being played, the viola playing the perfect fifth to the violin, adding as sense of harmony and texture.
