Scripting & Music

We have begun the scripting process of our adverts and whilst doing this, it has led us to also think about music.

Yesturday and Today, we finished off the scripting of advert 2 & 3, in which we included dialogue, timings, actions and stage directions. We have done this to help us and the actors when we film because it will make it easier for them to follow what is going on as well as allowing us to know the order in which things are said etc. We have not yet decided as to whether or not we want to have music in this advert 3 because there is already a lot of dialogue, however once we have uploaded footage onto the mac's then we will experiment with different song choices to see which gives the best effect. I will put down music suggestions in a later post.

We have also looked at advert 2 and written stage directions and timings for the action. Unlike advert 3, there is minimal dialogue except for the voiceover at the end of the advert, therefore we want to use music throughout and perhaps make the music quieter once the voiceover begin.

We are considering finding somebody who plays music to record a short peice of music for us to put in our adverts. The advantage of this is that we can make the music whatever we want it to be providing that they are capable of playing it. The second option for the music is to find a well known piece of music without lyrics to play alongside the action. We could either get a karaoke version of the music or we could get a piece of music that is mainly intstrumental. Me and Hannah are going to look up music to see what we could use.

These are some facts that we thought about the music:
-Link with love or romance
-Music without lyrics/intrumental
-Upbeat to attract target audience
-Modern music
-Easily recognisable
-Perhaps repitious

We plan to use diegetic sound in the adverts even if we do have music in the background because we still want to have aspects of verisimilitude within all the adverts.

We have not yet started the scripting for advert 1, however we plan to get this finished ASAP so that if will be ready for when we move on to filming advert 1.
