The Replacement with music by Bill Hundley

A friend who does a music course was interrested in making some music for our porject, we worked with him to make an original score to our opening. This is a rough edit with his music.

We like the first and last song, their subtle and eery-ness work well with the film. But it was hard to make song for the montage and seems a bit innapropriate. We will probably use either the first or last songs in our final cut.

Audience Feedback

The response from our class when we first showed our opening was generally positive. We were unsure about the use of the song Yasmin in the Light by Explosions in the Sky because it was almost too calming, but we liked the drums that sounded like a heart beating as it built tension and the mood of the song juxtaposed with what was about to happen, leaving the audience unprepared. Our choice paid off as the class agreed that the song did fit with our story but there was a critisism of the mash up that song and 528491 by Hanz Zimmer, it sounded messy so we will probably remove part of one of the conflicting songs.

Something we will need to address is that it is not clear that at 1:46 onwards it is meant to be a close up of the computer screen. 


As well as screening it to our media class, we asked for feedback from friends using facebook. A comment left on our video on youtube "the clothes failed...." pointed out our continuity error, the protagonist leaves and comes back in different clothes. We will have to re-film one of those scenes.
