Because of the change in title sequence, we need to make a brand new soundtrack to fit it. We've done some research into music and themes to see what we can use and develop.
Lux Aeterna - I think this piece is fantastically effective. Its slow pace helps to gradually ease you into the music, its low tones also help to create a mysterious atmosphere. I also think that the more powerful parts to this are good in signalling danger... amazement and a mysterious but imminent and gigantic danger as well as doom. I think we could use different aspects of this within our soundtrack to build up tension, enigma and thrill.
The Vocals - I find the vocals in this piece are very effective at giving a sense of greatness... but it doesn't necessarily sound like a 'good' greatness. I think it sounds like something unholy and fearful but of great power. Which would be something to fear. These vocals are low and very powerful, but the harmonizing vocals after the first give a very innocent feel, I believe this would be good in representing the protagonist. As for the background, I can hear organs a other wind instruments. I think this supports our theme of 'old' and 'ritualistic' as it gives a sense of religion and aged music.
Sound can be used to reflect different moods or characters, even their backgrounds. In the first episode of Ashes to Ashes, soundtrack is used for this very reason. At first sound is non-diegetic and sounds muffled, even mysterious. This helps to reflect how the woman we're now watching, passing through a crowd of partying men and women is confused. Later we see a noble policeman emerge from his car and as he comes to save the day triumphant music is played to resemble the type of character he is. (no youtube video)
Sometimes sound is used to create enigma and fear. Low tone music often fits depressing, angry or fearful moments, most notably in thriller or horror films.
