Treatment - Soundtrack - Darkness Falls

For our opening, we decided to use this soundtrack, as it fits the genre - action and sci-fi. The beginning of the audio clip is tense, building suspense, before the drums begins, which quickens the pace of our running shots. The metallic noises connote sci-fi, as they are associated with technology. With the audio, we tried to time certain actions with the claps, and the time jump at the end with the noise at 0:58.
Due to practicality issues and the fact that the clip is only 01:09 minutes long we would have to edit the audio clip in order to fit with our opening sequence which is over 30 seconds longer than our sound clip. This would make our editing process more difficult, since this sound clip was most suited to our opening sequence we thought it was worth the extra effort.

Below we have posted some clips of chase sequences in action/sci-fi films that have soundtracks that have inspired our own chase sequence.

The music in this scene of Inception starts off very quietly whilst the two characters are talking and then as the action begins and the chase commences, the music becomes a lot louder and the beat comes in. The difference between this scene and our own was that this scene includes much more fighting and dialogue than our own. The music in our opening sequence has a much more of a sci-fi feel to it, and creates a much tenser ambience.



This clip is a chase scene from The Bourne Identity; the music in this clip didn't heavily influence the ambience and mood of our music but there are some points of this soundtrack which we really tried to capture in our own music. The heavy, fast beats in this scene are something that we really wanted to include in our scene.
