Evaluation
This project has bin my favourite as I have had a lot of interaction with citadel (the band) and also they gave me quite a bit of control with the DVD menu and the music video. I have learnt a lot over the past few months from recording gig to shooting on white screen (the infinity curve).
The hardest part to this for me was recording the live gig as this took a few attempts and the sound wasn’t exactly amazing and then when I did get it right finally there was some body stood in the way and you couldn’t see any of the band, and the set of the stage was really poor but I had nothing to do with that. The band ask me to record that gig as they wanted it to looked busy and it was a pretty big as they were playing with a big band. Also I had the camera set up on a tripod and I was taking pictures of the band so I couldn’t see what was going on I should have got somebody to help me and keep and eye on the camera, also I wanted t get another shot from behind the drummer but the amps were stacked so high and the cabs were as well that you couldn’t even see him.
The music video went ok had a few changes but still stuck to the same concept of the singer running around the woods and the “white rooms” cutting back in and out. That was mainly the bands idea and I just filmed it and put it together but I still had my input and ideas with it.
The DVD menu was mainly my idea but citadel gave me a rough idea of how they wanted and I came up with what I have now and they liked it.
They were also happy with photos, as I took a few from all of the gig I took pictures of and them selected the best ones,, well the ones I tough were the best.
The best thing I like about the DVD I made is the photo I took witch I’m every happy and also the actual animated DVD menu I made it in after effect and even though it is quite simple I think its rather effective and it fits in with there genre of music doomy metal and I thought the lighting and thunder and rain would be perfects as they have connotation of doom and gloom
One of things that I wasn’t happy with was the gig I actually used for the DVD as I said before some was stood in the way and it was hard getting a gig for them and they only had a few that I could go and record as some of the venues were to small a dark, and by the time I had resized it and every thing it was to late to re-record the gig and put it on the DVD.
But over all the band like this DVD and I enjoyed doing it again, if was to do it again I think I would make a better plan of was when to meet with the band and record but seem as they all work it was hard to get every one at the same time but it worked out well.

more horror films
Jason x
This is the latest in the Jason Voorhees saga it is probably one of the worst out of them as, it is just pathetic how it is set in the future , but some of the music in it is used quite well. Take the title music for example this is a extremes build up of string and brass instruments it very power full and very dominating and even a little intimidating as it make the viewer uncomfortable another good example of this would be when Jason stabs through the chagrined chamber at the woman and stabs her with his machete the music is extremely over the top as she is running out of air the music goes with it to symbolise the fact that she is freezing to death.
There is a lot of use of string instruments in this film, this can be to represent suspense or fear or even a sense of an enigma, for example when the doctor is doing an autopsy on Jason the music is mysterious and with soft note from the violin and Chellos and long draw out notes from a bass.
When Jason kill some it the music is almost the same as the title music, this could be his moti, but just a little different, at alit bit of a faster tempo and more plunking from the stringed instruments, or with Sharpe stroke of the violin depend on how he kills them, most of the time is it a Sharpe stroke of the violins, this is mostly taken from psycho (the classic shower) this would be to represent the speed and the burtaily of his kills
night of the living dead
this film is one of the classic horror film the music through out this film is intensely creepy, the fact that its so old adds even more of an atmosphere to the horror aspect, its one of those films that as it gets older it get even more scary.
The use of the trumpet really gives you a feel of terror. The music is at a quite fast tempo and an also droning sense to it, with a steady beat ,but the stringed instrument bring a feeling of despair as the are all over the place, for example at the begging when Barbra is running away from the 1st zombie in the film this represent panic as he desperately try to get away from the zombie.
The use of high note through out this film is used well, this can be used to make add shock into the viewer to make them jump, for example when Barbra goes into the house this is used twice as she 1st see the mounted head of the deer and when she walk up the stairs to find the half eat skull of a human the music deliver a strong power piece to make the viewer jump or to be shocked as they don’t know what to expect next.
The structure of the music in the night of the living dead is usually a scaled descending or ascending then followed by chords, then a scale going back wards and for wards(00:16:50).
Music boxes are quite common in horror films as the contrast with the genre as the are a symbol or beauty and innocence and that contradicts he film or the environment it in.
Shaun of the dead
Even though this is a spoof horror film it still has some rather interesting pieces of music mainly they are just short sample or sound and have bin manipulated, very fast sharp and dramatic to add to the speed of things happening, and if there is music the music is high pitched.
An interesting part when they find out how to kill them (31:47) is start off with psycho type of music high pitched violins and scary then goes into a proper song hip hop sort, to add to the comedy side of it as then back into a sort new age horror stlye
Alien 3
The music through out this film is rather soft but at the same time epic and most of the time its music that get you on the edge of yours seat as well as the film it self. The usage of the instrument is played softly and used mainly brass giving it a smooth flowing genital sound and in some parts of the film it is epic
00:53:00
when the alien appears for the third time that brass instruments deliver a power full and full body impact.
Also when the fire brakes out the music is very powerful and at the end when riplie throws her self into the lead as well as bin powerful it also makes the viewer feel sad, and gives the audience a sense of sympathy
Constantine
The music in this film is rather relaxed and chilled out, even those it a film about a war between heaven and hell, who wins the souls, for example the first exorcism in the film the music isn’t epic all or even horrifying the fact the music is chilled out an relaxed is reflecting the emotion of john Constantia as he deals with the young girl, but before that when the mother o f the girl see her the music is very different as it embraces the full power of horror projecting the emotion of fear from the mother into the viewer .this is delivers the usage of brass instrument to create a shocking and devastation sound that also socked the viewer into fear . But johns is more relaxed showing the he knows what he doing and that he has done it many times before.
But he doesn’t rely have his own motif in the film.
When Dodson is watching the video of her twin jump of the building there is a cello in the background witch add even more sadness to the atmospeahre cellos are can play very low notes witch are god for depressing or sad music.
Another good use of music is Constantine and Dodson are in complete darkness and he used the light to expel the demons, the music build up before they come is evil nd sinister as it build up with stringed instrument as and brass, usually you expect tit to end in an explosion of the instruments clashing but the ends with the sound of the demons screaming and the fire staring then music stops as soon as the monsters starts to burn or come into the light were the viewer can see them thus give the viewer a feeling of what you cant see you fear most so when they come into the light you can see them and when there not the creepy scary music come into play.
But the most epic piece of music in the film is when john and his sidekick are trying to removed mammon from Dodson, the music low and has a very fast tempo keeps you on the edged of your seat as well as a little panic.
John Constantine sort of has a motif it’s the same music as you first hear in the very 1st exorcism but it only comes into play a few times in the film so I don’t think it cant really classed as his motif
Clover field
The fog
The music in this is rather creepy as the first piece of music we hear is a very slow piano witch creates a scary almost death feeling atmosphere, this piano is also used in other horror films such as jaws and Halloween and to make this even more terrorising this is played when an old sailor is telling a ghost story,
This film also utilizes low-pitched droning sound witch makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and realize some is not right hear.
When the fog 1st appears there again there is a low drowning sound this represent some thing in the paranormal, it reminds me of a stage in limbo as the sound get lauder the situation turn for the worse and as the kill stop the droning dies out.
You could call this the fogs motif
There also is a remarkable piece of music the sounds incredible like the Halloween them as the little boy Andy runs home with a piece of wood the says “Dane” the eerie piano comes in with short little riff and then it plays the same riff but sound like its played o a stringed instrument witch adds even more of a scary atmospheres to the situation as the wood was a gold coin.
As the priest read from the journal again the “paranormal” music comes in but this time is this a 5 note piece played by the piano.

insperation for last project
What film inspired me to make this film were evil dead:2 even though this is a realy old horror I think it set a mile stone for all other horror films , I just love he fact there are no special effect every thing is either a prop or made in small scale ,this take a lot of effort and I think that just add to the atmosphere of the film, it one of those films that I can never get board of.
There are quite a few gory parts in it and seem that at the time the there weren’t many special effect ever thing was done by have as so to speak so I wanted to have that in my film but then again I did want to have some sort of special effect in it, the make u from evil dead2 was really inspiriting to me if you take the part were Bruce turns in to that demonic version of him self it all make up and a bit of latex this is what I want to achieve in my film.
Another film that inspired me was Alfred Hitchcock psycho as this film I THE millstone for all other horror films as it has the classic murder in the shower with the violins and its about a man who think mother still alive and dresses up like and kills guest who stay at his hotel, that fact that you don’t know realy much or even any thing about this “psycho” is quite the enigma and I liked that but you do get a rough idea of what has happened to him towards the end I want to again incorporate this into my film, in away you don’t know relay what’s happened but some how you can tell
And thre3rd film that inspired me was planet terror now this is a dedication to all other horror films as it had similar part form other films like for example when the stripper lose her leg and then get it replaced with a machine gun-evil dead Bruce get a chainsaw on his hand when he cut of his own, also this film is ridicules gore just for the sake of it head exploding every were guts falling out from every were, it just fantastic but some time you think to your self this is a bit of a spoof, but none the less good, it more of an action horror thriller but still has load of aspect of horror. Usually in horror films these always people that survived like in planet terror and all the other film I have described, but in the film I’m making I want no one to survive, as I think his make it a good horror films personally I don’t like when people survive but then again you can argue that how will the story get passed and so on and on. So these are my inspection for the film I have made all classice horror films with a little bit of action mixed in with them.

these are the wooded areas that i found when i was out and about i rely like the top ones with the dense trees as this is what i had in mind @ first so i am defiantly going to use this spot and whilst i was there i found a little facility witch we could use in some way but i need to have a think about that idea n talk with the band.i just need to take some photos off in the town center and in the quarry.
white-room recording
this is a rough idea as to what the live footage will look like in the music video this didnt excatly go to plan as i didn't relay plan it out well enough i didn't have a CD player and there were just going by the drums...but some of the clips came out well and next time i do this i will have a CD player.

pictures in the DVD
in the dvd you will able to select and view picture that i have take of citadel, the way i have go about this is having a slide show but what there is a few problems i came across in this or things i need to take into consideration witch is how long the slides are going to on the screen for or have them all as individual chapter in witch case you can skip through them and pause it so you can look at them better al made in the photos have a behind the screens part witch would be pictures of recording the video, again this could be a separate chapter in witch you can skip through .
and also at the moment i have around 189 picture of citadel some of the are good but some are a bit shit so i will have to sort them out.
this is hat i have so far as a slid show for some reason a few of the pic are horizontal and are not suppose to i think that because of the size of them but i can iron that out later there are take and the packhorse and at the subculture sadly seem the basest broke his finger they had to cancel a gig and then a few other so they could teach some on els to play for them in the mean time but yet again some thing happened and they had to cancel another gig so i have actual got as manny photos as id like but there will more coming up in the easter holidays

influences
for the music video the first few video i look at were tool and mastodon the videos that cautgh my eye were iron tusk by mastodon as the video had a lot of the band going in and out of focus, so when i come round to recording the live footage part for the music video on wednesday i mite use this technique as it will give a powerful vibe to the video, also there was stinkfist by tool as it has a extremely weird them to it as do nearly all of the other tool song, i was think about incorporating as very strange them to the video but it didn't go with what the song was about so i decided to scrap the idea, as well as the other idea i got from another tool video parabola witch used stop animation witch again didn't go with meaning of the song-which is to go mental, so after having a chat with the band at the pub we came to a conclusion that it would be a good idea to get the singer of the band(josh) to run around a wood or forest, but if you look at typical metal videos you see that quite a few bands use a wood,forest or mountains to show how "metal" they are so that idea bin a bit cliché we decided to have josh running round a few different locations.
i have found the 3 location and just need to photograph the other location also see if it ok to film on there seem as it is in quarry but i will upload the picture in my next blog, and also i will be taking pictures on wednesday or an extra camera to show the making of the live footage, and this thursday there is another gig down at the subculture so i am going to have 2 camera and turn the level down on the cameras so i can have a decent sound and record it on a dictaphone again so i have a back up track,seems i have ready recorded @ the subculture i have a rough idea of what to this time and learn from my miskteaks last time
