Sound/Music Decision

 this is our decision for choosing the music

As for the music I chose, I based of mainly from youtube. However before I started finding the music I asked our teacher if I  am allowed to use copyrighted music or not. since most of youtube's music is copyrighted

To start, I optimized youtube's search engine by typing "suspense music background". This was the link to the playlist I found.

Though the one I chose was :

The build up of suspense in the music I think was a perfect match for our plot. Since we started of with a not so suspenseful atmosphere we didn't want to hit the audience with an instant boom for music as it will become boring and too monotone. As the music crescendo's the suspense increases, I think this slow build up makes the documentary have more energy to it, it builds anticipation and creates the ominous atmosphere.  As the documentary opening reaches the end the plot becomes darker in a way it starts to become more serious,  synchronized with the music, I think will succesfully build the suspense me and my group want to create. 

For the beginning, it doesn't need to be suspenseful because we wanted to create a memorical/dramatic moment as the interviewee describes their moments with Bagus. Therefore I asked my teammates their opinons towards multiple and songs and we all agreed on this background music. The slow rhytm in the music allows the audience to breathe and connect to the interviewees. The music also uses instrumental music such as a piano that tends to evoke a sense of calm

Reflection: Using youtube as a way to get music was the easiest way, as I can screen record a extract the audio. A problem I had doing this was probably just finding the right music, I had to get some feedback on the music choices from friends and my teacher which increases the time it took. What Ill do next time is I would probably do more documentary research to identify the type of music they use.
