Music used for the Documentary film

Me and Faraz have decided that we should keep the same music running through out the film, this was so the music didn't become the main focus of the documentary. We made the music even quieter than the radio ad so that it could just be heard, we wanted the audience to focus more on what was being said and to view the images that were associated with the voice over.

after we created our documentary, we bot realised we didn't have any music for the beginning of the extract, we tried creating something on garage band, but with limited music available this was impossible to do. So we decided to use classical or opera. We started searching for music that could be used, we tried using music from Mozart as this kept to the Freemason/Illuminati theme. Unfortunately we didn't find anything suitable.


 We needed something that changed tempo and dynamics, so we looked for composers that are considered the most intense composers of the 1800s. Composers such as Beethoven and Wagner.
As a classical musician, i have played many pieces of operas and classical music. And suggested using Richard Wagner's Overtures from his many operas. First we came up with this.

This has some of the techniques we were looking for, such as key change, dynamic change and tempo change. We both felt however that this music wasn't mysterious enough for the part we needed. We also need parts of music that were accented and powerful outbursts for when the "Illuminatum" title appears. I then suggested we try looking for music from the opera Götterdämmerung especially siegfried funeral march, has all the things we needed to finish the documentary.
We used garage band to cut the parts we needed out, we then used theses cut out parts to layered on to the moving image at the beginning of the extract.
