For thriller it would seem strange to have a pianist who is also an assassin, and that way I think we can create a really good opneing.
I personally have been making an electrical piece on the music software, FL Studio, which is an eerie/ thriller theme that last just over 2 minutes. The software used a virtual keyboard to visually place notes and their lengths.
For this piece, me and my friend Sam worked practically on a keyboard with another friend called Toby who takes Music,and found the D minor scale would be best suited to this opening.
Doing this will mean more originality and issues with finding/ sourcing music that isn't copyrighted.
After a play-through with Sam on a piano in a music room in which all 4 of us agree to film the piano scene, for his sake (regardless of small takes rather than a long cut of Sam playing the whole song) he asked me to make the piece easier to play with 2 hands and possibility ridding the little quick improvisation parts that are across the piece.
I have now create an easier version of the theme for Sam which should have a lower key range with using both hands separately.
Now it is a case of finding a small music room in our school's music department which is free for playing on a piano (my peer Jack reckons a grand piano would best suit us) to film Sam playing the piano seen in his costume, and then we will do about the corridor scene (an easy place to film right outside our classes) which won't be a problem during lessons when people aren't making lots of noise across the area of the school we usually house in.
This continues to be impressive, Matthew! You need now to get some more detailed research into place - interviews might be a good idea - to determine more precisely the generic conventions you will be choosing to adhere to. Don't forget to place your preliminary c/w piece into the blog.
