After a few days working on the intro, I have finished it and it's now ready to put into our final film. I decided to incorporate a repetitive bass note using a delay effect, and recorded a repetitive drum beat. Together, I feel these create a driving rhythm that connotes the severity of the stories. There is then a bass drum that cuts through this repetition, to punctuate the start of each headline, as this is the music that runs underneath the headlines.
For the intro sequence, I then recorded horns and trumpets over this basic rhythm to reflect the grandiose nature of the news. Towards the end, the music then rises to a crescendo, building tension leading into the first story.
In order to create this, I used GarageBand, which is a program that I have never used before. However, with a little knowledge of music, I was able to find my way around fairly easily. The MIDI feature incorporated into this program was also very useful, as it was much easier to edit individual notes and edit the timing. This allowed me to create a more slick sounding piece. The bank of effects was also useful, as I was able to add delay to the bass which made it sound more modern.
