When searching for music for the film it occurred to the group that to give us inspiration we should look at music from similar films.
Near the very end of the film ,when Preston is dragged away, the music will need to be triumphalist ,yet still have an air of doubt as to whether it is Preston, or the clone that is being taken away.
The score below conveys these emotions. The music was originally used in the Film Clear and Present Danger (1994) during a scene when Jack Ryan's(Harrison Ford)convoy is ambushed in Colombia by drug gangs.
The music is used before and during the scene, and gives a sense of anticipation ,and suspense, before the ambush,indicating that something is going to happen. Then during the attack a sense of shock, and then defeat as the attack takes place, and people are killed. Finally victory and triumph as Ryan survives the attack and escapes.
A similar score is the soundtrack from The Fugitive(1993).This plays at the end of the film, and gives a sense of relief that the hero has been proven innocent. But also an sense of grief that he now has come to terms with his wife's death. The music is fast paced
Another scene that will contain important non diegetic music is the chase scene. This is when we see Alpha Running to confront Charles Preston. The music here is from the movie Heat(1995)and is used during the bank robbery scene,the escape and the subsequent shootout. The music is fast paced, and intense, keeping you on edge during the whole scene.A shootout takes place in a street in LA .We hope to musically recreate something similar to this for our chase sequence.
Finally another similar track used in both the Bourne identity and the film collateral. In the film the Bourne identity it is used during a chase sequence involving a the mini vehicle in the streets of Paris. In the film collateral it is used as the music during a nightclub shootout Again we hope to find something similar to this for our short film.
