As done with earlier in project 2, I’ve added music in the background of a clip to see how it can effect the atmosphere and context.

Essentially the clip by itself is made to be dark, serious, a relentless deathmatch. However, it becomes so easy to manipulate the mood and context just by adding a song under it. Of course it depends on the genre but in the end it becomes interesting how you can manipulate found footage so much just through the simplest things.

So for this sketch I’m looking mainly at the manipulation – the idea we’ve come to agree to base our future sketches on. Although it’s short I reckon this idea of adding music that may or may not belong can be mixed with other techniques in the post production edit.

To explore this further we’ve decided to see how different types of genres of music can be used to ultimately change the context of a gaming video. This is to give us a better understanding of how far music will take us in terms of manipulation.
