Non-Diagetic Music For TV Ident

How Do You Find Music For A Science Channel?

when choosing the music i had to ask myself three questions:

1) What mood does the music bring across?

2) the speed of the music?

3) does it fit with the concept of the whole product?

the reason why i came up with this questions to find the right music is because with reference to question 1, if the music was bringing forth a mood of happiness it wouldn't compliment a science channel. the reason i say this because the notion of the Science TV ident is to prove that it is a station of factual and science that can be taught throught television, a new era of science if you like.

A channel based on science would have mysterious music, mind blowing and victorious. therefore the mood of the music would need to be serious/mellow or even experimental.

the speed of the music must be slow to impact the elements of the mood of the music; serious/mellow/experimental if it was fast it wouldn't suit the mood nor suit the speed of the moving images in after affects.

the third question is an evaluation of the other questions posed. If question 1+2 elements were added then it would fit in with the elements of the product because it would not only meet requirements (question 2)but would make it viewable and enjoyable at the same time.

browsing some websites i thought about some really heroic music sum sort of legend, a agent then i came up with using the James Bond music from gold finger, which was my favourite Bond movie to date and the music was perfect.
