Sound track examples

Looking at all different types of genre music that is used in action films we have come up with the conclusion that allot of action films just use a theme tune or a song with no singing or very little, however these are usually used at different scene through the film, this type of music is a good way









Pop music examples

I also researched into different into films that contain pop genre music two good examples are:

  • Die Anther Day
  • Avatar

Possible music genres

For our film opeing we have to have have some music involved within the scene, so to do sat down and decided on the possible music genre that would fit our movie genre the best which is action. The types of genres that we came up with are:

  • Opera (not many)
  • pop
  • Rock
  • Theme tunes

The reason we have choose the foollowing music genres is beccase from different movie opemning we have noticed that the they use above genres for example Sum of all fears uses opera in scen near the end when the car blows up.

Other action films that we have both see that has used rock music in is Transformers which was resleased in 2007. The film uses music prtoduced by a rock band called Linkin Park the song name used is What Ive done.







Anther example of music that is rock genre is the Quantum of solace which was released in 2008 the title of song name is Anther way to die which is the main theme song,I choose this as an example because it shows that rock music can be incorporated in action films which Quantum Of Solace is.
However I personally do not like the song because out of all James Bond sound trakcs I thought it was the weakest in my opinion. the reason I used this video because it shows that Rock music can be effective in film opening however for our story line I do not think that rock would suit it.

Action film music




For our film opening we are sure what type of music to include so I have done a bit of research try and find out what music is used for action film and as our genre is action it would be best to look at music form action films, which is what I have done. What I have found is that allot of the music found in action films tends to more electronic and not allot of singing more of tune.
