Music Ideas For Party Scene

After editing all the shots for the party and adding transitions, we needed to find a soundtrack that fit with the shots. Of course, limited by Copyright laws, we could only gain influences from existing artists,but we decided to focus on dance, grime and dubstep artists so that we could remix via a DJ. Artists we took influence from were:
-Borgore

-Rusko

-Kid Cudi

We took inspiration from these artists to create the soundtrack for our party and create a different feeling for each scene. We needed an upbeat track to play during the dancing of the party, but a change int he sound when the murderer enters and we see him in the party. We chose dance beats with a strong rhythm that would be typical of a youth party. The strong bass beat meant it was easy to coordinate the cutting rate of shots and also the zoom shots of the party guests.
For the murderer entering, the shots of him within the party and the 'protagonist' leaving, we needed a lower, more bass heavy track with Dubstep influences. This created a feeling of imminent attack and threat to or from the characters. As we see the murderer later when he receives the text, we will use this track again to show a clear return to him in the party scene.
