These are the top ten crime films i think the trackilists for these films would be the best to look at as they are the top ten films for a reason.
During this week i met up with a friend which produces music for a profession i spoke him about the research i have done and asked if he could show me a few ideas he thinks would be appropriate so when i come to do my own i have a very clear idea from my research but also from him what it should be like. After researching i have realised i need to think about the purpouse of the song and how i want it to come across to the audience. As the genre of the film is "crime" the music cant be mellow, sad or scary as that does not fit the genre. Its needs to be suited so well that if you listened to it you would be able to tell what kind of genre it is. In my free time i listend to soundtracks from end credits of crime films, and realised it depends on what kind of crime film is it, for example if its a sequel the endings are normally cliff hangers so have upbeat music, that music is also used if the "hero" wins in the end and all the enemies (robbers) etc.. are defeated.

However if the film was a serious sad ending film the music will have a deep meaning and releate to what happened. I have decided to do an instrumental song with no lyrics. As the film is a sad ending very serious crime film. Im going to use music in different ways to be able to relate to this and be able to connect to the film very well.

This week im going to work with my friend so help "trial and error" a few pieces of music i will right up the outcome of this in my new lesson. By doing this and researching sound tracks in crime films i can get a feel for the type of music used in these films.
