Music Choice (Opening Sequence)

Music choosing:

I had a number of different tracks that I could of used in my opening sequence, each of them had a running theme in them as they were all middle eastern. I thought that using a middle eastern track would be more effective then a normal piece of tense music as it would add to the fact that it is set in Turkey. In each of the pieces of music that I found they each build in tension which would be perfect for my opening sequence as that is what i wanted and having a piece of music that mirrored this would add to the effect of it. The first piece of music I found had chimes in the beginning like in the piece of music I chose for mien. I really liked this effect at the beginning as it sounded like a market with all the trinkets clinking together. However this piece of music was too strong at the beginning and overpowering when the first part of my opening sequence was meant to be less tense. The second piece of music that I found was a MIRAGE piece. This I found was too dramatic as the tension was evident strongly from the beginning. Even though it would be perfect for the tension it didn't seem to work with mien. The third piece of music I found was a hip hop middle eastern piece which built tension but sounded more individual and when attached to my opening sequence it wasn't tense when I needed it to be. The one I settled on was perfect and even had a powerful ending with a woman's voice.
